  1. Pay $173 for something that can earn you that amount by your morning coffee brake... pretty good investment if you ask me :cheers:

    In my opinion, you can never spend too much on books like that. Now, you can easily spend too much on the instructor, and the little license plate cover in 4 years. But the books? Worth 40000 times what you'll pay.

    I've met some of the smartest dumbasses on earth. Folks so blinded by their education, that they're completely irrelevant in the process of which they've spent 6 figures on. Yet, the community college kid, who spent a few thousand to learn from the same text book, knows what he/she is doing, because failure doesn't have a backup plan. Just remember one thing... the formulas in that text book are no different if taught in Harvard, or Abooboo U in Abooboo, Uterkreanizastan.

    Ok, ok, you're right. So far my instructor is GREAT!! He's funny and a former VP from Land-O-Lakes - I'm going to learn a lot from him (I'm in the MBA program). While I'm not going to Harvard, I am going to a very good school (# 53 in the region according to US News & World reports school list for 2007 & 2008). Gotta go.... homework is calling. :)

  2. I tell ya, I had no idea this thread would turn out to be such a gold mine. I could spend the next 5 years with whatever vacation time I can find checking out all these fabulous tours. Thanks for all these tips and keep'm comin'. Some pics would be nice as well. I've got some of trips I took out east. I'll post some when I get some time to find them. Hey, LOC could publish a travel guide with all this info?

    Here's a post with some of my Pacific NW pics: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...mp;#entry275846

    A travel guide is a great idea! So many people in this forum have had great experiences - lots of info to share!

  3. I ordered my Finance text book from Amazon.com - through a private seller. The book was supposed to be here 2 days ago - I had paid for expedited shipping. The total cost was $117. I've contacted the seller twice - no response & no book yet. Sooo, I had to go to my school's main campus today - 1 hour away & buy the book at full cost - $173!! I have to have 2 chapters read & homework by Wednesday night & couldn't wait any longer. What makes this book $173?? Is it the knowledge I'm gaining? This had better be good..... :cries:

  4. If it was only last week you could have gone to the Tokyo auto salon. One trip i dream of going to . One day i will get to the auto salon and ship a container with parts and cars home . :(

    Wish i knew what to ask for but everything is available here so it would only be a bother.

    If you do get any VIP magazines , I would love them when you are done with them though.

    I saw the Auto Salon on a map today, but I'm seeing the touristy places like the Tokyo Tower and a cruise around Tokyo Bay.

    What's a VIP magazine?
