Well I'm new here and I didn't see an intro section so I thought I'd introduce myself here. I was up in Ft. Mitchell this weekend when you guys where having your meet/burnout contest. LOL

I work for CSX Railroad out of Louisville and work up to Cincinnati and that's our away from home hotel. I had no idea about this site but you boys had some SICK cars up there.

I talked to a few people up there and everybody seemed really cool.

Enough of the boring crap. My name is Brian, I have an '05 SRT-4. Mods are: Mopar st. 1 ecu, AGP BFMIC, AGP WGA, AGP catch can, Injen SRI, Thermal R&D Tbe, Tein springs, Promax 6000K HID's, HP Racing Evos (18x8) with 225/40/18 Kumho ASX. Soon to come are stage 2 injectors, Walbro 255 and Diablosport tune.

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, I am on my cell phone and like I said, didn't see an intro section.

I'll post pics when I get home.

That is one mean looking srt! I didn't like the wheels at first, but they grew on me!
Love that intercooler set up, it looks mean as hell from the front view!

Thanks man!! I personally love the wheels. They are fairly popular with the SRT crowd. As far as the intercooler, it needs to be polished really bad. Too bad most people get a better look at the rear than they do the front, if you know what I mean. LOL

Hey welcome to the site. I know a few people who work for railroads and have been trying to get a job there myself. How long have you been with them? Sweet SRT. You were in the right place at the right time for sure.

Thanks for the welcome!! As far as the railroad industry, the only advice I have is stay away!! If you have a decent job now, just stay put. Of course I can only speak of personal experience with CSX but they do not give a crap about their employees. All we are is a name and number. I can't however complain about the pay. They pay us very well. It does come at a cost though. I am married with two kids and I am away from home way too much. For instance, I worked over 3200 hours last year. The average employee who works a 40 hour week works around 2080 hours per year. Anyway, I've been there almost 10 yrs., and was really worried about getting layed off last year. We had over 100 guys furloughed in Louisville alone, 2100 system wide.

I hear you there. The guy I know who made 90k one year is single and he said yeah you will make good money but you will definitely work for it! I had a steady job that was just a step above making ends meet. I hate the stress of not being able to pay for things and get what I want so it is a toss up. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate though. Kids are great! Hopefully you don't get furloughed. With things maybe picking up and your seniority. Guy I know has 8 yrs, but works out of Avon, IN mainly.

Oh no. The car wasn't there, just me. That is my home away from home.
