Ironic the same exact thing happened to me this morning. Woke up at 7:00 and needed to be at work at 8:00 and I live an easy 40-60 minuets away depended on how that tallahassee traffic that you love is.

Since it's the V6 I won't say it's badazz (I think it is) but it sure looks badazz
I just can't stop looking at it. I might need professional help.
And I think my bike might be getting a little jealous.
Welcome!

If you think its badazz then it is.

AHHHHHH, computers are so expensive. I need a new laptop for school, my current laptop is huge and weighs about 10 lbs. It works great and I like it, but it is just too damn heavy. My work provides an interest free loan for computers, so I might take them up on that offer.
Definitely take that deal. If there's one thing that's been drilled into our heads in all these accounting classes, it's that no one but MAYBE your family will loan you money interest free. So when you can get an interest free loan, TAKE IT!

Been thinking of buying my Xbox One that way. Best buy will give me the interest free financing assuming I pay it off in the time frame. Even if I have the money in cash it's worth it to use their card.

I don't know about yours, but My Ruby is for sure bad azz! LOL just kidding. All Camaros are bad azz.

I sooooooooooo do not miss the days of thinking about this degree or that one. Every once in awhile at work something will come up & someone will ask me why don't I go back & get licensed and I tell them: "Okay so I take on-line or evening classes & maybe in 2-3 years get a second master's. Then a year or two to get the hours of superision post the degree needed to get lisenced and I'd get maybe a year after that with probably no pay increase, then retire.................................you're funny".

One thing for sure, the one thing they can never take away from you is your education. But it is a pain in the butt & costly if it is really not going to benefit your career path. I never regreted my education for a minute but I DO NOT want to go back. Good luck in your educational planning & achiement young folks!

I'd definitely do it. If you already have the cash for it, just save it and pay it off within the timeframe so you don't get charged interest. Free money and get to build a bit of credit.

Yeah I need to build my credit up. I've always been a I only buy it if I can pay in full lol. Might go try to find a computer to finance, thinking the new Mac Pro. My laptop is 250GB and it's full lol and is from 2008... it's falling apart.

On the other note, my car shop guy called me and advised me against adding the resonated xpipe with the headers. So I told him not to install it since I go with his judgement.

And since I don't have my car I went shooting today. Shot 300 rounds through my XDs and

155gr Fiocchi .45 ACP - 50 rounds no jams no misfires (love this ammo, perfectly smooth)
230gr American Eagle .45 Auto - 50 - 1 jam
230gr Winchester .45 Auto - 200 - lots of jams, utter grabage ammo, bought at walmart. Never buying there again...

Maybe it's picky and only likes ACP but it can shoot Auto but doesn't like it very much. So only feeding it ACP from now on.

Also rented my next pistol purchase a Kahr P380, amazing gun even accurate at 30ft, whereas my XDs is inaccurate as crap at that distance.

Also rented a fullsize HK .45 with suppressor. AMAZING!! This was so ba, and super scary accurate even at 75ft! Super fun.

All in all a goooood day!

Did he say why he didn't recommend the x-pipe?

I had a buddy take me paintballing with him 2 weeks ago and I think I have now found my next hobby. I've already begun researching paintball guns and equipment . I don't know if that's a good thing but hey at least it's cheaper than car modding

Only conceivable reason is that he's never heard that setup on this car. It's awful.

He basically said it wouldn't be that much help and would only tone the car down. He related it to I would pick the car up and probably ask why the car is quieter now. Also said that the h pipe already on the car does the job fine and the drone/rasp wouldn't change all that much anyways.

Yeah I saw your paintball post lol yeah I've been wanting to get into shooting more and more and it's just as expensive. Bought $100 of ammo yesterday and already went through all of it, plus range fees, etc. :(

Why do we like expensive hobbies?

I can tell you from experience that's far from true. So can everyone else who's done it.

Drone and rasp will be terrible. Yes, you lose a lot of volume with the XPipe.

I've made the analogy before : would you rather listen to Disturbed at 70% volume or Cold play at 100%? Making a bad sound louder isn't good.
