you'll realize how bad of a choice that is once you graduate and are trying to pay off your student loans...

we're not trying to hate, we're just trying to give you some advice.

one of my friends has $175k in student loans. she's paying $1,400 a month and she'll be paying that for the next 25 years... that's not something you want to do.

oh no no no, i know what you guys mean. but these aren't loan money that i'm using; i know much better than to do that since my own cousin is 200k down in debt (he's a dentist, i'm pretty sure he can pay it off soon). it's basically all the extra FREE FA i have after books/rent/other isht. i'm not that stupid. if i wasn't using the extra for my car, i'd be wasting it on cigarettes and other stupid isht.

so i'm good for now

Great job!

Thanks, E! I'm actually curious if the new piping actually opened up the air flow enough to give the car a little juice. Seemed like it helped a 'bit from the butt dyno, but once I bring the car into the tuner, I'm sure I'll see for sure.

I'm not completely done yet (even though I said I would be after the body kit). Good thing is, looks like it's just 1 "possible" aftermarket and a few "Steve" OEM mods from me being 100% done...I think...LOL.

Either way, it's not top priority right now though. The exhaust had been planned months back. Just never really had the time to do it.

For about 30 minutes goin' to the Grove. After that, it was all down hill again. Maybe when my car is back from the dealership, it will go away with the recall pipes installed. Then again, I'm pretty sure it has to go back to have the tuning finished. I should do that this weekend...hmmmm...Mini meet anyone?

Thanks, yo! Haven't seen you around the boards lately (then again, I have been a little MIA for the past few months). Few more mods and I'm done...maybe...

Only thing is, they're $$$ mods through Steve and I've been holding back for a while now.

But for the Fiat.

That's messed up, MJ (funny tho). Besides, we could do that, but I doubt that the shop will be open "early" anyway.
