Hey guys,

Just wanted to share some pics I took with my new phone in my autoshop at school. It's a 2-hour period and we mostly don't have anything to do, so here they are:

Yup, that's what we do. The celica is mine, and the Stang and Supra are my friends'. We bring in our cars and work/break them. Just not allowed to do lowering or lifts because they say they don't want to be repsonsible for any crashes we get into due to the installed lowering components.

Otherwise we can do whatever we want. Lots of go-carts and kit cars being built right now. I'll snap some pics tomorrow. I'm repainting my dash in the class right now, since I have nothing else better to do right now.

I took auto shop when I was in high school...unfortunately I wasn't into cars at all back then. Would be cool to be able to do work on your car in a garage with lifts and all the power tools you need. :)

I think i'm going to take an auto class over at the local community college after i'm done w/ my current univ.
I had a buddy of mine who did that and told me it was worth every penny. At the time they were haveing him completely rebuild a chevy 350.

Well for colleges offering auto classes, there's Chabot and Las Positas colleges, both offering very good automotive programs. There's a place in Fremont that does BWM training which incorporates an automotive program as well. They're all relatively cheap. These pics are just from my high school auto class.

Yup, his parents payed for his car. He has also had a CF hood fly up on him, got into two accidents, and has gotten his license suspended for 30 days due to speeding over 100mph. His car is just bad luck. I wouldn't take it for free.

I would not blame the car....perhaps the nut between the steering wheel and the seat.
