education right now will make you the big $$$ for the future. wait it out~ the ends does justify the means in that kind of a situation.. look for better paying jobs. restaraunt jobs are really good paying (making almost $100 a night in tips average) if you work a full shift as a server. it takes a while to get to that position, but the work is well worth the $$$

I need to post some pictures of my Unicorn. I only have a few. I am getting ready to do the front 01 bumper and lights. Have you put an LSD rear diff in yet?

the rear lsd is on my list of things to do.. i need to replace a wheel bearing before anything else happens. then eventually my tranny and rear dif.

then maybe i can update my front end
