Now bud ill just tell you like this, im 25 but my last 6 years has drove me into adult hood very quick. I must say I do appologize trying to gut you younger dudes over something. But I have to say this some people in life did have to walk to school, and they worked a full time job while attending high school.

I didn't have to do that and im glad I didn't but you can't just forget them because there old you will be in there shoes one day. Maybe older people sometimes show there emotions over the fact lives change. I mean how much of a system could I build on 4 months of day care at 637$ a month lol. But those shoes are waiting for you guys.

Untill then live it up enjoy those nice trucks cause im sure your getting some attention with em!

Oh yeah and about life lessons don't listen to US military recruiters talk to post service veterans! That is if your heading that way.

2nd off you had alot of positive comments about your setup until you forgot were alot older than you. So pull your foot out of your mouth and enjoy your setup. Im sure it sounds alot better than mine at least!
i was never implying that i thought the kid was poor in a financial sense. just that everyone was picking on him because he was proud of himself because he did something that people was telling him he couldnt do. im glad to see he did it him self and maybe learned something instead of going to mama and daddy and getting them to go out and buy it for him like most kids now days. i have worked hard to buy the things i have and make them what they are for many years now and most kids in high school that have never worked a day in there life for anything are driving around in 50k 60k rides that were given to them by their parents and tear them up because mama and daddy will just buy me another one. lol it must be nice.
but anyways good job on your build youngster.

Rule #1
You cannot go back and edit a post that someone has quoted you on after you realize you were acting like a child....oh damn sorry you are one.

Rule #2
Life is not a contest.

Rule #3
Respect the information that your elders can provide. It is possible that teenagers do not know everything. (They think they do) I know I have been there.

Rule #4
If you are going to try to get a point across, take some of the money you saved building your cram and jam and invest it in some English books and a dictionary.

You are a true credit to our under-paid education system.

The future of our country is in your hands...............

x2

I blew up/fried all kinds of things when I was younger cause I was just trying to figure it out on my own.

But all those fried amps got me thinking, and led to a interest in electronics and eventually a well paying career.

Keep it up bud, if in the future you don't like something about the set up, you now have something to improve on.

I was really just commenting on his complete lack of grammar and spelling. I was refering to the slow degradation of quality teachers in our education system. If we continue to pay our teachers like we do... how can we expect a better product ?

Just keep in mind if he would have approached the posting in a more respectable way he would not got such negative responses. This is another triat of our upcoming generation...no repect for anyone.

He could have still built his system the way he wanted, just not had the I told you so attitude.

What does he expect???
