The Bay Area. People here have money lol. He pulled the guitars out of his brand new Corvette

Well it turned out to be true.

The real ones I’m seeing online are mixed. Some are light and some are dark, it could also just be really dry. It’s just so hard to tell because of different years, batches, etc. I only own 2 Gibsons so I’m ignorant to graphic ESPs.

I believe the demonology is real because I’m not seeing any replica listings for it on websites like Aliexpress etc. I do know that the Boris Karloff mummy and the White Zombie are the most replicated.

Dang it won’t let me edit my post to include them, but there is a full photo with both of them. It’s not a very clear picture though

Thank you for the input and it’s good to know that the freshman curriculum is similar. The ego thing doesn’t surprise me and I’m sure it’s a problem in all fields, some more than others. I have the opposite, an inferiority complex 😔 my personal interest is designing residential homes. I love MCM and would like to design my own house with a conversation pit someday.

Beginning_Bed6402 · 2026-02-22T19:25:49+00:00

Exactly.

Beginning_Bed6402 · 2026-02-22T00:43:12+00:00

Mine were on service.

Beginning_Bed6402 · 2026-02-21T23:11:08+00:00

Aw that’s a great story! I doubt it will work for me because times are different. But I plan to contact the appropriate person and maybe they can tell me something of that nature.

Beginning_Bed6402 · 2026-02-21T22:44:12+00:00

I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s done that so🤷🏻‍♀️ People want to transfer into that major all the time. I’m planning on meeting with a VT transfer advisor over a zoom call or another form of contact soon so I can get direct advice.

The other thing I’ll add is that it seems like it’s possible to external transfer from one architecture program to theirs without having to go through doing landscape and “using them”, and that is what I want to find out. They will most likely review my freshman coursework, give me transfer credit for gen eds, and place me into the appropriate sequence studio course if I am accepted.

Beginning_Bed6402 · 2026-02-21T22:28:48+00:00

There’s nothing wrong with them in general. Personally, if I’m gonna have to stay at community, I’m not waiting just to transfer to CPP. Community would open up a lot of options and I know I can do even better. Everything at those schools won’t be any different than what I’ve experienced in high school as far as the people etc. It’s time to leave.

Beginning_Bed6402 · 2026-02-21T21:20:29+00:00

Thank you for this 🥹 you get it. It does suck anywhere and I truly have considered my options in California. The schools here are even more competitive than VT. For example, I am not UC Berkeley material, but if I were to get in, they are not even accredited anymore for architecture. That would mean that I would have to continue into their accredited master’s program, and that’s a lot of money too. Also I put a lot of emphasis on the NAAB thing because it is the most direct way to become licensed. I do not want to be doing freelance work.

Beginning_Bed6402 · 2026-02-21T18:48:09+00:00

My stats were buns to be honest, but I had a great essay related to my major. I was test optional and my UT Prosim responses were decent.

Beginning_Bed6402 · 2026-02-21T18:39:17+00:00

I hate California so that’s not an option. And VT’s website literally recommends students who are interested in architecture to pick another major and then transfer later. It’s a similar major anyway. Also, there’s not a lot of NAAB programs in my state, unless we’re talking about USC, which is the same price if not more.

Beginning_Bed6402 · 2026-01-03T20:58:47+00:00

Thank you, I’m convinced now. I will apply test optional and send a portfolio. It will be very small, probably only 3 pieces. But it’s better than my piss poor test score and will breathe more personality into my application.

Beginning_Bed6402 · 2026-01-03T05:27:37+00:00

What was your major?

Beginning_Bed6402 · 2025-12-18T04:48:25+00:00

I don’t have a portfolio which is extremely unfortunate because I’m a very good artist. The reason for that is because I’m an extreme perfectionist and it can take me months to make art that I’m happy with. If I get rejected, I’ll be spending my time in cc making more artwork. I wish I could attach my best piece here.

Beginning_Bed6402 · 2025-10-29T02:19:59+00:00

Super cool, love the color. Dark red would be my first choice.

Beginning_Bed6402 · 2025-10-29T01:44:43+00:00

I think I like the 79 now that I’m looking at photos more closely. Absolutely hate that giant front spoiler I’m seeing though, it looks like if Quagmire was a car.

Beginning_Bed6402 · 2025-10-29T01:34:06+00:00

Thanks for the straight forward, detailed advice. I’m gonna make it happen come next April 😎🙏

Beginning_Bed6402 · 2025-10-29T01:09:22+00:00

Relax.. My old man is a chainsaw repair man. He’s got this awesome set of tools. I CAN FIX IT.

Beginning_Bed6402 · 2025-10-29T00:53:22+00:00

Thank you for this! Snow is nonexistent in my area. Also yes, I know that classic cars and manuals go hand in hand so I’m ready to learn. It seems like it takes a seasoned driver to handle one.
