What does getting my car stolen have anything to do about this? We weren't talking about the security of it, were we? No. We were talking about working on my car. I have nowhere at my apartment to work on my car. That's the point. QPR is in the armpit of St. Paul, if I was worried about it getting stolen it would be from where it sits right now. Regardless, I don't have a garage that I can call my own and neither do you.

No, that's fine. We'll do it here since you chose to reply to my original sarcasm in the public forum.

Since I have no problem working my ass off, I have paid for the first 2 years so far out of pocket. My dad died in April, and we have only had one income for the past 5 years. My parents cannot afford to help out. That is why I plan on getting out of the dsm game. Do not want to throw good money towards bad. I will not have to worry about paying for school the rest of my life.

There is a parking lot at your apartment complex right??? How about working there??? Since I am such a ghetto mechanic, I have spent my fair share of time fixing a car on the side of the road and in parking lots. It is very accomplishable. I just get some cardboard to lay on.

You're expecting me to assemble an engine, install the drivetrain and everything else in my apartment parking lot? That, sir, is ghetto.

I respect the rules of the place that I live at, and would much appreciate keeping the fine roof over mine and my roommate's head as long as possible.

An apartment complex that doesn't have garages? Don't they have garages that you can rent? You shouldn't need it for more than a couple months.

We get one stall, underground parking. They bitch if there's so much as a stray piece of newspaper in someone's stall.

Yup, that's pretty common w/ enclosed parking spaces attatched to appartment complexes. Many have full garages, many have underground parking, and some have nothing.

Now, enough whining and back to burnouts! Did anyone find the video from last year that was similar to this one? I'm curious what the setup was on that one...

I have quite a bit saved up.

So you put the burdon on someone else (namely your parents). And you call that financially independent? So, do you pay your parents rent? Oh wait, you would NEVER pay rent for a place. Until you are paying for the roof over your head, you are NOT financially independent. Do you pay your parents for electricity, gas, cable, internet, water, garbage, garage space, etc.? If not, you are not independent. In fact you are very dependent upon them. Just paying car insurance and food does not make you independent. I admire someone that can save their money while going to school, but don't make yourself out to be something you are not. Matt, and many others out here, make a living in this world and pay their own way for everything.

I work most of the time out of it unless I am doing an engine or something in the winter. No heat or cooling, just shelter from rain or snow. If you want to discuss more, PM me.

And I'm sure your parents are just so thrilled with you for that. In Matt's case, it would probably get towed because he doesn't own the property it sits on like your parents. Your parents will let you have it sit there however long it takes while the owner of the place that Matt lives in (along with the city) have rules about having cars sit. Most apartments and townhomes do not allow working on vehicles in the parking lots. Things are alot different in the real world. Think a little more about that before you start spouting off again.

Not even just in apartments and townhomes. I live with my parents, but when I was working on my car in the driveway the home owner's assoc. b!tched and made me move my car in the garage.
