that usually means a truck of some sorts (ie; 10 ton straight truck).

besides, we all know no one drives big cars anymore. it's all little **** boxes or full size SUV's!

Good luck with the dual enrollment, I did that for a semester. Tip: make sure you write down which day you're at which school haha. I messed up 4 or 5 weeks into the semester and showed up at HCC on a day when I was supposed to be at USF!
HAHA! Not a bad idea.
I know some people going to USF.
If I end up over there, you should rent me a room.
I'm hoping to go to UCF after I get my AS. Does USF offer a business degree?

USF offers a degree for everything. Very good school. Only reason I am stopping with my AA is because my gr's parents are moving and when we move in together in a few months I need to be the bread winner, which means I'll be pulling 50hrs a week at my dad's plastic shop. UCF is a good school too, only complaint I hear from my friends who go there is that they don't care for the tourists in Orlando and some of the areas in Orlando you have to keep your windows rolled up, but what town doesn't have that area? Lol.

I hear that. I have a couple good friends that go to UCF, too. They said it's a great school, but the tourism is annoying. The thing I like about UCF most is it's a 30 minute drive from my house, so I can stay home.

That makes everything so much easier. Lot of people go off to a school far away like FSU and after a semester or a year they're back home going to a closer one from being overwhelmed/homesick.

Oh and funny thing about your username- a buddy of mine just got his first bike today and its a CBR. 1995 600 f3.

Yeah, I don't want to move away from family quite yet, lol.

CBR600 F3? I hope he enjoys it. When I get a bike it'll be either a CBR600RR or an F4i.
Not sure, but definitely a 600 Honda.

UCF is a huge University! 40,000 undergraduates I believe.

yeah... my friend isn't the brightest girl in the world.. Michigan State has 36,000 undergrads and 10,000 graduate students on campus not to mention the campus in Dubai or online graduates.... i'm going to be attending a university with about 8,000 total and is 20 minutes from my house.. much better in my head

20 minutes isn'tt bad at all.

Okay, a while back I noticed a leak in the rear of the truck. I spent quite some time vacuuming it up, and trying to trace it.
Well, it was coming in from my third brake light. I took the light off after a wash, and sure enough I saw some water sitting on the paint. It was dripping in, going down behind the plastic, and soaking the carpet. So, I put silicone on the backside of the light, in the screw holes, and around a factory hole that had no use. Sunday, it rained like mad! And... no more leak! I won this round.

I also ordered 2 new tires from Tire Rack. They should be in by Wednesday, so I'm going to try and go to my old school, and see if the Auto Tech teacher will allow me to mount and balance the new tires.
