    I always pay cash for my vehicles but I am older and have enough monthly payments. Taking out a vehicle loan does build credit though.

    Talk to someone in financial aid/services at your school. There are certain options available to students, credit card wise, that you may not be aware of.

    I'd disagree. Get something on the cheaer side that you can pay for in cash from the start. Owning your car free and clear is a way better feeling. Also if something bad happens, its less likely to screw you over.

    Feeling better and credit are separate things.

    Maybe try getting a prepaid credit card and just buying small shit on it while keeping it always with more money then you spend. Not always the best way to do it because you're essentially throwing a little bit of money away each month, but its a cheap/safe way to do it that's great when you're unemployed and you can cancel it whenever. I'm sure there's other methods but that's just the one I was told to try which makes sense

    Prepaid do nothing for your credit score. Gift card essentially

    True, but what I meant is its safer. With how he bounces back and forth with working and not working,having car payments could be bad. I know if I lose my job while I have these school payments I'm going to be screwed. I can imagine Nick could face a similar issue if shit hit the fan

    Yeah it is a gift card essentially. All I know is they still take your SSN and all that crap so I'm sure if you mess it up it will show up. Not gonna try that method though since I already have my credit buster student loans to worry about

    Getting a couple magazine subscriptions is a good idea. It doesn't help your credit per say, but the magazines sell your info to credit services and they have a physical address. Offers (CC) will start being mailed to you.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Holy fuck like 5 pages happened. I'm busy over here like : :drunk::drunk::drunk::drunk: firing up 4 new virtual machines (yeah it's an addiction) and thinking it's time to replace my little i3-4130T... Other part of me says it's running the 16GB of RAM just fine don't fuck with it. :goingcrazy:

    Oh wait? I lost ya'll? Alright back on topic...

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....
    Taco swaybars can't be "quick detached" like a Yeep. Different design. The links will be all up in the spindles' business. Put heavier coils on and fuck that thing off. Or stop driving it like @kyle11863 drives his Brokebird.
    I'd even welcome the rain. Oregon was absolutely beautiful.

    But fuck them and their anti-gun. Literally. Fuck that.
    So true. I remember reading the long travel sticky long ago and they talk about how the shaking and shit breaks everything eventually your headlights fall apart, the visors fall off, doors rattle, these soft parts ain't made to take punishment like we do especially the speeddemons.
    Every time I hear the word "snowball" I think Clerks... :shutter:

    You'd be scared if you saw me typing. Most people at work accuse me of not actually typing anything I'm just aklshdfljhaskguhakjgnakjtgbiauedhrgiauehgkh to the keyboard.

    Very true. I've seen collapsed wheel wells from dual battery mods after serious wheeling as an example. And total chaos UCA's have punched holes through said wheel wells as well due to the exposed top of the UCA. Tacomas are great machines but they're not tanks. Some mid travel drivers wheel their rigs like they're king of the hammers status and that's no bueno.

    Clerks: A classic. :thumbsup:

    In the defense of the great Bruery, Hottenroth is something like 3.0%!

    Absolutely tasty and easy to drink and you can easily put it down all day and not even flinch.
