This is the same dude who’s said multiple times he’d rather have a V6 Camaro than the SS because “only douchebags buy the SS”. I don’t need these kinds of people in my life.

Ford Day tomorrow, there will be a Le Mans spec GT on memorial mall.

He’s not entirely wrong there.

Kinja'd!!!

Thanks for the heads-up dude, had no idea. Wonder if that means they’re not taking MET majors...

Not at all, he’s actually right but for the wrong reason; he’s said the only thing he’ll considering when buying a new car is what people will think of him when they see him driving it. Not interior or ride quality or performance, just what other people think.

Bandit - destroyed his car > SVTyler

They won’t be.... I met with some of the recruiters tonight and they said they were probably not interested in techies. Sorry...

The rest of the ford cars will be on the engineering mall.

No worries man, thanks for the info. Might as well stop by anyways and check out the cars and see if they wouldn’t mind talking for a bit.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > SVTyler

I once had to make up all sorts of shit about a Mercedes SL600 to make it sound cooler because my friend was making fun of me for taking pictures.

Bandit - destroyed his car > SVTyler
09/06/2016 at 22:44

Yeah good plan. What year are you this year?

SVTyler > sm70- why not Duesenberg?
09/06/2016 at 22:45

A 500hp V12 wasn’t cool enough for them???

SVTyler > Bandit - destroyed his car
09/06/2016 at 22:57

Dude I’m a super-senior lol. I was technically undecided for the first two years here so I’m way behind on credits, but should graduate after three semesters depending on how my senior design classes line up.

You’re a junior now, right? Still doing FSAE?

Bandit - destroyed his car > SVTyler
09/06/2016 at 23:32

Nothing wrong with a victory lap, I’m doing one because the MSE department combined with my stupidity screwed me over. Yeah, junior now still in formula.

My wife still is both skeptical that fords can be cool fast cars and annoyed at how much I talk about the focus, fiesta, and old school ford Capri...

I’m beginning to wonder how many RS’s I might’ve seen and just brushed them off as a regular ST. I know I’ve seen one because it was that blue, but from the front it might be hard to tell a black car apart.

Vicente Esteve > SVTyler
09/07/2016 at 08:27

They are really striking when you first see them. I have seen two in Mexican dealerships in the city where I live, both blue.

09/07/2016 at 09:24

Apparently not

SVTyler > Bandit - destroyed his car
09/07/2016 at 16:27

Yeah seems like a lot of people take an extra year or so to finish up so at least we’re not alone in that. And that’s cool you’re still in it, I was going to try and join this year and see what I can do, maybe on composite team or something or wherever they just need people.

SVTyler > Vicente Esteve
09/07/2016 at 16:31

Striking’s a perfect term for it, I saw the blue from a street over and was like, “wait a minute...” This is the first one I’ve ever seen and it’s way better looking in person than pictures.

If you do ‘posites you’ll have to deal with me... but there are only three of us to do all the carbon work so we’re desperately looking for more people.

SVTyler > Flyboy is FAA certified insane
09/07/2016 at 16:37

Probably not that many, didn’t the RS only get released like a few months ago? And that’s what’s cool about the RS’s (and hot hatches in general) though, they’re kind of subtle in neutral colors so they can blend in pretty well when you’re not looking for them. The ony reason I noticed this one was the obnoxious blue paint otherwise yeah, it just looks like an ST.

SVTyler > Bandit - destroyed his car
09/07/2016 at 17:24

What kind of experience/skills are you all looking for? To be honest I have zero experience with carbon fiber or composites in general (MET’s more of a metal-working major it seems) but I’m more than willing to learn, especially if it’s an area of need.

Bandit - destroyed his car > SVTyler
09/07/2016 at 17:25

Zero experience needed, we just want people who are willing to learn and put up with the occasional dirty joke.

SVTyler > Bandit - destroyed his car
09/07/2016 at 19:30

If that’s the worst I have to worry about man I think I can handle it. Looking forward to joining, think they said at the call-out the orientation program is like six weeks or something so hopefully that goes by quick.

Bandit - destroyed his car > SVTyler
09/07/2016 at 19:43

Nah, that’s a bit obnoxious and not as applicable to composites. Come to our meeting tomorrow in the PHYS 223 at 6:30 and introduce yourself to the ‘posites team lead.

Vicente Esteve > SVTyler
09/07/2016 at 20:12

It is better looking than in pictures, not THAT much better looking (Like a Panamera) but it does make you do a double take.

SVTyler > Bandit - destroyed his car
09/08/2016 at 00:53

Sounds good, I’ll be there.

Bandit - destroyed his car > SVTyler
09/08/2016 at 18:55

We’ll probably be in the shop since this safety thing was unexpected

SVTyler > Bandit - destroyed his car
09/08/2016 at 19:28

Thanks for the heads-up dude, still got to talk to the team a little bit so it’s all good. Put composite on my sign-up sheet so hopefully I can get involved pretty soon after I fill out all the paperwork and stuff.
