This makes two of us! I was in 7th grade when it happened and then school was let out due to it and went home.

Secondly almost everyone changes their major in college. At least once.

I started as a as an architecture major, switched to accounting, then finally got my degree in finance. Now I am an accountant.

But that’s me, I am only saying this because when I was 17 going into college I told all the nay sayers nope. I wont crash...nope I wont change my degree. Then life happens...
I HAVE switched 3 times.... First a chef, then computer science and have 3 yrs under my belt for that and then switched to get my CCNA.....

Everyone has their bad times. I was a very bad kid when I was young which I still am. Finally changed myself around. Just always be there for your bro if he needs someone.

Yes they do but don't know exactly the amount. Seen past post to where it has dome as much as an inch or just a tad under.... If I take my collars out I can get probably up to an inch of drop/sag for the price of nothing instead of spending 400 plus on LCA's. In which when I do purchase LCA's I'll be grabbing whitelines or AP. From measurements I've taken a couple days ago I will be about 5mm tucked in with removing collars

Man who do you guys get your insurance through? I'm 27 never been in an accident and have 0 tickets and my insurance is way more than that. Makes 0 sense to me and I have USAA cheapest I have found.

Yeah I wanted Whitelines too but no one has them in stock

Anyways I got Racer X lower control arms. They are on groupbuy right now for $375 and has an adjustable urethane bushing which is something i know i was looking for in a LCA. You can also get them powdercoated a custom color for only 35 bucks.

Try Geico but call and tell them your military or they may have the option online now but there is a whole department just for the Military.

USAA was always more even when I checked about a month ago they were almost 400 more than my discounts with Geico. You should qualify for Military and Good Driver I am sure.

Hey wait were you the White BRZ I saw behind me on I-10 this morning? Did you see those weird Nissan Rogue Duct Taped test Vehicles?
