Someone there must have made a big mistake cause I'm definitely do NOT have "Academic excellence"
Schools are rated by the academic strata that are accepted into them.

Pete, maybe you should apply to a better institution.

Ha! (see above post with the Smilie.)

One character if you only count visible text, i.e. the leading Period.

The trick is that the forum compacts multiple spaces to a single space.

So long as those spaces fall between viewable text.

In the above case the Period and the Colon mark beginning the Smilie emoticon.

nice, give that dog a bone!

dave, depending on what you are going for, central is a really good school. for physical science and engineering related degrees its the perfect school.

as for emmissions, vehicles too big for the dynes get the SNAP test. even if you fit on the rollers you can request the snap test if i recall.

I am not being institutionalized, sir. I'm not entirely sure where you got that idea...

Greg, let me know if you've got a free day at any point to solder the trailer wiring harness in on my flatbed. I figure it's about time the truck is capable of towing things legally.

Good evening ct! Went and ordered some shocks for my dads 98 f150 today. He came home the other week & goes "the guys at the shop told me I need new shocks." I asked him if they have ever been changed, he said no. So they are 13 years old and have 110,000 miles on them, nice job pops, haha!

Please do not bother my tire cutter. He has much more important things to do. If you want, bring your truck to my shop. A hair dryer should work, right?

My mechanic is on top of it. He took it to Dynamic Racing, the low gear bands were smoked, the 2nd gear bands were burnt, the valve body was week. All is being taken care of.
