I've played this game to death so am pretty much done with it, but it sure was fun to play with General Lee as my main car (well, not really as it's missing the Rebel Flag).
I didn't hate school, but it wasn't my favorite thing. I enjoyed being on the softball and basketball teams more than academics. That said, I ended up valedictorian of my graduation class. Every quarter, the coaches would go around asking grades to see if players were still eligible for the team, after about the second quarter, they stopped asking me. LOL.
When I got in high school I could have got better grades but couldn't afford college anyways so there was no incentive to work hard in class.
