You dont' have to put down 200 for a good scotch or 20 for a good beer, that's absurd. At that point you're deluding yourself that the thing you're drinking is better cause it costs more.

Find a style of beverage you enjoy, explore the variety in it, sit in the inflection point of diminishing returns.

I had a hell of a lot of Newcastle and Svedka in college and am happy with my decisions in life. Are they good? No. But they filled a purpose.

Idk you're all full of shit. For the most part when you go to a bar you're not going to be drinking 20 year old scotch or $20 beer. I know when my parents go they don't. So this shit about "good liquor" is dumb. Average liquor is fine and will always be fine unless you have a lot of money there's no need to be drinking that fine of liquor.

Haha and vodka is good so y'all can suck a dick

And I think it's more the mindset of the person that fucks them up. You can say the same about alcohol. If you let it control your life it will fuck you up, but there are plenty of people out there that are very successful that smoke or did smoke at one point.

I enjoy Newcastle beer. It is not the best, not too expensive, but also not shitty. IPA's are more my thing.

I have had some bbbaaddd nights after vodka. I can hardly stand the smell, but for some reaosn always end up drinking it at parties. That is usually when the fireball, jack, tequila, or jager runs out.

You spend $200 on a bottle scotch but you ain't ballin'?

Newcastle is good. Heinekens are good or a corona with a lime on a hot day,

Should I do 205/45 or 205/50 on my 16x8's? I cannot decide. I am leaning towards 205/50 just because the roads here in SD are pretty shitty. I am on 225/50 now and they are oversized. I want to lower my car more also, hhmmmm

[kronus]

if 225/50 is oversized 205/50 isn't going to be any less oversized. go 205/45.

[Cabriolet]

sorry my point wasn't getting drunk for the sake of getting drunk or spending a lot on high end stuff. but doing well is school and getting it done fast is nice.
and yes when i go out i get 18-25 year scotch. it my personal like. and i love those weird one off beers. i've gotten super burnt this way but u dont know unless you try.

[mbonanni]

Well for 225/50 the dimensions are

Diameter - 24.9
Width - 8.86
Sidewall - 4.43
Circumference - 78.1

and 205/50 is

Diameter - 24.01
Width - 8.07
Sidewall - 4.04
Circumference - 75.6

Overall I would say there is a pretty significant size difference when it comes to tire talk. Only .2" shy of an inch smaller in diameter, 205/45 changes the diameter to 23.3 which is a whole inch and a half difference from what I am at now. I am back and forth with 45 series or 50 series sidewall... I don't want to slam my car, so a 45 series might be too short. orr?

[PorscheH6]

I don't like high sidewalls. I bought a used set of M-systems and they had 245/45 on them. Stock is 235/45. They looked weird as fuck, but I didn't want to throw away a decent set of tires.

I'll admit my head isn't screwed on all the way just yet, even closing in on 22. I'd like that to change though. Ah well, it could be worse.

[ohthejosh]

He's a young guy, take life as it comes and experience shit. Go to parties and drink crap drinks till you drunk. If you find that you start to agree with Eric then at least you found out yourself.

As long as you can balance your school with your play, you are solid.

[mbonanni]

I wish 215/45 was a more popular size...

Anyone ever heard of Ohtsu tires? They are made by Falken, and got pretty damn good reviews. I can get a set in 205/50 $280 shipped to my door and that is hard to beat. This is why I am leaning towards a 50 series sidewall.

[bastianshaw]

ATP would've cost me $45k and a state college probably would've cost me about the same after financial aid. Riddle is offering me A LOT of scholarship money and I'll come out wih under $100k in debt. Not bad for a masters and having employment opportunities from them to earn back that money and get credits.

everyone that goes to riddle comes put w 90k in debt trust me on this one things will change for you flying will be a reality and not a dream and when that reality sinks in +the debt your gonna be kicking yourself, if you could do it for free on a scholarship( sounds like they are using that word loosely) i would say go for it i recommend you work the line and pay as you go and get a degree in something NOT aviation, then you will have a fall back option(that you will use I promise) and no debt.

[Thizzelle]

any party you can get into as 18 will suck. unless you are into raves. but then you need drugs

you don't need drugs. If you like the music then go, otherwise it will suck.
