You made a thread about not being able to mod a car because of your current situation and lack of income. Its clear that you have other priorities that are more important than modding a car, so why make a thread about it? There are a lot of stock Zs on the forum, its really not a big deal. My advice get good grades, apply for scholarships, volunteer, get an internship, go to college etc. there are more important things in life than a car...

very smart Idea. If your going to college save your money. Insurance and gas will add up, and maybe invest it if you can. then when the dust settles you can build a monster.

I plan on doing all those things. I have a job and when I turn 18 I'm getting a better job. I have a 4.0 GPA. I got a 1720 on my SAT (taking it again to get 1800). I have a list of 5 colleges I'm applying to including Drexel, which has the best co-op (internship) program in the country. Most students make around 15k a summer with co-ops at Drexel. This is the kind of thing I wanted to here. Thank you very much.

Plus, I like hearing what other people have to say about some things.

I made more than that when I graduated and now I live in a $90k house. Sometimes things are better on paper.

No one has mentioned that you should just grow up.

Realistically you have not even started your life.

Act your age, drive safe, and do well in school.

Don't make stupid threads on the interwebz.

First, Google doesn't pay that well. Second, software engineering is being overrun by outsourced labor from India.

That is all.

Seriously, I'd like to know the answer to this too. Maybe he thought automatic would be just as fun then realized he regretted his decision every time one of his buddies asked "oh sweet dude is it stick shift" and he had to sigh and say no man.
