I definately understand Renegade. My wife has been unemployed since the end og January. Money has been very tight and on top of that I just got to pay $5100 in federal taxes just because they thought I wasn't broke enough.

Nah, keep up what you are doing with school. If you can swing it any way possible, go to some sort of college, even if it is Thomas Nelson or Tidewater. I read an article on cnn.com today that had the "value" of a college degree. It will make you about a million dollars richer over your lifetime. That could help out your parents far more in the long run, trust me.

I am actually pretty amazed at how well things sell on ebay. I sell all sorts of crap that I can't imagine anyone wants. These are the things I have listed right now:

Can you imagine that someone really wants this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7968384786

That came out of a box of "junk" that someone at work gave me when his son sold a first gen. I have sold about $200 out of that box of junk.

I agree with Calvin. School is cool. Get some education in a field you're interested in. Even if you don't get a degree you may be able to get a decent job. That's how I got to where I am now......

You could go to Norfolk Naval Shipyard's apprentice program....they pay for a college degree and pay you to work. Benefits are great too. Ask Calvin, he works for the gov't, just a different branch.

Well no matter what, I will tell you the easiest way to make a good life for yourself is to take advantage of as much education as you can get as early as possible.....

I fixed my antenna today from AutoZone 6.99 special. Works good and looks decent too.

BTW, Gran Turismo 4 is the most kick *** racing game on the planet. My '02 RX 7 is kickin some serious ***.

Calvin, can you tell me where the front struts are supposed to be set at? My right front tire is worn very badly on the inside, and I think when I put the new Strut in, I may have put it in wrong. Where is the cap supposed to be in relation to the hole?

Brian,
Did you get the front end realigned after swapping out the strut? If not that is probably your tire wear issue.
