just some random work pics, both botched jobs and really nice jobs

[pbkid]

ok, maybe someone will find this interesting, i dunno...

just wanted to share some of the botched jobs that people have DIY'ed themselves in the past, then brought it into us to 'fix'

ya, thats a live wire from the battery with NO FUSE on it....talk about unsafe huh? ya i refused to touch his car once i found this...

those are 'safely' secured wires underneath of a customers dash, ya those were hot, and connected to the car's ignition...

customer showed up with no center console, just thought it was funny that they just paid me almost $1000 for a sound system, but they cant afford to put a center console in their car...

ya, that customer thought you had to peel back the carpet to remove the speaker, then couldnt get it to stick back on

ya, i liked that one too, wood screws to hold parts together in a plastic car!

this guy had NO door handle on the drivers door...had a pair of pliers to grab the little metal bar that turns the latch..

ok, keep in mind all of these customers are paying for me to install things on their cars, anywhere from $50 and up...

just thought i would share some stuff that makes me wonder about people..

That's just sad... how many of these losers are there with their baby-mama and kid - who is getting formula through food stamps?

haha funny stuff.. the worst install ive ever seen is a guy who drilled down through his floor to mount a sub box.. and drilled into his gas tank lucky he didnt spark anything!

ive driven around without interior door panels before during installs though, had to use pliers to open the door for those trips hehe

You would have loved my VX when it went through the Dynamat install. From dash to rear hatch, there wasn't a single interior panel mounted.... and I drove it for about a week that way, heh.

ya but these people arent in the middle of installs...thats the way they drive their ride all the time...thats the weird part...

ya, we get tons of people with old junker cars who drop like $1500 on sound systems, and they have at least $2000 in chrome on the car, but the car is like 6 different colors and rusted through all over the place...

one of my pet peeves with installing is that i have lots and lots of people come into the bay to put like 3 15's in their expedition, but they have child's seats in the back for babies...it is SOOOOO bad for a small child to have that type of bass around them, their heart cannot handle that type of pressure...can give very bad heart murmurs...i just feel like telling them that they are ruining their childs future health...

oh, after i posted this last night i had a female customer come in and ask me...
her- 'do you guys install those GPS's on cars?'
me- 'ya sure,garmin or tomtom?'
her- 'no, those ones that let you track your kids car so you know where they are?'
me- 'no, sorry, i cannot install a privacy invading device on your childs car, maybe try asking them where they are going?' and im thinking maybe you will have a real relationship with your child instead of a bunch of lies...

needless to say she was very offended...does it really surprise her though? im wearing skate shoes with a large mohawk, do you expect me to help you spy on your kid??

Nah, what offended her was the fact that the kid of hers she wants to spy on ALSO wears skate shoes and sports a large mohawk. She had a flashback of him talking back to her, hahaha.
