I predict that this year's car will weight 390 lbs. Or more. Or less.

In response to someone having a problem...
"You know to deal with that, need to take a drink of a big tall glass of MAN THE **** UP!"

Solution seems easy enough.

Financial Controller: "The budget is done!"
Project Manager: "So how much have we spent"
Financial Controller: "I dont know"

'I didn't know what they were for on the last car, so I just made random holes'

'That's a bit sad.' - A wheel just shattered and exited stage left, quickly.

'Whose fault is that? Suspension!'

Pullin' a "Cory"....when you go just a little too deep


20 min Break at 1:00 am to calculate how much money I can make next year while pooping...

As far as I know there was none... but it was followed by "well, based on the Ocarina of Time they can generate lift, but not enough for flight"

"There is nothing sexier than a stiff break pedal!"

Said after finally finding the culprit behind our soft pedal

I was just reminded of one of our very best, said by a fellow teammate in scrutineering during FSAE Italy 2011, while arguing with a scrutineer about our pushbar mounting: "I can push the car from here to Parma with that pushbar!"

About that time again:

"Jiggly Balls!" - term called out to warn when sparks or bright welding light are gonna flood the workshop.

Discalimer: We always check that people have actually responded to the call and use a more appropriate term if people are present that are likely to be unfamiliar with this one.

Team captain~"Why the hell did you order an industrial size bag of packing peanuts?"

Underclassman~"Because they were on sale."


EE~ "What do you think of converting our car to an automatic?"

ME~ "I think I want to hurt you right now..."

While tapping the threads in a hole that I knowingly drilled with an undersize tap drill:

First year: "I'm gonna let you do this, I don't want to ruin your hole."

Me: "...and that's what I said to her!"

#facepalm by both of us.

"Is there supposed to be smoke coming from your pedal box?" - Phil Laird (While dynoing our car)

After our electric car was completely burned down and rebuild at the Italian comepetition:

Some guy from Zürich: "Who the hell had the nerves to take pictures of your burning car."

Our technic lead: "Well, all fire extinguishers were already empty and I got bored while it was still burning..."

I can't count the number of times I've been wearing an SAE shirt and have someone come up to me and say, "Oh mugawd, you're in Sigma Alpha Epsilon? What chapter?"

We had a member come in one day and say some school got their Formula program shut down because of a crazy party. The next day he came back and was like "Oops that was SAE the frat. I guess the crazy party was a giveaway that it wasn't formula."

"Stainless steel zip ties!? That's hot."
