I was on the same shoes of IronMike.. Technical Director, Drivetrain Leader and Chassis Leader in 2008-2009.. Also, i've got an Appendectomy in late November 08 (that screwed things far from my first guess), and a gone brakes leader by February.. It was a particularly weak year, with few experienced members to work with.

Pretty much sums it all.. My academic and social life went on indefinite halt.. Until Michigan.

We managed to do a 27 without endurance, not bad given these conditions.

PD: Kinda funny to guide shop work from my home with messenger and a wireless keyboard just over a 50mm stitched scar..
PD2: Having part of the team visiting me at hospital, saying "don't die.. you still must write SEF and Design..."

A new member hops in the car and says...

"I'm not retarded but... Where's 1st?"

the whole time he was very hysterical, and five kinds of butt hurt that he wasn't the fastest driver and that we were going to harass him endlessly about " I'm not retarded... but where's first?"

-Having a similar subject to talk to the boss with at work. Easy waste of at least an hour.
-Wanting to punch solidworks in the face when you can't make the FEA work the way its supposed to.
-Wanting to turn everyday stuff into awesome projects like FSAE.

Similarly, I was the technical manager, chassis "team", suspension team leader, marketing "team", powertrain "team" and had my hands in nearly everything in the car. My social life and plans went to a halt and ended up with an anal fistula and 6000 EGP which the team owes both me and another team member and it seems that we'll never get our money back.

I've got Kidney stones soon i've ended my F-SAE involvement...

Far too much crappy food eaten on endless shop nights, far too much coke, far too much epoxy and wichever deadly stuff we happen to work with.

Now i'm bored
