Yeah im at school up at Clemson and live in Hilton Head so Columbia is on the way up. I got a lot of friends at school at USC and im there a good bit so i might hit you up when im in the area.
Are you going to Kevin's (imonlykidden) thing on the 23? Dont know when the last time you checked it but they got a go kart track rented out and everyone is crashing at their place. Also have Motordyne testing their new XYZ pipe at the dyno at Cin Motorsports.

What are you in school for at Clemson? I'm interested in their Health Physics Program, do you know anything about it?

I am now just ready to turn 19 and my list is
95 Berreta Z26 -worked all summer when i was 16 to pay for it for my junior year
01 Eclipse GT-worked all last year in school and summer and sold my berreta and was given $1500 from my father to help pay for it. Got a good deal on it paid in full.
I'm in the market for a Z now and have about $2000 saved up from being a waiter at a very busy resturaunt. Living at home going to a branch campus for the first 2 years. Plan on selling my eclipse and financing the rest (10k or so) on a Z for 4 years with my waiter job.
In no way did i pay for everything my self but i sure as hell worked my *** off and saved as much money as i could to pay for my eclipse completley and now i will be working for 4 years to pay it off. I don't believe that teens should get everything handed to them but parents helping a little isn't the end of the world.

Not trying to be a dick here but I think your expecting well... the impossible out of teenagers.

-learning how to function responsibly in an adult world
-1998 Ford Taurus
-Not moved out, if still in school. But should be working & paying their way as much as possible (ie. car insurance & maintenance, helping out with household chores, doing their own laundry,etc)
Giving things to teens is not being a responsible parent.

Acutally, giving a teen more than normal responsibilities allows and helps them to grow up. For example.. and, I'm not trying to brag.. I'm 21 and I OWN a 2002 dodge ram 1500. I pay for an 07 tC, and an 08 Z. That doesn't include my rent, power, water, gas and all other expenses. And, I think I owe most of that to my mom for the huge amounts of responsibilities she's held me up to. Never a new car, but.. it's close enough.

Okay, now that I've posted.. & don't know how to delete. I've felt that I've already given way too much information on this. Is it possible to delete this? Please help.

+1, but truth of the matter is that most 19Y/O F I know like men like this. But, "..to each - their own."
