*gook

And troof. When I was learning how to crawl, my head got rug burn because my neck wasn't strong enough to hold my head up :rofl:

They expect you to play off the school loan from the money you will be making from your new job AFTER you graduate.

Either way, no excuses. The statement still stands. You would learn a lot more about cars from doing something like that than from replacing leaky radiators and normal maintenance. DO IT!

Nice job! :) Smarty pants!

i concur with paragraph 2

however, i see a lot of college grads looking for jobs for months after they get out of school

Yes, you are right. However, its just smart thinking to save money to pay the loan off quicker.

The crap I have done before on cars that fall under regular maintenance require special tools for BMW. Without them, it gets your mind thinking on what you can use in the garage to get the job done. :)

if its still like that when he graduates i believe he was ****ed from the begining:lol:

I have a 6 month grace period.

I do, only if there is a happy ending.

About as cool as dating a girl who doesn't shave or shower

congrats tho rly

Truth.

i know about the 6 month grace period. i'm just saying... it ain't easy finding a job out of college when you've got thousands of other recent grads right out of college looking at the same jobs as you are.

unless you know someone or have professional experience in the field, its tough

fortunately, i never graduated so i didn't have to worry about any of this BS :)

I am going to try my best to get into a co-op program and keep up a high GPA. I am going for mechanical engineering and my dad works at a refinery so I may have hope there.

You know there wont be. But for real... lunch sometime! We have some good choices around us!

Yeah I know. I actually do think that you are someone who knows his way around a car.

But once you introduce boost, you learn a lot more about cars. There is a whole new level of tuning to learn about. How the engine responds to boost, different degrees of timing, different a/f ratios, detonation, octane, etc...etc..etc...
Not to mention that you learn a lot about a electronics and a cars wiring when you attempt build your own megasquirt board and make your car run again from the ground up.

Thats really the next level stuff that teaches you the inner workings of an engine.

Good luck at the new job Nick! Isn't A/C nice?

And good job Art! Not bragging, but im proud of myself...I was on deans list last semester and will probably get another letter from my summer semester but that was only one class. Pardon me... but toot, toot lol.

My next step is doing a 5-speed swap on the BMW. After that, I will start gathering parts for a turbo setup and megasquirt. I have talked to Jon who has boosted many M50's before, and he said that reading the book for Megasquirt is the key before you attempt to hack the wiring up.

i got on the dean's list at montco, big ****ing deal :lol: it was for part time students too lol, i got an A and B in two classes haha

Hahah nice job Michelle!! :) Dean's List is definitely something to be proud of!!!

I was super proud when I got it a couple of times during my college career. Definitely a lot of hard work... with a sweet reward in the end :)

hmmm sounds like rain started lol

Well, you will have to show me cause I can only see Arby's and I am not a fan.

It's great haha, the detailing is still going on though, I have this job as a source of income over the winter while the detailing slows down and the hours work PERFECTLY.

Thanks!
It's pretty cool for me to get something like that in the mail because I used to be a high school drop out who thought college was something that I would never do. :lol:

Carrabbas, TGIFriday's, some mexican place, Friendly's, some place with subs, some place with Salads and Domino's Pizza are all at Painter's Crossing.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Carrabbas. Well, this big texas roll will do for now.

its not a happy ending if Oakes cries after the fact... so...

Ken, so what that it's montco I took almost 3 years to suck it up and go to school and I still don't even want to be going to school. The fact that I pushed myself through all my classes especially while going to work full time and while I dealt with my relationship of 2 years failing...twice... is really impressive to me that I got straight A's... Let alone an A at all.

Holy **** that rain is loud

I've never cried after the fact....the girl on the other hand....

What the **** is up with this storm?

Hollllllyyyy **** is it pouring. Almost just crashed my car lol.

i'm just joking around :(

i do envy people that are able to do it. i just hate school... i was always a hands on learner and couldn't deal with the book stuff

wtf is everybody getting rained on but me?

im the same way. I learn it alot better doing it. Probably why im better at lab based science courses and math.

no rain here

Wasn't saying it like that... but since I don't want to be there it gets annoying when people give me **** so I tend to get snappy lol sorry!

I'm right there with you on the hands on thing. Thats why I'm glad I already have the business job to go along with my business major

Dan should probably not be driving his car in the rain and posting on tst at the same time..... :( I like my boyfriends when they're alive and not smooshed into pieces

it just rained on half my building... literately. the other side is sunny.

I love driving my BMW when its heavy down pour. People are in the right lane doing 45mph on the highway because there is water on the road, but I cruise right by them doing 55mph because the weight of the car, plus the width of the tires and the quality of the tires cause the car to just stick to the ground. All I hear is water hitting the under body of the car and see water flying on the sides but the car is nice and planted.:mrgreen:

larger weight distribution over water isnt really a good thing..

lol @ me searching in Google trying to determine if my ipod touch is a 1st gen or a 2nd gen (cause I'm trying to sell it) for the last 15 minutes only to find the answer in 2 seconds by looking at the apple site. grrrrrrrrrrr.

Well my car is balanced fairly well, so its not like all of the weight is in the front or the back. Plus, the car is pretty wide.

You can get forebearance on student loans as long as you don't have a job. But they still accrue interest.

sti+snow tires = 140mph in the rain with no problem

Mark- I took out a $5,500 loan for two semesters. With interest, it comes out to $11,000.


Marcus- Sti+Marcus=dumbass.

i meant the tire itself, assuming you have wideish tires.

if you had no tread you would definately hydroplane..as would most other cars. A good set of tires with a good tread setup to keep the water from being under your tire is whats going to keep you to the pavement :cool:
