I volunteer at the university library because I've decided to pursue a career in academics (done with the engineering thing after 20 years). I sit at the reference desk in the upstairs stacks, which happens to be in the middle of the floor and not against a wall, and help students find articles and journals for research papers. I always have fellow students all around me browsing the stacks.
Imagine my horror when I was innocently browsing the forum out of boredom and scrolled down to images that could easily cost me any future position at the university and possibly even threaten my student status.

I don't think Chuck's post was distasteful and Fred's was certainly not, but Markus not only crossed the line, he destroyed it. Thanks Markus! I'm still hoping I don't get a call from the library director or worse. Hopefully no one saw my screen.

No hard feelings on my part. I'll just stick to reading books while on duty, lol!

Sorry...back to cars!
A bra would look terrible and do bad things to your paint.

Sorry everyone

Look I guess it is kind of my fault with the title like that. I am a moderator in a lexus forum and well we would not have allowed the photos either. My bad ladies and gents...no disrespect meant. I certainly did not join the forum to start causing issues. Love the car and have been debating for over a year and a half about getting rid of my Harley and getting one...finally did. Happy to be here!

As far as the bra on the car...I have it in my trunk and am pretty sure I will never put it on the car. May sell it I don't think it has ever been used.

Two tips:

1) Don't do personal stuff while working
2) Find a job that's not boring you (into doing other personal stuff)

One tip: learn to read or shut up.

It's not a "job" and I can do whatever the hell I want while there (within reason).
What if someone was viewing the thread while on break at their job and had gotten fired for it, smart guy?


Bonus tip: don't post porn on the 986 forum or pretend that it's ok for others to do so.

Got it.

But are you shure your job at the university library is to browse the 986forums?

And maybe the male students would have been interested in your car studies.
