i like that blue one that sonicsuby posted up, its close too in carmichael. not sure about the custom headers part....
i also have been looking at RsMonkey's car. although im not too sure about that one either. it has been modded and he doesnt know about the mileage since he put the sti cluster in. he thinks its around 115k and he hasnt done the headgaskets yet....here is picture though http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...i/DSC_0194.jpg
and even if i could afford an sti, i wouldnt want it. i like my chassis more.

He can use it for expenses with getting a place out of the dorms or with other expenses when he starts working in whatever field he wants.

Any opinions on a safe investment with a higher yield then a CD? I've been looking into it a little, but not sure what to do with the a chunk of money I'd like to invest.

mashpro: Sorry I forgot to mention this earlier, ING Direct has a really basic investing intro here and you can also find some more in depth tutorials at cbs.marketwatch.com and www.nyse.com.
It pays to have some cash laying around when an opportunity presents itself.

some money is fine, like if you are saving for a house... saving for a car.... I see the point in saving in means to buy something, but I have these 80+ year old grand aunts that have MILLIONS in their banks and will NEVER spend it... they live in a ok at best hour, drive beater cars their entire life... don't give their kids any money... and one of them died just recently, it's pointless
