if your accepted in the u.c. system perhaps take alook at ucsd, or davis...berkeley would also be a good compromise between gaucho debauchery and banana slug hippiedom...

telling ya bro the ls400 is the only way to fly...cannot go wrong there...

[Slava]

I'm thinking about a 2nd masters with Multimedia and Creative technologies major. A lot could depend upon whether they want to fund me though. Just wonder about the possibilities in LA with that kind of a major.

UCSB Grad

If you go there, you'll have hot chicks everywhere, live in best city in California, and get to hear me play music a couple times a month. How can you beat that?

[TonyMontana]

Tony?? you our there mang?

I have a car problem. My benz wont start. I drove it a couple of days ago and then I went to take it out today and it wont go. It has gas and it starts then it just dies out..

Any suggestions ?

Phil it would be so much easier for you to grab the phone and call me while your standing next to your car .

I can diag it while your giving me info about it .
Like sitting in the car and telling me is you hear a hissing sound when you turn the car on , I can tell you what fuses is for what .... Where the general Module is at .....
So if you can hit me up and lets see what we can do , the 2.6 is very easy for me to diag over the phone .

Oh and Trixxx .......................

I have this very very nice Volvo 240 dl ....
very nice car it only has 75K miles on it and my pops bought it from a customer of ours that had it sitting in her garage for 7 years ....
All new belts , Timing belt and tensioner , water pump , tires , bushings , Battery , seal ....cam and crank .....
Im telling you if you want a car with no headaches or problem , cheap on gas and Insurance , then this is the car .
His trying to get 5K for it ....
I mean I know its not a pimp ride but if your in school and your trying to save money and not having to worry about getting stuck with car problems or car payments .
This is the car , its actually a little pimp .
Its white with tinted windows , I gave my pops a brand new Apline deck with Diamond audio speakers ....

Let me know if you want I can post pics .

[TyCobb]

[TonyMontana]

Tony, so you're our car guy, eh? You know anything about trucks?

So I know a little .

[TyCobb]

Well, I'm going to be hooking up my truck by next month...so you recommend any places in So-Cal? I'm talking interior, rims, tires, sound system, etc.

[LLcoleJ]

Thanks Tony,

I actually had my local benz guy take a look at it, so I am going to find out tomorrow.

Its a 190.e 2.6 liter-- sounds like you know alot about em...

[Danny Darko]

-= original quote snipped =-



Thanks for that. SB sounds a lot more like me.

BTW, i've heard of the 30-40k crowds on Halloween already. Anything else I should know about?

He's totally right about Halloween. Stay in, don't get paddy wagoned for nothing.

Here's some more- keep your cup upside down when going from kegger to kegger.

Don't join a frat totally unneeded at SB due to the density of the student population. IV is the most dense population west of the Mississippi

If you can't choose a major:

Engineering is where the money is if you can hack it
Communication is where the girls are along with Psych, but comm has more money making power in my experience.

[TyCobb]

PM sent Tony.

[LLcoleJ]

Tony -- your services seem to be needed here mang

[8'sReverse]

Phil it's simple, you turned off the car with it still in drive, then left it there for two days.

[8'sReverse]

BTW, I'm tired of seeing 2+ year old commercials... it's bad enough that there are so many, they should mix it up.

*this came up due in part to Shaq's icy/hot commercial

[TonyMontana]

PM sent Tony.

Replied .....and Im working on a few other ones as well .

Tony -- your services seem to be needed here mang

Anytime Mangs , when it comes to cars , mods , services etc .
Feel free to hit me up guys , but Im pretty good with mostly Euros but like Ty's truck on mods , tires , interiors I can help oh and paint and body too.
But Phil on your Benz call me if you can before your run in down to the shop , I bet I can help before you drop money on towing , Diag etc .

Its up to you .

[Danny Darko]

Tony, just wanted to say you did a nice job of interacting with the GS board without trolling. Nice work.

[Sedition]

The 190E is a solid car. One of my best friends had the 4 banger, 2.3L version. Never gave him problems.

All I have to say is, go with the classics...

(picture)

I can think of some great uses for that thing. I think it's kinda awesome as a shag wagon. Needs more tinting and mattress in back.

Not that easy to park, maybe

[8'sReverse]

meh, you make your own parking...

like at a park, or a cliff overlooking the ocean, or Six Flags Magic Mountain
