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.

Honestly, 90k debt isn't bad. I don't know when you went to school (don't know how old you are), but most people come out with that or more from a regular college... And yeah, I'm also petitioning for more money from them, and hoping to come out with very little debt if any. They will hire me on as a instructor too after I complete flight training, so they money from that can go directly to paying off any debt I do get and I should come out with veryyy little. My major is Global business and I can get my 5 year masters in that, so I'm happy about that.
Honestly, everyone told me not to go to ERAU because of the cost, but always said that they had a good program. Since cost isn't really an issue anymore, I think the decision has been made for me...

$90k is a LOT of debt.

Go to a state school for a major that has employment opportunities after graduating, do internships/co-ops/anything related to your major in your free time during school and summers, and then get a job. Loans are a double edged sword, avoid at all costs. Work 15-20hr/week at a major-related job, or more if you can. Get experience. Sacrifice time now for the best chance at getting a job after graduation.

You can get a degree in a real field without taking on any debt-- I did, but at the cost of most of my free time. Would do it again. Friends who took the other option of paying out of state tuition or not working (or both) are REALLY hurting now, even with good degrees. Don't take on debt unless you absolutely must.

Best head unit options?


Looking for something nice and clean stock-ish looking doesn't have to be that close to an oem look.

But I want an auxiliary cable, and the most important part about the oem look is the ability to have amber lighting so it looks similar to the rest of the interior lighting on the dash and cluster.

[PorscheH6]

I like my Pioneer deh80prs. Had a cd43...terrible sq

[3vilE30]

I like my DEH-P5200HD
The lighting is less red in person and doesn't really "stray" away from the rest of the amber lighting. Sorta matches the redness in the gauge cluster lighting.
IT SLAPS THO. THAT HD RADIO MANE.

If you really wanna fly, I am not joking when I say working at home depot is a better gig, you are home every night make more and less stress, when you get older you will want a family these thing will be important but you will be handcuffed to the job...there are really nice sunsets though... aviation degrees arent worth the paper they are written on, the airlines just want a 4 year, not sure if you are trying to go that route or not, but get it in something ELSE so when u get tired of flying (you will) you can do something else..

watch number two as well im not trying to kick your dreams in the nuts dont get me wrong its not as glam as you think but they warned me too so ill shut up now.

[Pantless Spency]

damn those two options seem pretty expensive...



on another note, got off work and drove up atlas peak rd here in napa, all the way to the end in the e30.


really cool drive would recommend it to anyone in the area, gotta be careful though, theres some hairpin turns and not well signed tight corners.

still really cool though.

[MR 325]

as for pot. spend one day in Venice CA. then tell me pot doesn't fuck up your life.

Those freakshows in Venice didn't get that way from pot. I promise you that.

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

205/50 for sure.

tru dat. but the pot isnt doing their brain an favors. i'm sure the 20 years or heroin/cocaine played their roles in ruining lives.

on a personal note. dealing with transferring schools is a huge pita when you get kicked out of sjsu for dropping out of too many classes. take it from me, drop work before classes.

Probably meth. Shit fucks people up. Pot doesn't harm your brain, it can get used to a large amount if dopamine after long term use, but after you stop using it your brain goes back to how it was eventually. Long term use side effects can be nausea after stopping and some short term memory loss until your brain gets used to not having a large amount of dopamine in your brain. But other than that, there are no true side effects and is only mentally addicting not physically like tobacco, alcohol, or hard drugs like meth.

IMO, ganja isn't that bad sporadically, but when you smoke everyday, multiple times a day, it's: counterproductive, a waste of money, and keeps you from doing other shit.

Many downsides, IMO when you go to a party with the intention of macking, smoking is retarded. When you wanna get a competitive job, it has the potential of fucking you over.

Bottom line - self-control. Now is the time to experiment, but also the time to make enduring habits. That's why I don't get fucked up 24/7 like a lot of my homies. I still get fucked up now and again and have a good time.

[Thizzelle]

I have this

http://www.crutchfield.com/p_105KDAH75B/JVC-Arsenal-KD-AHD75BT.html?tp=5684

can customize the colors to buttons and screen separate. hands free calling and audio goes through speakers. phone hooks up through Bluetooth and can shove a usb in front also.
Everything you need for cheap

[Wh33lhop]

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

I am behind a bit but this is wrong. Why the wrong face Dmitriy? :(

Extrapolate this out to near everything. Moderation of all things is how to be successful in life.

Except for spending habits on your cars, obviously.
