Things I love about Formula SAE

[Mikey Antonakakis]

-finding metal in my clothes
-finding metal in my hair
-finding metal in my skin
-all of the above, but for fiberglass, bondo, etc
-the nice farmers tan I managed to get from spending so much time in our shop, four floors underground
-soap with pumice (and acetone/gasoline for those tough stains)
-the way I smell
-the fact that my girlfriend is still putting up with me (nevermind, I now second whoever's signature that says "SAE: when you just can't get rid of a girlfriend)
-getting to the shop in the morning... and leaving in the morning
-not knowing what day it is
-my grades
-the lung cancer I probably already have
-the girls (oh wait....)
-the good friends I've made, and will have for the rest of my life

Feel free to add to the list

-Listening to senior members say "You don't even know. Back when I was a freshman..."
-Telling freshmen "You don't even know. Back when I was a freshman..."
-Skipping class tomorrow to test on a karting track
-The blank stares I get when I tell people that I'm on the school race team. "We have a race team?"
-People asking if I'm on the go-kart team.
-The people that come in our shop and ask if we'll fix their car, truck, motorcycle, scooter, moped, bicycle, skateboard, rollerblades, lawnmower, weedwhacker, ATM, jet turbine, computer, and a few more I can't think of. And all of those have happened at least once.

- The weird looks i get from people when i walk from the machine shop to our office with random parts. (4 tires around each arm, half-welded exhaust, uprights, a-arms, etc.)

I got a nautical themed pashmina afghan...

-I love never being satisfied with a design and just going damn it that will have to do.
-Brake cleaner, they should sell it as an acne treatment.
-Picking up hot steel with holey welding gloves and burning your fingers.
-Seeing the crazy things newbies do and going wtf what were you thinking (having done similar things when I was a newbie).

Cheers

If you're on the shore, then you're sure not me.

- Having mates who graduated years ahead of me with A's ringing and asking my help for their jobs.
- Looking at our first car and going "shit it still runs"
- Not going to class, get assignments after they are due, busting a all nighter and getting over 80%
- Falling asleep: On the chassis table, on the ground next the car, leaning on the lathe tool post, on the toilet, at the traffic lights, while driving, welding, etc.
- Having my mail redirected to the workshop.
- +1 on the friends
