    No I got my GED. (Here come's the laugh at James part) Because I wanted to get into computers and I couldn't sit in class and learn about some subject I do not want to learn about. So, that's why I go to ITT Tech.

    Well done. By the way, you may notice that when you actually use punctuation and complete spelling that you don't sound fucking absurd any more. There's very little reason to need to laugh at you at this point.

    Be careful with the tint if you want to keep it legal, especially in SoCal.
    I've heard they are real pricks about tinting there, at least they were decades ago when I lived there as a kid. check and see what the legal tint % is in your area.
    Nice truck BTW. You should think about doing the black on white theme. I was always partial to that but white is such a PITA to keep clean, which is why I went with Silver. I didn't see if you answered if it's a Prerunner (2wd) or 4x4?

    EDIT: And please please please when you get a chance, go have an In-N-Out burger for me. God do I miss that place :(

    There is no legal aftermarket tint level other than clear in California on the front windows or the windshield (other than a 4" strip at the top of the windshield). Any tint can get you a ticket.

    I like the "I'm pregnant" question.
    There have been women here in VA who have tried to pull that card. Hasn't worked as far as I've heard.
    That's a bummer about the tint being so harsh. Too many drive-by shootings I guess.

    It was explained to me that the problem is tint film affects the safety glass. In a normal crash, the window (including those with factory tint) is designed to shatter in many small pieces. With tint film, it holds the glass pieces together making larger pieces that are more likely to cut.

    They do when your birthday is late in the year. I was 17 through my second 'term' in college, but I also started in the summer quarter.

    Not to mention, lots of those smarty-pants HS kids (like my brother) do a few junior college courses in the summer when HS is too boring.
