    I would hate to have 60+years of life left after the "best" years of my life. if college is the best 4+ years, you're doing something wrong.

    Meh. Why not enjoy yourself while you can. You have probably the fewest financial and social obligations you'll ever have in college

    tis all about proportions. I may have a lot more financial obligations now, but my income to bills/cost of living ratio is WAY better than it was in college. I also have a lot more free time now. and I'm not sure what you mean by social obligations.....

    bingo.

    my family helped me through school more than I could have ever asked for, but it was far from covering everything. working a full time job and starting overland off-road was by necessity, not just because I felt like it. if I were all set, monetarily, in college, I wouldn't have worked a single day.

    It's different for everyone. I came right out of HS into College, got some scholarships that covered my tuition which freed up a lot of extra cash.

    that's why I moved into a house as soon as they let me live off campus. when I finished schoolwork or my hourly job, I could go home and get an hour or two of fabrication in each night. and even more on the weekends, since my job ended at 5 pm.

    Thinking I might add some color to the underside of the truck by painting the traction bar and skids some sort of bright color. Thoughts?

    Hot pink? :D

    When my dad was a carpenter back in the day he would paint the handles of his tools pink so they wouldn't walk away.

    um... no
