While not so young as some of the others (27 right now), here're my currents:
'81 (Vortec'd 350, Saginaw 4-speed)

'78 (still a roller after 15 months )

'92 C1500 Sierra (4.3/4L60)

Yeah, I screwed myself over, my teac. is good, but I didn't really try at the beginning of the class, but as I'm sure you know, everything builds on the basics so I kind of have to relearn everything. I'm def. going to re-take calc in college though. got to go, my parents will be home from work soon :lol: . I'm addicted to this forum. :lol:

I did the same damn thing to myself last semester in Calc I!!! Limits are pretty easy to learn, but once you start getting into differentiation, you are screwed if you don't do all your homework. So.. Uhh.. Yeah... I am taking it again this semester (and hopefully not again the one after!). I just hope the new paint and my renewed enthusiasm for my car won't distract me too much from doing my homework. It's so damn hard to concentrate on homework when I have a car and parts begging me to combine them into one cohesive whole.

No kidding man. I do all my homework but I end up bombing the tests for whatever reason. The teacher ain't that great so I'm not holding my breath for her to change. It is really hard to concentrate or even do hw when you have a 80 malibu is a daily driver show car and a 71' Roadrunner project that is worth 60-80k restored. No I wont sell the 71'

My problem is not the teacher. She's great. The problem I have is that I have class at 8:30am and I don't get home from work until after midnight. By the time I wind down and fall asleep, it is after 3am. Not nearly enough time to get a good night's sleep. I did work out an arrangement though for my next test. She is going to send it to the test taking center at the college where I can take it any time that day. So, I can get some sleep and some extra study time in before taking it. Hopefully, I will pass it this time.

I'm a senior fixing to graduate this year but I'm taking Calculus AB AP. I've been accepted to UT and Texas A&M. If I'm not accepted to the Naval Academy, then I gotta pick between the aggies or the longhorns lol. Go figure I have to choose between rival colleges.

I am in a local college right now, but am hoping to transfer to the University of South Florida in a semester or two if I can get in. It is close enough that I can commute there from where I live, which is a plus because it would otherwise be too expensive.

What do you plan on doing after college and what are you majoring in?

 

[85 Cutlass Brougham]

Mechanical Engineering is what I am trying to major in. What I will do depends on how things turn out in the end. I originally wanted to work in the automotive field, but am having second thoughts. Right now I am just doing basic things in school to get all of that out of the way.

 

[patmckinneyracing]

I was planning on doing Aerospace engineering but was informed it is one of the hardest majors in college and plus my SAT's didn't meet the standards in order to enter the engineering college. But once I'm in college, I'm sure it'll be easier to get into the engineering field. For now, my choice is a political science major. I plan on becoming a Navy pilot and if that doesn't work, then I can use the Poly science major as a backup in order to become a Navy lawyer or JAG officer.
