1992 Acura Integra w/ a bunch of crap

I would assume the distance/seclusion is what kills that market. I have a few friends that were in Anchorage, and one in Juno for a little while. They said it was beautiful, but they'd never live there again haha.
s**t, my view is a wall. And a desk, with a bunch of s**t on it.The view from my office window.
Couple helicopters hogging up my hanger where I was hoping to drop the Teg today
Did my first ever spring install this morning. Took about 3 hours from start to finish. Would have gone smoother but I had to do the front springs in a round about way because the spring tool I rented was too big to fit in the OEM springs while they were compressed.

What he said ^
Well... Up here the primary used market is all about Subaru or 4x4 pick ups so when a Honda shows up on CL, i can pretty much guarantee the guy selling it isn't getting a hundred calls a minute on it like something AWD would get up here. I can count on one hand the amount of people I know up here than have personally swapped a motor in a Honda but none of them do it on a regular basis and none of them are flipping them that's for sure. So, easy.. Well yes and no. The easiest thing about this is that I don't' have much competition and I always have cash on hand. But believe me, I don't buy everything I see and have run across several that are totally trashed. I'll only pick up the ones I know are worth my time and money. But again, my advantage here unlike you guys is that I don't have to compete with other Honda guys when a decent project shows up for sale.
Still... I don't plan on being here much longer (if any) past my two year contract (I'm a year deep come Feb).
Where u gonna try and move once ur contract is up?
Well... Where ever the money takes me I guess? I took this job because it's a huge +1 on my resume. Really... I have to get back to civilization man. It's an experience of a life time, but I couldn't live here forever. This place here is a little hub for the main branch of the company which is based in New Iberia Louisiana. Not that I really want to live there, but they pay relocation which is easily $20k+ to move a family in/out of Alaska and they have amazing benefits which is hard to find anymore. So... I may try to relocate there or I might just test the hiring pool again which is how I found this job in the first place. Only way i'm staying here is if they pay me double my current salary (Though I make a small fortune at this job, I also pay a small fortune to live here and in the end, i'm really no better off other than my resume).
If I could pick my "dream" location, i'd like to get back to a place with 4 season of weather. I love snow, but I HATE cold. To me, below zero is cold (-30 up here is a normal day) but I could deal with 20 degrees plus all day. Oregon or Texas would be great. Family in Texas, but I love central Oregon for the seasons.
