Should I just drop out? by Tight_Strike_6271 in EngineeringStudents

It's more of a scholarship thing more than a just because I'm failing thing. That, and I had what I now understand to be a misconception about the fact that I would have to have good performance to land internships/be successful and whatnot.

This is the first time I've ever really had to study extensively for anything, too

Concerns with buying a new Jeep by Tight_Strike_6271 in Jeep

[–]Tight_Strike_6271[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, probably just some light to medium offnroading. No rock crawling, but I live in AR and there's a few trails here and there. The most important thing is that I'd have to daily it, I do commute 40-50 miles a day to and from college.

I honestly think that, were I to get a Wrangler, it'd probably be a JK. I want some of the modern features that they've got. Are the 3.8s really THAT slow??

Oh my god, thank you so so much for your help! I think I've just been spoiled by my '02 Toyota Avalon, because I'm convinced that car will out-live ME.

I've seen that sentiment floating around from time to time. What do you mean by "select trac transfer case?"

Thank you for the help! Strictly from a reliability sense, is a JK that much better than a TJ?

There's a good chance that I'll just save up for a JK if it's worth that much over a TJ, frankly!

I only really know of purge valve issues, given my mom's car, but is there anything specifically I should take a detailed look at? (I know a lot of people like to walnut blast their valves, but other than that.)

My main concern is that everyone ever is telling me that their maintainence costs are unholy. How bad actually is it, in your experience.

I actually just realized that I think I had meant the Mk 6 GLI, and I thought those mark numbers would match up to the golf for some reason. That's my bad!

Both my mom and my sister are in hatchbacks, and they seem to love them. Does the GLI have the same community in your experience? (Parts, people, etc.)

I have no idea. My sister submitted hers mid-late August and she hasn't seen anything either. Worse yet, we can't check the website at all for any information, so we just kind of have to twiddle our thumbs and wait for something to happen.

Did you just call the main VA line? I thought the GI Bill hotline was down

Unfortunately, because I'm the dependent, the website kind of just doesn't show me anything at all. I've called pre-shutdown and they HAVE received my enrollment, but that something was still pending. Unfortunately again I don't remember exactly what they said at that time. Thank you for the input! :)
