I am on financial aid as well but my father insists for me to drive one of his Jeeps to school most days so that I can fine tune his work and find any problems. I am kind of his Guinea Pig in a way but it is cool. My friends think that it is cool that I drive the modded Jeeps but some of the parents and teachers treat me like I need to be talked down to or I am not on the same level as them. Best thing is I brought my father’s ’93 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4X4 inline 6 with a set of 35s and a 2 and 1/2 inch lift kit today. It proceded to snow hard towards the end of the day which is not normal at all for Atlanta. The parking lot is on a major flood plain by a river and the river overflowed and had about a foot and a half of water on the fields and lot. Everyone was freaking out so I got in the Jeep, put it in FWD, and proceded to leave the school in a spectacular show of flying mud through the fields and onto the road. Try doing that in your AMG SL65 or Saleen.
Leg room was one of the issues that i had with the Ninja 250R. I have rather long legs so I did not want a bike that had somewhat cramped leg space. From what I am reading, I am leaning towards the 250 for price and just a great begginer bike. I do like the more vertical posture on the Ninja 650R compared to other bikes but I guess I will look into it later when I complete the MSF course.
