here is our year long project... Mini Baja and Formula
i started out about 15 hrs a week. im now putting in well over 40hrs a week
i don't have to, but i want to win and i want to learn. there is no minimum requirement, but if you don't want to come out much, don't ask for a job or accept one that will and not finish it. or else one of us will and don't get pissed if we do. its just the nature of the beast
you get what you put into it, thats all there is to it. this is not for college credit hours, its all extracurricular.
and i remember you jordan, dont you have that laser?

when i started, i had only welded up an intercooler piping kit for a VR4. well, helped. now im welding frames together, bending and coping tubes, machining
all sorts of shit, making composite fenders, floats, primary guards etc.
still no master or expert by any means, but feel comfortable jumping into anything now

So let me get this straight...you are a freshman in college at USF for Mechanical Engineering working on the school FSAE car and work at the BMW dealership?
A year ago I'd swear that would be me in two. The only thing thats changed is that "S" into a "C" for me

no man, im a senior in Mechanical Engineering (just first year SAE), and i quit BMW last january. Shit, i can only imagine how shitty my social life would be had i stayed at BMW
i dont get out how it is
ill be in SAE all next year. i got my AA before i went to USF, then didnt do SAE my first semester because i didnt know about it. im trying to get the word out. today was fucking awesome, we had 5 new guys out, they all hammered shit out, i got the steering all coped up for the baja and laid a fender on the mold i made today. extremely productive day today

Good luck man, that sounds like so much fun! Also given me reason not to go straight to Fields BMW in college...I think I'll wait and enjoy college before jumping straight back into a job..
