Im going with Army National Guardand yeah, MEPS makes you jump through hoops. I had to find a bunch of old medical records, and re-create some old lost files to show that i am 100% healthy

ITcar

Im doing ROTC if everything goes as planned...i submitted the MEPS pre-screen this morning, so hopefully i will know by friday if i get to do the in person MEPS stuff. Oh and cross your fingers for me that the girl at MEPS now with the last slot for flight ops gets DQ'ed...cause i want it so bad!!!!...

ITcar

^ mine was two-toned has been painted...so both are clear coated, but i can still feel a difference

ITcar

i was confused as to why it just finally reached 40 for you...then i remembered that i live in an expensive area for gas, plus i have to fill with premium its costing me about 48 right now

ITcar

^ are you sure about that? I thought that the painted was a primed piece different than the cladding from the factory, because i can actually feel a difference of texture slightly between the cladding and the regular

ITcar

i will be outta here the second i graudate...its become such a downer state!!! where exactly are you living? Im in okemos and i would say i havent had any problems, but someone in my apartment complex got robbed at gunpoint two weeks ago :/it was a real wake up call...i carry tear gas on my keychain...

ITcar

i had mine painted last summer and it has held up fabulous, even better than my boyfriends recently repainted bumper (meant to be painted, unlike the cladding)not only has it not chipped or anything, but when it was hit in a parking lot (*tear*) it obviously had scratches, but it didnt crack or have...

ITcar

ITcar

ITcar

ITcar

ITcar

ITcar

holy im about to poop myself did the vibes not come with pinstriping??!?! im soooo confused cause my car has it...lo!

ITcar

cant exactly give you advice about moving or to sell/not to sell, thats something you guys will have to decide but i can tell you selling a moded car, you are a lot less likely to get as much as you can stock because:1. many people wont like your taste in mods, and wont want to pay for something the...

ITcar

i rarely do, only because by the time i get there im already at more than 80mph

ITcar

imo, only a LAMBO should have LAMBO doors

ITcar

thanks

ITcar

newb question, do the struts lower the car anymore than the springs? or does it just smooth out the ride from the aftermarket springs?

ITcar

did anything ever come of this? i was curious myself, particularly how hard it would be for us non-upholsterers lol

ITcar

what i find is that the lift only makes a difference if you are neck and neck. There is no way in hell he would have made up three car lengths.

ITcar

i loved my cavy, it did great in the winters too for a FWD. i hate the vibe, it sucks so much worse in snow and ice compared to any other fwd car i have been in. I dont know why the difference, oh wells

ITcar

lol, ya he normally puts winters on the car, but didnt this year. i guess he learned his lesson with 18's in michigan during the winter....it doesnt work well sublime, they were flik arctics, lol

ITcar

haha, my turn!i went to autozone and needed a part for my old car looked up. i happened to have the one year of production that they made a 2.3L (all the rest were 2.4) and i told him that and he tried to tell me they didnt exist. I was like you want to make a bet? and he kinda blew me off because i...

ITcar

thats rough.my boyfriend hit a pothole the other day and literally CRACKED his rim 3/4 of the way around the middle. He found out the next day at the shop that he ripped his cv boot and bent the axle too. That was on 96 just before the okemos exit...screw michigan roads!

ITcar

its the ides of march for me

ITcar

oh we get emails automatically through the schools email system. We got one not too long after VT from the prez herself.

ITcar

ugh, im sick of it too.its cool though, because of VT my school created an emergency text message system. Last time we had nasty weather i got a text message from the system about tornado warnings and since i dont have tv, i never would have known. It was pretty sweet.

i have a feeling he didnt hear it coming because it was probably moving pretty darn fast, i dont think he would have had time to react even if he did realize it was coming at him

im having similar problems with my mom right now, i debadged and did overlays and she told me not to do anything else. i guess those springs i just bought have to be put on hold...? my situation was more of a misunderstanding though, i was under the impression that the car was mine...and i guess she...

ITcar

sadly a lot of it is about greed too, if someone can find a way to make money out of a situation, they will.

ITcar

by law we have to take drivers ed classes twice, 6 months apart in time. also, once we get our license, there is a midnight curfew, and if you get any ticket or in any accident that curfew is extended even longer
