Threw a rod in my Ka, knew about the sr. My aunt took out a loan for me, and she basically paid it back to. I think im supposed to wait to pay her back till I get out of college in like 4 years. Oh well

30 hours OT on one check w/ withheld taxes claiming 9 exemptions + 3 bi-weekly paid checks w/ OT saved up minus bills (i hate rent & ins!), out of state registration and smog before the swap which it still didn't pass and cost another arm, all while riding the bus (KA was shot to hell), living of my GF and I still had to use her CC for the other $2K on parts for the motor, AND IT'S STILL BASICALLY STOCK!!! This is gonna be an expensive project. But it'll be worth it in the end. It was when I first drove the car with the swap. Now I want more!!! Muhahahhahaha

Now as long as I can pay off this high CC bill every month and still get new parts...

P.S. and my girl is still jealous and pissed of how much I spent and planning on spending.

I bought a CA, but same difference. I teach swim lessons and lifeguard in the summer, and help teach school biology the rest of the year (I'm not a teacher, it's some unique UCI program). Plus no interest credit cards aren't a bad gig--if you can pay for them later.

Heehh that's the route I'm going....kinda good seens how my tutition has already been paid for....so all that money I get is pocket money and plus I'm working a 1st shift job too....Night college is definately the way to go....only problem I'm having is my course is still waiting for approval because my school didn't update their system until this past november. When it does get approved (and it will, just a matter of time) I'm gonna have a nice fat check to play with.
