Working a side job? Relaxing? Teaching? Home projects? What are you up to?

I replaced the front struts with Monroe a year ago. They suck. When going over any time of road surface where the wheel has to go down, it SLAMS down.

I want to switch to OEM. Unfortunately the full assembly part has been discontinued. I don’t feel comfortable installing a spring myself. I’d also prefer not to pay someone to do it all. Should I just suck it up and pay the money for someone to do it?

Should I start with replacing the mounts and go from there?

What should i do

Anyone taken this exam? Any tips?

I am studying for my paramedic program of choice (Applicants are picked solely on the entrance exam. There are 25 spots, and last year 300 people applied.)
Right now, I’m bouncing between the book, youtube videos, and pocketprep (depending on which source I find best for the specific topic i’m studying).
I’ve heard from previous applicants that it’s similar to the final EMT exam that the same school had, but a little harder. One applicant said there were questions like “Which answer best describes the process of how the body transforms glucose into energy” and he had to guess because the answers seemed way out of his knowledge.
I guess I’m asking if there’s anything specific you guys think I should really focus hard on in my studies.

I’m absolutely sure it would taste like the most garbage thing in the world, but hypothetically, could it be done?

I've heard that quotes are really just for the first term to get you into the company, then after that it hikes up. I'm 20M and I'm getting quotes for moderately nice cars for 1500-2000 per 6 month term. I don't think this would be accurate. I did a quote for a 2017 mazda miata and i got quoted $1500 for 6 months full coverage. This seems astronomically cheap for my age. I feel like it would jump up crazy after the term is over
