r comps maybe even this summer :twisted:
40-45 hours at 10.50 an hour a week, plus my painting job 1-2 days a week means 400-600 bucks a week. Gotta take care of insurance, registration, my cell phone bill (144 freaking dollars), movies, food, and then 2 grand for spending money during the year. So ill have probably like 2-3 grand to spend on my car, that 2000 dollars is also (just in case) money because I am hoping to work 10-15 hours a week or maybe even 20 during school.
Oh and I didnt mean to sound like arrogant or anything about it, but I have learned to stop giving a shit what anyone says or rumors about weaknesses. I have seen what works on my friend's cars and from real people and the way I baby my car (pre-loading the drivetrain, not speeding on regular roads, doing burnouts and all that bullshit), hopefully the tranny will last a lot longer. Plus I only have 70k miles ont he tranny, most dsm trannies have 120k plus and thats almost on the low side.
