I'm tired of not being able to do anything to my car cause I'm poor. hey if any sponsor see this, thats my great marketing strategy idea, given to you for free. lol. anyone agree with me?

    I've had to make sacrifices for the sake of paying tuition... like (among other things) taking my 18's off and putting stockers back on. I can't afford 260+ for a single tire anymore. (295/35/18)

    1. Apply for federal student loans for a couple grand greater than you need for tuition
    2. Spend the couple grand indiscriminately on alcohol, contraceptives, and other needless wants
    3. Repeat for each next consecutive year of school, while basking in the glee of the fact that the larger portion of the interest rate of the first loan doesn't kick in for at least another four years or so, thanks to the federal subsidy.

    My ex-girlfriends roommate/best-friend has a scholarship (a fucking miracle in its own right), but last year proceeded to take out a federal loan for the max amount, purely to spend on $500 purses and expensive clothes and slut tools and other bullshit.

    I asked her if she knew that doing that was a federal felony, and she gave me a lolwut expression and said something along the lines of "lulz whatev, I'm cute tee hee, like my new purse? its Coach!"

    On a separate occasion at the time, I further inquired to my ex about it, and she said that the roommate/bestfriend barely got the loan, because she nearly missed the deadline because she didn't know she needed to take the online loan fundamentals class + quiz, didn't know she needed to sign the promissory note, and didn't seem to realize that the money would eventually have to be paid back.

    My reaction to that was bertstare.jpg, , Seinfeldshadenough.gif

    It scares me to think of this girl entering the 'real' world. Although, after experiencing this sort of behavior first-hand (A level of stupidity I didn't even think was possible), it actually made me much less surprised at the current debt problems many Americans face.

    +infinity, I hate having to wait an entire semester just to barely save up for one go fast part which I don't even end up buying cuz I end up having to pay for some stupid maintenance/repair cost instead. It's like an infinite circle of fail

    +double infinity. I have been stuck in that same cycle since I got my first car in high school. Try to save up for a cat-back exhaust? Sorry. Instead, replace engine due to oil leak and bent rod. Try again to save up for cat back exhaust? Nope, . Instead, replace entire front suspension due to CV joints rusting apart. Try to save up for new engine. One more time, . Instead, buy 4 new tires and replace brake pads.

    ^this has happened to me so many times (tranny mount,suspension,tires,brakes,sensors....etc) a few weeks ago though I thought I had finally broken the cycle when I got enough $$$ to buy the gears I'd been looking at for a year. get the parts, drop car off at shop, come back to pick it up only to be told I'd been sold the wrong gears and the retailer has a no return policywhen will the torment end???

    ok, so expanding on my big market plan here. this is why i believe companies should give college student discounts. who is going to be buying their products in the future, yea thats us. now is the time that you can get loyal customers. its a fact that companies don't make most of their profits from random customers, its from the loyal ones that come back time after time. this is when companies can pulls us in and as long as they have good service can keep us for the long hall. if a company plans to last they have to being marketing to the younger generation while keeping the older generation customers. lol any ways that my way of trying to convince people. im pretty sure i would go to a company just cause they offered me a discount for being in college. lol, yup...

    well stated, plus going back to the subject up performance parts think about who the main chunk of customers are for these types of things...that's right the younger generation. A majority of which are in college. IMO I think it would be a great marketing strategy and could def. do alot of good for such a company. hell I know I'd go to them lol
