well kenny... you really made me sad man

i wish i was born in a country that really cares for its citizens and offers the best education available... i wanted to do just that when i was young then realized that the best i can be is a mechanical engineer specialized in "fixing" mechanical machines - including cars - but their is no such thing is a designer, builder or such crearive branches... we are always many steps behind.

you don't even get to choose the faculty you want... it is just set according to how much you score on high school so an asshole can be a doctor just because he memorized all the books he got at school and got a high score at tests rather than loving what you study and really wanting to be a doctor.

i loved cars more than i loved anything else in the world... then a few miles behind i love computers, i wanted to study mechanics (the design and performace part) or computers but i ended up beeing an accountant

now i am working as an AS400 administrator which got nothing to do with accounting so i practically wasted 4 years of my life studying the wrong material... i manage to salvage some of that time by taking computer courses which helped me durin the 2 years i worked as an accountant then 3 years as a system operator.

on my spare time i try to learn more about cars and work on them with my hands, it surly the next best thing after having sex... lack of performance parts, tuners shops and even the basic performace knowlege here is making it even harder for me to learn but i won't give up even if it was the last thing i will do in my life.

anyways it is a great opportunity kenny that you got the chance to learn all that so grab it as hard as you can man... some people got the chance to only dreaming of that. good luck with your studies.

you need a visa... to come to america to learn auto mechanics stuff

if you do get a visa let us know first so you can buy all the cheap parts we need and want then move over here to give to us.

it is all comparative guys... you got high labour prices and we got low value for money so PARTS seem to be cheap to you all.

i thought of making a better parameter to value parts between here and the USA so i thought about gas prices... for exaple the front bumper of a Lanos sport cost 210LE which is equalent to 210 liters of 90 octane gas... how much does this much of fuel cost you guys???

it's really about the same, i guess cost of living in general is lower there. your gas is obviously way way way cheaper than here, but that's for obvious reasons i guess

i wish we could get parts at that cost here though... if you could export stuff... you'd be freakin rich

perfectly fine. the only problem is my 17's rub.

lanos2001 · Post by **lanos2001** » Tue Nov 29, 2005 9:19 pm

how bad do they rub? i'm gonna be lowering mine but before i do i've been trying to figure out if i need to buy new rims or not. like right now mine rub but only if i'm going fast enough with a full tank and at least one other person in the car and thats when i hit a bump.
