Flyin Miata

I'd have to call up my parents and see if they have the paper still, I took the one with the new scoring system (that went above 1600 or whatever the old max was), but I remember doing better on the ACT than I did on the SAT so I forgot about my score on that exam. Like I said, they claim that they have been raising the bar to get in here every year. I also had friends in my high school with about the same grades as me that didn't get in to main campus either.

I carried a 3.2 average in HS with a 28 on the ACT and had no problem getting accepted to the average public colleges, OSU, Akron, and Kent. OSU claims they are raising their standards every year but from some of the people I have to deal with in my classes you wouldn't know it. I'm still amazed that people sleep in college classes when attendance isn't even required.

Is that the dotshot?

I got mine when they were phasing out Office 2004, they sold me it for like 25 bucks because they "technically" were out of the license time or something, and they said that although I wouldn't "technically" be able to upgrade it, they also told me that it would still work fine. So yea I dunno, it was confusing to me but in the end I bought it for almost nothing and it still works great . I'm sure they new versions are still cheaper than any retail store though.

Nice taste in birthdays, I had one today myself .

I've only been to Toledo one time, but my parents made sure we stopped here for lunch. Highly recommended. Rest of Toledo seemed pretty awful though, not somewhere I'd go by choice.

Target at Lennox Center has 12 packs of both Mountain Dew and Pepsi throwbacks, and the deal is 3 for 10 bucks. The shelves looked a little empty when I went, stuff is probably going pretty quickly for that price.

I use between 300 and 400 per month, but I only use maybe 100 minutes total, usually less. I do a lot of communication over instant messages since I'm usually on the computer doing work and it's free and easy. Ever since getting a full keyboard on my phone though I do use a lot more texts.

And saw this on cleveland racing: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2006/08/audibmwsub1.jpg http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2006/08/audibmwsub2.jpg http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2006/08/audibmwsub3.jpg http://prorev.com/610bentley.jpg

Well I'm good on tires but I was thinking about coming down to you guys and getting an oil change, I'll definitely shoot you a PM when I decide to get it, probably sometime in the next few weeks.

:thumbup: Nothing like people calling me out on driving a gay car, then looking over and seeing a girl in the passenger seat .

I took a class at OSU that was basically about the history of street gangs, this was the first movie we watched in class. Supposedly it is one of the most historically accurate movies of it's kind.

I'm on there quite a bit, for some reason I just didn't find that in the search the first time around, but yea I saw the thread and now I know what's involved at least. Between there and clubroadster.net I don't think there is much you can't find out about Miatas online.

What do you think I've been doing for the last 3 weeks? It held up just fine doing the trip from Cleveland to Columbus and I wasn't exactly going the speed limit . I'll let you know, haven't decided whether to wait till I go back home again or just get it done down here. I barely drive it at all when I'm at school so it's not a pressing (no pun intended unless someone laughs) matter right now. I've got a lot of things to spend money on coming up, my 21st is fast approaching.

:gtfo: I know it doesn't seem like the easiest option right now, but you should at least attempt at writing the paper. I won't go into what I think about having your mom write a paper for you in college, but it's not going to help you later on when you start taking tougher classes that will probably make this look like a piece of cake. Does CSCC have some sort of webpage where your professors post info for the class, like the Carmen system at OSU? If you can find the list of people who are also taking the class, you could email them and maybe they can help you out. One of your best resources in college is that you have a number of other people that all have to do the same assignment. Either way, good luck on it, I'd try and help you but I've never taken a single humanities class in my life.

Not doing a damn thing all day, going to a show tonight. Saturdays without work are the best.

Thanks for all the responses guys. Looks like I'm going to tear it apart next time I go to my parents' house and see what all needs done. I may just end up replacing the hubs all around because I'm pretty sure one or two of them need it badly.

OK I don't know very much about actually working on cars so forgive me if I should know this, but what is the easiest route to go about fixing a snapped stud on the rear hub? I was using a crosswrench and applied a little too much pressure on a stubborn lug nut, and it snapped off in the middle. I guess they just aren't made to support a 250 lb. guy . Is there a way that a replacement stud can just be pressed into my existing hub, or is a complete hub assembly the only way to go? I'm trying to go the cheapest route here, I barely have enough to fill up the tank right now but I think this is something that needs fixed soon. TIA.

No one is making you stay here, and I'm sure plenty of us would be glad if you logged off and never came back. It's up to you...

You have truly awful comebacks.

But he's old enough to use proper grammar. Are you?

There is a place on Indianola right before Hudson going north, I think they sell used bikes but I have no clue if they do repairs also. Might be worth checking out though.

Christ, why is everyone hounding on the guy for taking one lighthearted pic? He was by himself, is alive and from what I understand didn't hurt anyone in the process. Let the kid be happy to be alive. I for one think the picture is hilarious, some people need to un-bunch their panties a little. Glad to see the guy is OK.
