I gots me 1 that made me mad. This years Sophmores (who really live up to educated morons which is what Sophmore means) are in my Auto class. Now they are in the entry level auto class. And unless it says Chevy has a V8 and can go tow a trailer they say its all $#!T.
So as class was starting today we were talking about whether a car was american or not. Dont as me why I wasnt really paying attention. Any way they started their normal bull about how Dodge sucks and Fords p**y $#!t and whatever else they started to say. But then the one who runs his mouth about everything decided to say that a lifted Chevy truck is the best off road vehicle period. His reasoning is that all you need to do is weight down the back and your good. And that things like Jeeps havent been worth anything since Before 1980.
I was speachless

(conversation about my nieghbors FSJ Cherokee, they never use it parked in the barn)
Me: I wanna buy that Jeep
Mom: Why would you buy that?
Me: Why wouldnt I buy that? Its in perfect shape, besides some interior work. It would be so nice.
Mom: Why do you want to waste your money on some old piece of crap?
Me: walks away...
(driving on Studd Mill Rd during late winter)
Friend: I wonder where that trail goes? (pointing at a run down road)
Me: Lets find out.
Ten minutes later high centered... had to dig it out with a camp shovel.
