    Ill be in debt for sure, can't really avoid it...
    I can't even find a decent job in my town because the oilfield runs the local economy, so that doesn't help. I'm pretty sure one of my cousins is up in Laramie going to school, but he got resident tuition because his grandpa owns a business in Casper.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Looks like it is pretty good advertising too. I actually like it, looks like it would be nice if my truck wasn't already pretty beat up

    oh yeah in a heart beat. The 2jz was one of the best motors in history..if not the best gas motor ever.

    turbo kits all around for the frs though. When done right they are pretty sweet. But yeah, more along the mr2 thought from toyota.

    mesa..is in CO..isn't that out of state too?

    Yes, its for biking.

    Correct, but it’s closer to home/ all the fun places and I could of used the Wue program and it woulda been about the same. I could use it in Wyoming also, which also has a school closeish to Home, I just didn’t look into it.

    CMU is a good school. Was my second choice when I was looking at colleges. It's a shame they don't have your degree. Only downside is Grand Junction isn't that nice of a town imo.

    They also use em for longboard surfboards around Socal. So they don't get wax on the tail gate or smash the fiberglass. A little much for me, but looks dam legit for bikes.

    That’s such a California thing... LOL

    I picked up some 2nd Gen leaf springs for free off CL to make a giant ballista for an engineering project I had, and the dude was from Santa Cruz. He and every other truck in that city had a surf rack.

    Speaking of such California things... traffic!

    It is, I don't know why they need to spend the money for that when a towel and a tie down work pretty dam efficiently, maybe they ride bikes?

    The kid in me still wants a 2nd gen MR2 turbo. The practical dad in me realizes I'll never have that car.

    Search for jobs outside of your area. I started working from home (company based in texas/georgia) and now run a team of guys I hired from my college.

    1st gen related ordered rotors pads, a new window motor/guide and body mounts now that summer is here finally
