What's your interest rate?

My wife already went through nursing school. She's working on her Masters Degree right now to be a Nurse Practitioner. I wish it were that cheap for a Masters Degree but the benefit in the end is DEFINITELY worth it. :mike

For everyone looking to go back to school on the cheap, I offer free PH.Ds in Cynicism, Intransigence, and Forming Your Own Damn Opinion Based on Your Own Observational and Reasoning Skills Instead of Being Told What to Think (along with supporting courses in Developing and Improving your Own Observational, Reasoning, and Analytical Skills and Using Them Effectively (i.e Not Being a Dumbass).
I recommend the full course set, as these skills are all inter-related and build upon each-other in powerful ways.

I like the C7's arse-end just fine with the very significant exception of the crying-eyes-tattoo vents. They throw the whole thing off. I know they're functional, but making them that shape and non-body-color makes them really jarring.

Thats a full work load. What is the rate of employment after graduating from your program after 6 months? Are your former students content in their new positions? Will your courses adequately prepare me for the inevitable zombie apocalypse? I don't see a course about applying your new knowledge to become a leader in stressful situations. I don't want to crack under pressure.

I understand common side effects of that curriculum includse a well conditioned middle finger and the urge to buy an old Lincoln.... ;)

I would buy a 2014 Subaru BRZ and a bottle of Fireball for Andy Palmer to assist him with his midlife crisis.

Not a fun car to drive, it feels heavy and missing about 100 hp compared to other things in the same price/style range such as the S6, E63, XF SC and CTS-V. Infiniti of Scottsdale let me have a black one on a pink loan sheet for a weekend before I bought the Jag I didn't even keep it for a day and it was free... for the weekend.

I'm with Looney on this but I would spent 20k of it on a 60k mile 1999-2001 911 996 vert and the other $6,765 on the best $1,500 Miata on craigslist and a FM II Hydra Kit from Flying Miata. :bigthumb:

Reminds me of a quote my friend told me (also applicable to Brian):
Hookers/sluts are kinda like a big ol bag of chips in church. Every guy is staring at you in disgust, but deep down inside, he's still jealous.

Yes but... my daily driver does 0-60 near as makes no difference in 4 seconds and goes off the 185 mph speedo with pleny of 6th gear left but not enough aero to exploit it. I'm already driving a car that can embarrass most 911's in most situations. So my purpose in buying a Porsche is the fantastic steering feel and the top down experience not speed so the 3.6 doesn't add enough volume vs cost/miles to the 3.4 in the same wrapper.

I would get the best condition convertible 99-01 here in AZ the sun really takes the life out of leather unless you keep it covered and conditioned. A low miles (60k) 1999 with the extra leather package (rear seat middle/door/dash) in great condition would be a better choice for me then a 2002-2004 with a interior in poor condition.
