Default Apprently killing your car is bad.

So I just got a new job at AutoZone. (Hell Yeah!) So for ****s and giggles we took the diagnostic reader and saw what codes our cars were putting out. We did mine first. Number 1 cylinder misfiring. Number 4 cylinder misfiring. Excessive speed reached. Excessive rpms reached. 4 FREAKIN CODES! Im like "WTF!?!" So yeah guess what I get to do tomorrow morning on my day off? YAY for me![:'(]

Oh and the plugs I use are the Densos that cost ike $15 a piece. So thats $60 outta my pocket.

How old do you have to be to work there? And how did u apply? Paper application or online? I need a job, AutoZone wouldn't be a bad place to work.

Yes Mossy but why?[:'(] I get 20% off everything. Booyah!

No CEL. I was stumped as hell when I saw those codes pop up. And pissed.

I think just sixteen. Didnt matter to me. Im 20 so it was all good. I applied on paper. Just went to the register and asked for an app. Filled out right there.

Yeah i was suprised as hell. I think its because Ive hit my rev limiter 1 too many times. And the fact that I took my car up to 137. I think that might have something to do with it. Thanx 2000 low red si. Im so glad im quitting Lowes and working at Auto Zone. I can take an ASE pretest and if i score high enough Auto Zone will pay for me to take the real thing. After 2 years of being there and passing the written test I will be ASE certified in auto parts. That means a nice big payraise. The manager was telling me it was anywhere from a $2 to like $6. So i could end up making like $14 an hour just selling car parts and having like no real responsibilities. Damn Im gonna love this job![sm=wootwoot.gif]
