Hey guys,

I've come to a rather bittersweet realization through the course of my college admissions season.

I will not be getting an rx-8 for at least the next few years for the simple reason that I'll be attending Berkeley - where parking is INSANE, and the BART system is amazing, and the education is second to none (especially for engineering).

I've picked up a ton of tips/advice from this forum, but will probably not return for some time. I will, however, continue to offer daily sacrifices to the rotary god

Again, thank you to everyone who ever helped me out, or those whose threads I mysteriously prowled around in - you have helped me grow as an individual - as well as as a consumer

Onward to college!

 

Good luck.

 

congrats and good luck.

maybe they'll even have an rx with an engine that actually has 238hp.

 

The RX-8 is really not a practical car for a college student. Especially in Berkeley. I went there from 92-96.

Realistically, get something cheap that you don't really care about because it will subjected to a lot of abuse. Parking sucks so be prepared for scratched and dinged bumpers. Also, there are a lot of trees which you'll have to park under. Sap is not your friend.

Get a hatchback, because you'll want something that will be able to haul stuff too. You'll make a lot of friends that way. But whatever you do, DO NOT GET A TRUCK. You'll have people calling all the time to move stuff.

GO BEARS!

 

I better see you at the CAL games!!

 

My sister wants to go to Berkley. Good luck man!

 

transit is great.

 

Mass transit, how cool, I wish we had that...

Have a good time and congrats on getting into a good school.

 

Good luck! Study hard.

 

You go to Berzerkly, my condolences.

 

Good luck! And punch a hippie for me!

 

say hello to William Hung for us!!!

 

My cuz goes to Berkeley. I went to sister school in LA. I come from a UC family. Have fun!
