this sadly is what happens when someone buy's your car for you...

i was both lucky, and unlucky in this department, my parents never bought me a car, i had to buy it on my own. the good side? well, i learned to take car of my car better because I spent the money on it, the bad side? i didn't drive until i was 19...

..Sometimes big dreams can be a long & hard road, but I'm sure if you really, really want a GN then you will have to work hard to reach your dreams. And `if you don't get there, then you really did not want it bad enough I've learned that U really got 2 give `up 2 get 4-Sure,
and then continue to give `up 2 keep, and then also have to remember to Give `up to give back : )

As long as your dream'in, your liv'in, so keep dream'in...

I luved my DelSol 4-Sure...I pretended it was a `Ferrari : )

WoW, we sure do sound like a Auto Family on 2days Blog : ) We do `share, cause we `care 4 our Family : )

Peace/Happines `Space

three letter solution.... JOB, lol. look at it this way, your monte is on the road, so as soon as you have your liscance you have transportation.... and if you are in jersy, you could probibly ride your bike to work anyways & save your paycheck for weekend crusin up here i dont have that option, lol. i mow lawns & maintain propertys currantly, its off the books income... in the last 3 months i raked in enuff to cover the years insurance on my monte ( $575 per 1/4 ) and have some left over for gas..... plus a lil pocket change, imma invest it in a plow truck so i can plow driveways & run firewood in the winter.... more $ in my pocket.... im sure you could find a simple retail job part- time thats close by... mabe not enuff for a turbo GNX, but who says you cannot mod a monte?.... whatever happens, always look for a better opertunity for a job, you would be surprised how much pocket change you can make out there

I agree with Ryan. Also check Unitrin Direct for insurance. I pay 456 every 6 months for full coverage. Cheaper than anyone else.

Taz 179 work days left.

How many hours are your taking @ school ?
Have your b/f buy your tires, or help `out : )
Wish you the best 4-Sure


I think I’m taking like 14 at the moment which is lame bcuz I’m taking a lot more then that bcuz I got chem lab which is 12:30 to 4:30 every Wednesday but of course they only count that as 1 hour. It’s so lame and doesn’t make any sense at all. Ha he was gonna have the paint fixed for me but his cobra just broke and its gonna cost him a couple hundred bucks to fix it. It’s kinda funny bcuz he is starting to hate that he has one of the fastest mustangs in the Pensacola area, which is crazy to me lol. But he did find the tires that I have on it now for only 80 bucks a piece at a place in town, I’m praying that he wasn’t lying to me just to calm me down lol.

LOVE the pic JAFO…most def made me laugh!

Tim, just to let ya know, I’m already saving up for one of those trunk lid panels =]

RJ, hope ya get better and by the way I love your sig pic!

Mike, thanks for the link! I am totally thinking about buying those or I might just get red decals made for mine. I don’t know what I wanna do but that’s good to know that those are out there for sale if I decide to go that way =]

Lou, only 9 months! That sounds terrible lol hopefully it will go fast

Jimbo, yeahh my parents bought my car too. My dad surprised me actually, I thought I was never gonna get one bcuz of how expensive they are but I’m bout to get a taste of that whenever I get established down here bcuz I’m gonna have to at least start paying for half of the car payment which is like 400 bucks a month =[ but it is soo worth it in my eyes =D

Pretty much I’ve been at school most of the day. Had chem. 10 to 11:15 then had an hour break and had lunch with blake (((my b/f))) and then went back to school at 12:30 and had class from 1 to 2:15 but ended up staying almost a half hour after class with my friend Rachel to talk to our honors counselor about our thesis we had to write. Fun fun fun! But this number that I didn’t recognize called me during class and I couldn’t answer it but I listened to the voice message after class and it was most def an emergency vet clinic calling me back about my job application that I dropped off there a week ago!!!! I was sooo excited! I gotta call them back tomorrow since by the time I got the message the girl who handles the employees was already gone but I’m soo totally stoked regardless =D this will really help me get on the right track to maybe open up my own vet clinic or marine mammal rescue center. I’m just praying that I don’t mess it up lol.

Woow my post is getting hella long so I’ll stop and just say hope everyone is having a great dayyy!!!!
