On second thought, a ride would be inappropriate. A drive is what is called for!

I did some quick back of a napkin math:

529/4 = 132.25 posts each year
132.25/12 = > 11 posts a month and more than one every 3 days.

This, of course, does not account for vacations and holidays (or aliases)!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Be careful about that "older demographic" stuff. Some of us 50ish types may be a little less interested in the boy racer stories. (I find them amusing). I am also surprised at the fascination with Pics-given that most are black or platinum or whatever anyway. The real benefit is the sharing of useful information on such things as recalls, problems, etc. and personal experiences on settings, SMG, etc. It is a certainly little addictive especially when waiting for delivery.

When I am at work I pull 24 hour shifts at the firehouse, so I spend 12 hours on the board and 12 hours helping the citizens!!! I often check the board at 3am after returning from a call! But, I also check Ferrarichat.com, so I am a double loser!!!

Zlaatan,
Your no loser! I used to dream to, just be patient I believe it will happen for you also!!!

Rodman, where are you on the job?

rodman31 · 10th August 2006, 00:01

I work for Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department. We have 36 stations with 2 more online in the next year and 1200 uniformed personnel. There are over 1 million people in Fairfax. We are located right outside DC. I am an apparatus technician, fancy word for driver! I have been on the job for 15 years, 10 more until retirement!!

You on the job?????

I am Captain of an Engine company in my home town (hatings on Hudson, NY). We have 4 Engines and a Truck and only 2 square miles and about 2,000 residents. It is a 100% volunteer department. I joined over 9 years ago and it is the best thing I do.

Ok this is OT as well, but Robert, and please forgive me, one of my old girlfriends fancied herself as an "apparatus technician". Hope I needn't tell you what she meant by "apparatus"...
