Whatever gets you money... lolz... I was originally a Mechanical engineer (Go cars go) but I switched for the sake of graduating on time (in 4 years) since my scholarship only lasts 4 years. I got advised to not take a course and it set me back 2 semesters... what can you do? Civil is much more easy on the brain too

Yeah I completely understand. I hate complex math so the engineering is not for me.

Cool, I'm going for mechanical engineering next year at UW Platteville. I was going to go to Milwaukee School of Engineering but the $34,000 a year tuition was a bit much and that was after an $11,000 academic scholarship.

+ on the engineers salary


A kid at my school just lowered his GTO an inch, it has a great stance now, much better than stock

Bradley with all expenses included, is about 34 as well.... but I got a few scholarships and a bit of aide to help me....

Also, I have taken some classes at a local community college and will take two more this summer, and its about 250 for a class, whereas Bradley is 2100 for a class over the summer/winter breaks... yes it is rape....

too bad GM screwed these cars up when they brought them over from the land of the Roo's, cause Kiwi is right, the Holden has a waaaaay nicer front end to them.

Surely you can overlook the front end... They make conversion kits... but for me... its almost like seeing a car that you dont think would be beefy, and they have 400hp from the factory with the ls2....

Looking they make a twin turbo kit that is about 7k and it will make over 900hp.... that is just *JIZZ IN MY PANTS* amazing
