I haven't ordered mine yet. I'm in T-1s right now and graduate in October, so I'm thinking it will make a nice graduation gift. I have a feeling if I got one now, it'd be too big a distraction, considering I've had 5 different cams, 2 sets of heads, and 3 different torque converters in my LS1. I just spend too much time working on them.

Thanks for the advice. I'm trying like hell to enjoy UPT, but it's hard to. I'm sure one day I'll look back and miss it, but right now I just want to get the hell out of here!

Retired mechanic and selling Amsoil. Mostly Amsoil. It is easy and cheap to get into and can go way beyond what most folks could ever hope for.

You deserve it, especially for that selfless act. Holding off your education in favor of your family is no easy choice, but the right one for sure. I'm lucky to have parents that support my choices for schooling and helped me along the way.

Now they've agreed to cosign my car loan post grad as a graduation gift. Rather than paying 20%, I may be as low as 5.

That, and they want me to have the car so that they can have an excuse to steal it from me..

I work at GM Design in the Rear-wheel-drive Performance Studio. Not only do I make enough to buy a Camaro, I earned the money by helping design it!
