Dont be like me, and spend nearly 200 bucks on a college book, then forget to sell it. Less than a year later its worth 5 bucks. Its worth nothing! All because its simply 1 edition old. College books are the biggest scam going today. thats my tale. i like tails.
high wing is the best wing.

nearly $200? hahahahahahhahaha. That's not even the tip of the iceberg sir.

Its the most expensive one ive shelled out for. So relative to me, its killer. I mean, i could have gotten another set of wheels for that!
but im sure there are many other off the wall expensive books for other majors.

I pirated the majority of my books on my tablet, but the most expensive one I ever bought and was okay with was $250, and that was on sale on amazon. It's an engineering reference book though, so I'm cool with it.

Did you try Amazon and ebay? I sold my year old books for 20 to 30 dollars a piece. I made about 400 bucks from this!

It's good to know some things never change in college.
Like hot co-eds you never have a chance with. Same as it ever was.

My school, depending on the class, makes you buy an online code for quizzes OR the ebook to access homework. I would have pirated the math book, but I had to buy the ebook.

Engineering is one thing. Statistics, 200 is ridiculous. and i looked for the pirated version. But no luck.

If i had to have a celica, it would be the one with that wing. As ridiculous as it is, its my kind of ridiculous.

Well, i recouped most of my cash from the other books. I even made money off a few selling them back to amazon for more than i paid. Then i bought a bunch of car cleaning stuff haha. I actually did list this one on ebay but it didnts sell. I even had a best offer on an already low price. oh well...
also check this brz out. i think youll gusta.

Id agree. The last gen celica was overly girly. And the lines are a bit too sharp for me.

Yep, that was me as well, back 20 (sigh) years ago. Schlept my ass to school and lived at home.
But, I did meet the Mrs. Dealkiller at school, and graduated, so, not all bad.

Well my Calc book and Physics book were each ~$200+/- and both were loose leaf. . . Fucking stupidest thing ever. I won't keep my physics book nor my math book as they both do a lousy job of teaching from reading and providing clear examples.
My O-chem book I got the international version for a quater of the price of the "domestic" version. I'm going to be keeping all my chem books though. I can't wait to find out what the P-chem books are going to cost.

amazon says you can rent it for $12. also, whats this technology update garbage???? I see what you mean. this is stupid.
![]() 09/11/2013 at 23:08 |

Exactly, im in that same boat.
I always wonder if im missing anything with the dorm life, but the tradeoff would have been my car. I guess i like cars just too much.

also, I found a torrent, but have no way to give you the link privately. hmm. if you figure something out, let me know.
![]() 09/11/2013 at 23:11 |

but thats with free shipping. so really, after i ship it ill make maybe 5. if i want to get it sold. Id rather use it as a shooting target to be honest. Or give it to some children to color in. That would be worth at least 5 bucks.
technology update is stupid. IIRC it was stupid links they put in the book. and a CD was included. but besides that it as the same book as the previous edition. Its just the easy way to make mad money these days. I need to get into this book business. Must be legit.

really! are you just using the good ol 'bay? I dont need that book now unfortunately. But i am looking for another book....

Mine went to my exhaust :D It was a good decision. Try buying your books off ebay or amazon. They have amazing deals. Unless you need an access code(which you can buy separately) for homework and such.
I do like it. Just not big on the side skirts. I want something more subtle. Something like this. Mmmm, gonna have to do it all the way around though.

Plus i hate it when you end up using those books only a few times in the semester.
nearly every book ive read has been pretty terrible in terms of teaching the material.

I have my ways, yeah I found that other book on the bay, Give me a minute, I think I found this one somewhere else.

Yep. two years into this college 'bidnez i should have known better. Im just pissed at myself. Also, Goodwill will have books sometimes. And for crazy cheap. Also, craigslist, and fellow students. Usually a simple trade works in that scenario.
You dont think youd accidentally hit that when you swing to get out of the car? It looks like it sticks out a little bit.
![]() 09/11/2013 at 23:22 |

What I don't get is why the publishers need to release new editions of math, chem, and physics books. It's not like that stuff changes. They just make minor updates and change the names in and order of the word problems so they can call it a new edition. Biggest crock ever.

dang you are good. Im not as quick as i was a few years back with the torrents. you stop for a while and you forget darn near everything.
if you add an at gmail to my username on here, you could send the link that way.
If you do find it, ima be so stoked!

I do the trade thing all the time(once). But seriously, those things help so much. I am amazed how many people still go to the bookstore, I guess I had to for the speech book, but still.
Also I don't think it sticks out to much. I mean it is not sticking out past the wheel wells.

surprisingly my o-chem book is decent. but yeah doing homework on a section that is 3 pages and provides vague examples is horrible. . .

youd have to see how it looks when the door is open and you are looking down. Its partly the reason why i dont want to get any of the bigger sideskirts for my prelude. The all stick out and end up acting like a running board you see on burbans.

I will probably have to search the forums for the answer, I don't want to buy a 1000 dollar fender kit, and then find out that it doesn't fit properly. Also there is a very thin line you with these kits, to much and it might be considered ricey .
![]() 09/11/2013 at 23:39 |

I hear ya. a grand is a decent amount for purely cosmetics, that still need paint.
Can it really even be rice? I though rice was more or less left to the fwd bastion.
Im enjoying looking through that body kit thread on the ft86club. There are a ton of cool ones!
But yeah, fitment is key. You should have pretty good luck with that though since its a new car and all.

I spend most of my time(when waiting for a bus or a class to start) on either Oppo or Ft86 forums. Nice place, but there are some douches there.
Also that is a carbon fiber kit, so it will be a bit more expensive, but I hate a car with bare carbon fiber on it. I am going to find one that is just black, cause I like the way it looks on an orange FR-S

every forum has its doushes. But you just gotta look past them.
Well keep it simple. Simple and tasteful. And your lucky to have orange, as its a great color to exaggerate other parts of the car.
