When I first saw that logo in someone else's sig I figured it was Kane's doing, but now I have proof

I get the LOL part, just couldn't figure out why you were laughing @ Kane's logo.
Didn't know if you were laughing at the logo, if you knew the meaning behind it (kane posted it a while back) or if you were just razzin' Kane

I mean I know what I have to do, I just hate waiting and saving up like 5g's, plus you have to remember i want to do all this stuff and i JUST bought the car ........ and still making $400 a month payments =/
Good for you, man, doing the college thing! You are going to be so much better able to afford to mod your 8 (or whatever you have when you get a good job) because of it.

I find this "mod bug" has gotten a hold of me and probably some others here and it's hard to stop. I've been depressed a few times looking at the awesome rims and other parts that some of you guys have and I wish I had. But that's such a negative spiral. It's not a competition and we just gotta do what makes us happy without comparing to others. And lotsa people here have kept their 8's completely stock and are loving it.

So I just wanted to say kudos for getting a higher education and wish you luck in the future.

It's really not that hard. If you go on Yahoo Groups, they have groups or clubs that show you how. Apparently, even if you are below average size, you can push your head and neck against a wall on one side and push your butt/back against something like a staircase. Just keep fricking pushing like mad hell from both sides and your mouth should be able to reach.

HEHE - yeah - I thought that was a nice touch...

Remember - Sex is like oxygen; it is no big deal unless you are not getting any!

Jedi - can you imagine what kind of hero you wold be if you got pics of Flaming a Xfire; literally.

word of advice.. you're young don't waste any time or money with this stuff until after you've achieved a successful career.

I did. I went to jr college, then transferred, earned my four-year degree (BFA), paid no attention to costly hobbies, just focused on getting out of school and starting my career. Now I'm 37, I have 11 years of experience in the software biz and earn a cozy six figure salary. Save and invest your savings, make more money and re-invest. That 30k car over 5 years would cost you so much more than you realize. I have enough assets to retire comfortably right now. I plan to retire in 2 years when my options vest...

The amazing thing is that I don't think I am an extraordinary person in any way.. I am not particularly smart (c average in high school, b average in college), nor do come from a rich upbringing (I still live in middle class suburbs here in southern california since I was 5 years old). All I did was start a career in IT, and invested most what I made, rather than blow it on toys, cars and chicks... (Not that I'm a loner, I am getting married this year). Just find things to do that are fun and cheap or free. And try to save wherever you can. America is a free market, so use your freedom to find cheaper alternatives to things you need. Most of all, moderation is key. I could have bought a Ford GT with one of my stock sales, but instead I reinvested it and that same money could now buy me three of them.

I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I tend to because I smile when I think how simple it is, yet so many people squander their opportunities to enjoy 'now' rather than later. If Steve Jobs decided to get himself that hotrod over buying supplies for his computer biz, he probably wouldn't be where he is today.

Squidward says> am 37 and getting married this year

I say>> what's wrong with u son?
That's kinda OLD to start a family/get married. UNLESS this is your third/fourth marriage. LOL or ur marring a spring chick.
Think about it, when your 12 year old son wants to play ball u will be 49. u wont be able to the "fun"

I think Squid is doing it the right way. He's not going to get married or start a family until he's ready financially and emotionally.

Also, the western world is changing. We're not farming-minded anymore but rather career-minded. Too many people still get married way too early and end up divorced and having kids for the wrong reason. It's ok to have kids even at 50, as long as your wife is 26.
