thats right... who's laughing now.... then the laugh stopped after the alternator shattered on the coldest day in winter.... on the highway too !!!!!
shattering alternators really pulled the car to a stop real fast...
sounded really bad too......



anyways, enjoy ur car and warm it up in the winters

I didn't expect much, i was already happy I got accepted since you know I had worked so hard these last years, but two days ago [first day of college] I told my father if he could give me a ride there but he was like "no", to do it myself, he came out and gave me keys, and yea thats how it went :]

What happened in basic? You obviously didn't go further.

I lasted 4 1/2 years....even reinlisted once! My body decided to have a seizure on active duty and back in '92/'93 they had that Early Out program. Well, I was an E-4, a dime a dozen......I was put on TDRL (Temp. Disability Retirement List) and about a year later was called back to active duty for a medical re-evaluation.

The whole eval lasted 5 minutes. Doc says he doesn't see why I shouldn't be allowed back in. He recommends it. Less than 30 days later I get a package from Randolph AFB in Texas.....I was denied. Got $8K and that was the end of my military career.

Most importantly congratulations for getting accepted to an excellent school. If I had a kid and I could afford it I'd get him a silly car also, so good on your parents for giving you the things you want and deserve.

Three things that will get you through college with your life and your car.

1. No matter how 'straight' you feel, never ever drive the car after you've been drinking. Not even after a sip, better safe than sorry.

2. The car looks fast, magazines say the car is fast, you aren't doing anyone any favors by trying to prove anybody right or wrong. Besides if you're going too fast the girls can't see you flossin'

3. Don't let anyone drive your car, as close as you may feel to the people you associate with in college, no one is that close of a friend. You don't know him/her regardless of how many "I love you man's" or "we're totally gonna graduate and get a place together and be friends forever" you share after a bender.

Other than that, demonstrate the same intelligence and responsibility that got you into BC and you should be just fine. Congrats again!

GO NOLES!!! Always hated playing BC....

Congrats on BC, no alcohol while driving, drive slow... so the ladies can see the killer ride, and post some pic's.

That's a lot of power for a 17yro to handle no offense. You'll get the adrenaline for speed and you'll love it because 300hp+ car isn't no ******* joke. That's like hopping on a 1000c bike before starting out on a dirt bike or 250c.

Good luck and be careful because a lot of people have accidents with their first car.

Best advice by far...
