^Can't you just drill the holes out so they will be the same on both ends?

That makes sense. DOR makes good stuff. If I was rich my truck would have all of their stuff. I'm going to get their steering box brace when I get my redhead steering box soon.

Word to the wise: DO NOT ATTEND COLLEGE STRAIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL.

Seriously. If family and such are riding your *** about college, check with your local junior colleges to see if there is a 2-year transfer option. What this does is enables the student to knock out the most common lower division courses (Math, Science, English, History, etc) and then you can transfer that work to a regular 4-year school to concentrate on the last two years, which is your major and minor, should you choose to pursue a minor.

Colleges are populated with 17/18/19 year-olds who just don't have a clue what they want to do, so they screw around in school, get a degree in *something*, and then endure a life of misery.

Spend your first couple of years working and attending junior college. The tuition is cheaper and the classes are generally easier than getting your *** kicked in traditional college. Night classes are best, because chances are high you'll be attending with people over 25 who are there to learn and not treat it as an extension of high school. When pursuing my Associates at junior college, my one science instructor would compare our evening class scores (people 25+) against those of his day class (18/19). He said the day class would get pissed because our average was almost 10-points higher and it was all the same material at the same pace.

If you minor in anything, I highly recommend Accounting.

^ There was a picture I was going up post here but I didn't get around to it, a recent class of college grads, don't remember which country, not U.S, put the dollar figure they were in debt because of those college classes on the top of their hats....

That's all college is today, debt.

This is excellent advice. I know WAY too many people that spent north of 50 grand for a degree, only to get a job that pays less than 25K a year.... their student loan payments absorb almost half their paycheck..... They are screwed for the most part, as they basically have a mortgage payment, without the house to live in.
