If its a nice car just get a new engine. I bought a used engine for my car after the timing belt snapped and fucked everything internally. Engine cost about $700, had a guy i know put it in for $500.


It's not the engine that's the problem. The front wheels were hanging on by a thread, the brakes were done for, needed three new tyres, the gearbox and exhaust were hanging off, and apparently cars are meant to have something called a "drive shaft". Total was over £800. Well, the engine might have had problems. I didn't even get them to have a look. In good condition cars like mine can be nearly £2000 but mine is not even close to good condition. At this point I think fixing it will be more than the car is worth.

I am very pleased with my grades in school so far. I've kept a 100 average in AP Calc since I started, and I've got around a 96 average in all my other classes!

Thanks! Apparently math is my thing. Maybe I should minor in mathematics or something.

Fuck man.

In that case. Import a Mustang from the US. You will love me forever.

Good job, Fusion! Shouldn't you diversify since you're into languages? Maybe you could minor as a linguist.

What kind of job (besides a teacher) could I get with a degree in Mathematics? I haven't taken the time to look into that stuff because I'm just realizing how great I am at it.

EDIT: The only real objection I have to being a teacher is that I would probably be an asshole to my students and that wouldn't be cool.

I thought you were planning on getting that translation gig for the FBI or something. Wasn't that your plan?

Yes, it still is, but options are a pretty good thing to have and I'd rather major in the field that I *want* to have a career in. That just seems like a good idea, so that's why I wanted to minor in Math.

Just got in a debate with an old friend. She was saying about how huge an issue racism currently is. I told her it's not as big as she makes it sound because people base others off how they act and portray their character, not their race. Then she called me an asshole and that I don't have the right to determine that it's not an issue because I'm white and have privileges.

Can someone tell me what I did wrong?

Biggest reason: You tried to argue with a girl.

The original topic was how she said some girl was complaining about how she didn't get accepted somewhere because she was White and claimed racism. I chipped in that I hated when a situation occurs where someone immediately pulls the race card even when it's blatantly obvious that it's not relevant. That's when she retaliated saying racism is an issue because we ignore it. I say it's an issue because we give it so much attention even when it's not there.

Wait whoops, wrong forum section!

You initiated an argument with a girl.

What Devour said.

we were actually so high up. we were pretty much at the same level as the clearish/hazy cloudiness that gave the sky that brownish tinge to it. could overlook seattle, lake washington, bellevue.. it was nice

Or become black.
If unable to become black find a black friend to back you up.

And if that doesn't work just look back remembering you put up a good fight, because you can't actually ever win an argument with the female kind.

Did you see any hint of green?

Also I didn't mean to initiate an argument. If anything I thought I was agreeing with her!

I have a black best friend that lives in the same financial and economic standing as I do. I have enough proof as is.

By the way, it snowed today ;_;
It's not even Halloween yet. Man. I have a feeling that this year's winter is going to be cold as fuck, because the summer was extremely nice. Bleh.
