The fact that I got in my lungs more carbone fiber than a football player got creatine in is muscle.

Memories of being a first-year team member:

-Working in the shop for 20 hours as a freshman to turn down a huuugge part, only to finish at 2:00am, lose track of measurements, and take one unnecessary pass at 2:02 to epically bone the part as a whole.
-boning so many parts as a freshman that upperclassmen asked me to stop...
-Being offered the Sanding and Polishing group leader position because my part making was so bad.
-getting ambitious to finish a part and breaking off a drill bit inside of it.
-screaming mills
-screaming lathes
-screaming upperclassmen
-angry italian project managers
-racing teammates to and from every hardware store, eatery, and group outing, for no apparent reason other than to win.
-waking up at 6AM on Saturdays and Sundays, at my own pleasure and will, just to watch 2-3 upperclassmen test and tune the car.

OMG...

I couldn't tell if that thread was a joke or not.

I love SAE because of the feeling I get after blasting the car up the road by the shop.



^that feeling^

being the club that does burn outs on the fresh concrete on the mall during homecoming and having to write an official apology to the school.

wow coastertrav, im not sure about your school, but if a faculty member or someone of authority from my school saw a picture like that, the risk management and insurance people would have a field day ripping us a new one.

This is a link to my hands down favorite thread of all time.

The kid was so embarassed that he changed his username, and the title of the thread to ...

Read the whole thing, people just straight tear him a new one, making fun of his myspace info and the whole nine yards. Every powertrain guy can get a good laugh out of the kid's logic too.

As far as I know that picture was taken on a windy day after I was pushed down the road by some other team members...

Naps on the creeper

-Using tap magic as a cologne before you head out to the bars

-the shop supervisor threatening to shut down every machine in the shop (at least once a week)

-disposing of magnesium chips (the fun way)

-3 a.m. burnouts on campus to check if you actually fixed your transmission problem.

-the cops blaring the stars wars theme through their loud speakers as they came to see what we were up to.

Thats why

I started reading this thinking, wow, this sounds a lot like some of the things we've done at our school. Then I read the last one and realized, yep, that's us.

Spinning out just after the finish line, and having no one believe that it was actually unintentional...

From the lead-up, I was expecting to see something like this:

Nice save after the finish, BTW.....

No the specs aren't Z87 rated..
