That was my guess as well, especially with the transmission randomly acting up out of nowhere. Might want to look into purchasing a factory service manual (like from Toyota) and following some of the diagnostic trees (i've purchased one for every vehicle I've ever owned). While they cost a fair amount of $$ (like $100+) they often will save you a ton in the long run, especially if you plan on keeping the car for a while

thats exactly what I did . However I like went into shock when I got to OSU b/c I thought it was going to be exactly like Columbus State but better (small class sizes, lots of student/professor interaction) only when I got there it was the opposite and I totally freaked out and immediately took a negative approach. I wish more then anything someone would have told me it was going to be much different, instead of hyping it up like it was going to be 10x better. From what i've been told once you get in your higher level classes it is 10x better but your first year or so there it can be crap (if you get stuck with the wrong professors and more importantly the wrong TA's). Another thing that pissed me off about OSU was the overall attitude towards freshman/sophmores. Like in terms of *classroom* amenities everything was junk: classrooms were junk, chairs/desks/blackboards/Computers...junk. Like coming from Columbus State where everything was plush it was a big shock to take a step down the ladder, like I had better accommodations in high school. It would be one thing if they (OSU) couldn't afford it but they can, they just choose to put there money into there medical/graduate schools - that pissed me off. Especially when that school is so "highly regarded". Again I had really high expectations for that school and I felt like I got let down when I got there. I sorta got sidetracked and eventually dropped-out, my fault but still, I wish someone would have warned me.

See I learn best from other people, specifically interaction with other people and professors. I have learning disamabilties (don't confuse that with being stupid). I learn best in small class rooms with lots of student-to-student interaction, and professor-student interaction. You can't just stick me in a huge classroom and expect me to learn something by listening to a professor continuously ramble on for 2 hours straight, it just doesn't work (well it works to some extent, but I can't stand it). That being said night classes @ OSU actually fit the bill, however "Night" and "Undergrad" are almost unheard of there. Thats what I was trying to say. Although there is some little bonus deal with Math, like if your in Calc-xxx you can get into Fisher without going through all of the hoops everyone else has to.

I had a 3.5 from Columbus State and could not get in. Im almost positive you have to have a certain amount of OSU Credit hours AND a certain GPA @ OSU (not combined) to get into Fisher. The only way you can side-step those requirements is if you have some high-rollin math placement, which is bullshit.

This is what i've heard too. Also one of the biggest problems I found @ OSU was the age-range/attitude of most of the studens. 90% of the people there were in that 18-22yo age range and seemed to give a fuck less about getting educated...They really just wanted to party. Whereas @ Columbus State (Franklin?) most of the students seem genuinely interested in getting an Education/Bettering themselves, makes a world of difference when it comes to a productive learning environment.

OSU undergrad is absolute CRAP until your last year. Yes you will get the name recognition witch is worth $$$ but the education itself is a joke, until you're a senior

Thats what I was looking for...(and what I had initially thought)...Love CR. Out of curiosity how did you like the parts department? Every time I go and talk to those guys they seem like there having a ball...seems like a kick-ass job.

Yea but like when I used to get parts from Cadillac they had some little sticker on the computer that read something like "list +20%" "list + 40%" etc. I always assumed that it was some pricing schedule, I.E. so-and-so automotive gets list price +20%, average Joe gets list price +200% etc. I just wanna know what im talking about before I walk in there so I don't look stupid when I ask him to come down. And while were at it I was getting parts down in Florida once and the dealership tried to charge me like 2x what he quoted me over the phone. When challenged he quickly typed in a few numbers on the computer and said "my bad, I was in the wrong category" (yea right buddy). Is there any incentive for a parts manager to gouge people? Like do they get a bonus based upon sales??

So I had to order new contacts for my starter, fucking like almost $40 for both of them from Germain Lexus:confused: I can get a new rebuild kit w/shipping for $30 from ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/starter-repair-kit-Lexus-SC300-3-0L-92-94-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQfitsZModelQ3aSC300QQhashZitem56431102abQQitemZ370492375723QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories (granted it would take a week or so to get here as opposed to next-day from the dealership). I can't imagine these contacts cost the dealership more then like $10 yet they charge me 4x that...Why? Is there some way to get them to come down on price? Like can I setup an account or someshit? (dude on one of the Lexus forums mentioned something about dealships "high-grossing" walk in customers:confused:) figured someone here would know more about dealer parts departments.

im going to LOL when it's priced @ $12.99/12- pack and everyone here starts bitching up a storm.

Both pools and hot tubs are outside the gates Don't show up looking like a scrub and you usually wont get hassled.

The Quarry > Runawaybay.

wrong. They can fail all at once, or fail over the course of weeks. When mine went out it kept randomly stalling on me over the course of 3-5 days, then it quit for good. Did you inspect the fuel pump wiring harness/connector for corrosion or burnt ends?

Never liked the evo's, especially with that ugly ass ricer wing. I'd much prefer a pimp-tight 3000gt.
