"Life is about the journey, not the destination."

That saying can be applied here. I'd rather not live my life based on what will happen when I die. I try to be a good person, but the point of our Lord placing us here is your experience life.

I am leading a good life, along with my automotive interests. I won't feel guilty about enjoying something I love, and someone shouldn't be judged for it either.

I think about this way more than I should. I am currently going to a community college where full time tuition is $2k per semester if u don't get any grants ect.

I hear and talk to people all the time who struggle just to pay that and I feel like shit because I drive my family's vehicles to school and just one could cover the tuition for my entire class for a whole year.

To my parents, it's just a common thing, but to the people I meet, it would be life changing.

Idk, I started to ramble. Sorry man :-/

As someone that has to interact with people that are much less fortunate on a consistent basis as a healthcare provider, I am no longer as understanding no do I feel it's my duty to help out those that don't deserve it. In fact, what makes me more mad is that your average person will buy their bullshit. Everytime I see someone stopped in traffic hand out money to those 30 year old bums on the street corner makes me even more mad. I will put money towards things that benefit the people that actually try to lift themselves out of their situations, ie. scholarships, etc. Otherwise I couldn't care less. Also piety is a shit, live your life as a decent human being you fucking idiot.

If it's your first, it shouldn't go up by too much. I have a red light ticket and I pay an extra $35 a year because of it.

>Is it possible to turn a 4-door 4-window sedan into a 2-door 2-window coupe?
With enough money, sure.

>How much would it cost?
More than you can afford, pal.

>>16735199
How much are we looking at?

If going unibody, you have to make your own frame. The car is the structure itself so cutting it weakens the whole thing. A Panther would be the cheapest to make a coupe out of since coupes did exist and they shared the same frame underneath.

What the fuck is a spool?

>>16740255
basically an axle coupling that replaces the differential.

>>16740255
A sppol is basically a block that connects the input shaft of a diff to it's two output shafts. It makes sure that both left and right output have the same speed.

>>16740243
No, there aren't any road racing series that use spools, because a spool actively prohibits you from achieving different wheel speeds. What you're thinking of is a limited slip differential, which allows a certain amount of slippage which is essential to turning. A selectable locking diff is usually used offroad, where you can keep the axles locked together for long periods of time without getting any driveline windup, because there's not enough grip to create any.

However, you can find spools in dragracing, and in drifting, so he's wrong: you CAN find a spool in a professionally built racecar. Also, mini-spools are cheap, but a full carrier replacement spool isn't exactly a cheap part, and you'll need it if you're throwing 1500hp at a set of drag slicks.

Add.: Welded diffs are shit, and should only be used in situations where there is near-zero grip, so entry-level offroading and drifting.

Also not really, insuring a car with one is expensive/difficult, depending where you are.

I dont see the problem with these "e-nannies"

People as a whole do not have any interest in driving or practicing it safely, and as such they will never be able to actually do anything safely in an "old" car. With systems like these you simply make it less likely for the retarded people to crash into something, while those of us who wants to drive as safe and effective as possible often find these systems interruptive as they are designed to work with a person who is not paying attention and who is probably a mediocre driver at best

you really need to understand how uncoordinated/retarded the average person is.
