Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Yeah! The place is around 2200 sq feet I believe. But the ceilings are like 10-12 feet high so it feels huge inside lol It's awesome. Can you see why I dont want to leave now? xD

 

I've had my share of small houses, also bigger ones. (I remember the 5 bedroom place my parents rented in the countryside before they almost went bankrupt. omg that house was awesome even though it looked like a giant cube lol) 

The smallest house was a single wide trailer. That was rough. I hated that place lol

 

But yeah.. we've moved a lot. Supposedly though this is the end. After they almost went bankrupt they kinda went the debt-free way of doing things. No credit cards/no loans (Except for the house, and they had a HUGE down payment to make it small. It's just a shame they decided to do this so late lol


So yeah I had an interesting home life... I think we moved 18 times. Cant remember. It's been crazy, I hope I never have to move that much. I just want to find a place and settle down lol

2200 square feet? that doesn't seem like a lot. mine is only 500 sq ft smaller surprisingly. but my living room too has tall ceilings too, so it does feel open. if only i can bust the wall separating the kitchen and living room to make it feel more open. if u wanna know more about my house i have a link lol http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/3620-Agate-Dr_Modesto_CA_95356_M26394-97996 surprisingly 250k for this house is quite generous. considering it's 30 years old now.

since nobody's posted anything in this thread since Monday (is the the first time this thread has been dead for this long?)

 

Camaro is better than M4!

 

 

but on a serious note, I can't get over how the new Camaro looks... nice and aggressive front, and then everything else looks like a malibu... boring ass snoozefest sedan...  whats everyone's thoughts on the new Camaro aesthetically?

In my life I've lived in more than 8 different houses in my 17 years. But this is where we're currently at. Going to be widening the driveway this summer because whenever we have people over it looks a bit like a used car lot with everyone parked in the yard

 

The driveway has been fixed up since this was taken (September 2007)

How's the parking situation where you guys go for the day? We have two lots, upper and lower. The upper lot is $15 for a permit for the year and parking tickets are $5 for every violation, like parking in a staff spot, taking up multiple spaces, parking without a permit, and also where most of the accidents happen, and then there's the lower lot, free parking, relatively low traffic and accidents, just a farther walk. Both lots are always full, and for some reason 4 of the spots for the past few weeks, have been burried under this pile of dirt/gravel amd when the lots fill up, you have to make do.

so apparently not showing your parking permit here at my school results in a 60 dollar parking ticket. and doing donuts or other hooligan type shit means a 300 dollar ticket and you get your permit suspended for a month.

That's dumb, I mean I don't know why you would be doing doughnuts in the school parking lot, but not showing your permit, daymn. That parking lot damn near better give my undercarrage a wash while I'm inside if they're so damn proud of it.

and double parking is 30 bucks. but the funny thing is that even the staff can get tickets too. my spanish teacher double parked and forgot her permit as well so she paid a pretty hefty ticket xD

I'd go rent a u haul truck, and take up as many spots as you can, then go take it back at the end of the day. Who had the truck? Who knows!

M8, you need to just get all the junkmobiles you can, remove the plates and vin numbers and begin your epic parking spot monopoly!
