Nice, I wanna see. Riding the gixxer? I was really tempted to find a used GSX-R750, but I'm holding off for now.

You know what your mom would appreciate more? Huh? Do you? Any guesses?

Maybe if instead of cleaning the house you got a f***ing job. Banks don't take chores as payment. Get a f***ing job and either help your mother with buying a car or buy your own car! Jesus f***ing imaginary christ!
Teeehee. Imaginary.

I know that banks don't take chores as payment, but my mother does. I will work around the house for a bit whilst looking for a job. My mom is gonna look into how much insurance would be on an A4 and she said she'd call the dealer up and see how much interest would be and all that and if it works out to our advantage, she'll get it. Once I get a job, I will start paying for it. I know I have to get a job so I am gonna start trying a lot harder to find one. I'm gonna do what Christian said and start actually talking to managers and such. Maybe talk to a few friends that have jobs and see if the place they work at needs any help and maybe talk to their manager too.

You have been whining about your WANT for a car for months now. MONTHS! If you really wanted a car that badly you would be doing everything in your power to scrape money together instead of relentlessly bugging your parents to buy you a vehicle. Seriously, get your priorities in line and get a freaking job. Buy a car. Stop hassling parents.

You don't even know what kind of car you want. It changes every time you see something flashy on Craigslist.

Doing alright. I'd be better if my new remote was here today and if I could find a new wallpaper. Then I could feel like I accomplished something tonight.

While that is true, I am setting my mind to get this A4...unless of course someone buys it before I do...then I'll just fault on something else, but unless that happens, I WILL do everything possible to get that A4. This weekend, I'm gonna run out to the mall and put in a few applications and talk to the managers if they aren't busy. I know I have been saying "I want" recently and I'm sorry that I have been a pain in the butt about it but I really need to get my sh*t straight and get a job.

Found one. What do you guys think? I'm slightly iffy on it still. This is just a thumbnail (it's a large file) so click on it to actually see the desktop. You should be able to zoom in more once you click as well.

I'll see if they have any for sale down here. If they do, they're probably expensive as hell. I like the look of this A4 and it has good power for a teenager. It's enough to get me going but not too much to make me stupid.

One of the things I really like about linux. All that crap prints on the screen automagically. It's nice to not have to dig through programs for useful information. If only it were that easy on windows...

Just FYI, that's an '84 to '87 Audi Coupe GT.

My buddy drives one, and it is one of my favorite, if not my very favorite FWD cars of all time. It's a 5 cylinder BEAST!

This is true. The only complications with Ubuntu come when you try to use either brand new hardware, some extremely old hardware or really rare hardware (some scanners, etc). I set it up on one of my family's old PCs (old P3 I think). Ubuntu has come a long way in becoming user-friendly. If you're going to try it, I'd recommend waiting about a month until the new release comes out near the end of April.

The best part of the various distributions of linux is that they're free. You can pick up a used PC with no windows key and install linux and be up and running. That, and no viruses. Browse worry-free without any antivirus software installed. I just started using Ubuntu about a year ago and I now have it on all four of my computers and even though I have windows installed on two of them (dual boot), I spend less than 5% of my time in windows.

If you do try it, the Ubuntu forums are a lifesaver. I've been helped out so many times there I lost count. Especially when I was first starting out (but my setup is a bit more complex than most).
