Yes, he did turn out OK. He got his degree plus a masters degree and works for the Defense Intelligence Agency and is assigned to a position in Hawaii.
So, juniorrr , good luck with your studies -

Did he go back after and get that racing steering wheel though? Brakes are useless if you aren't going fast, and that racing component adds more powa.
