It's tempting... I want dark gold rims, that'll be something I do for sure. But in terms of performance I'm hesitant because the plan is to sell the car in 3 - 4 years time and move up to a Focus RS or something better. That said, a Tomei Ti Expreme exhaust sounds so spectacular it's difficult not to buy one... I could listen to that turbo all day long. I just worry about losing value because of modifications. I also need to purchase a service manual as I might pre-emptively replace the piston rods in the engine with titanium counterparts, apparently the stock ones aren't all that great.
You're going to do engine work yourself? That sounds pretty brave.

The perks are pretty great and it's consistently named one of, if not the best, workplaces in all of Canada based on competitive pay and job satisfaction. I make $30K more here than I did working as a lead designer for a multi-billion dollar sports broadcasting company where the management was atrocious and they mostly hired sociopaths :olo:

Sounds fun! I enjoy UI/UX a lot as part of my job, it's like the cherry on top after designing a good back-end :)

Do you like it? How long have you been in this profession?

It's been 7 years since I graduated from design school and in that time I've been switching roles from company to company. Started in advertising and art direction, then went into broadcast design for studios and live sports, then freelanced couple years as a digital/print designer before deciding to go full-time at this company. I kinda grew into this role and enjoy the challenge of learning as I go, so far so good :)

Or it sounds like someone who got bored of companies that didn't keep him engaged.

Maybe you should stick to washing dishes bucko.

Guess that explains why my go-pro cuts everything up into 15 minute videos.

That's probably due to reaching a file size limit.

YouTube limits new accounts with low number or upload (less than 5 or so) to 10 minute videos.
