"I woke up in the mornin' with a spinnin' head..."

The beer definitely got the best of me last night. Going to try and not do that again. One funny thing to note about the party was the parking. The parking garage had low clearance and one of the vans kinda hit the ceiling once we got inside, and yes the driver did hit the clearance warning sign. It was remedied by putting all 12 people in the van to get it another 1/2"-1" lower and then slowly drive under the ceiling support while scraping the fiberglass roof. Anyways, back on topic, today was assemble the car day. Unfortunately on the drive over the bolt storage locker was not strapped shut and presto, everything ended up mixed up on the floor. It took a good 4 hours with two people to sort everything out inside a box in the sun...good hangover work, very simple to do. Besides, they had a good motivating poster.



Eventually back at the school we continue and are still working on it (currently 2:30am) because of starting/idling problems which we can't figure out the source of because the car was running fine before we boxed it up. The BA car on the other hand is probably running very well. It is quite a bit different from ours with the 92hp 4cyl engine and weight of around 475lbs. One thing about europeans is they are very image conscious and it shows on their car. Their steering wheel is the same as ours but it looks like it was taken off a show car. Little details are everywhere like some stainless buttons with a light up halo around them, a super nice cnc'd gas pedal with "kick it" machined into it. Their seat looks so amazing and super comfortable. Next year's car should be pretty amazing with all of our knowledge of vehicle dynamics and weight reduction and their practically bottomless pockets, electronics knowledge, and eye for style.
