A jack-of-all-trades. The man's an Air Force Instructor who can fix your transceiver, weld your car, and operate on your leg.

Now, that's diversity.

I wish you well, Anthony. Come home safe, my friend.

I am now proficient in adding and subtracting written numbers in Finnish between yksi and kaksikymmentä (one and twenty). Thank you, Internet, for this useless skill.

Well, it's got the HP to make up for the .03 CD difference.

It's not the raw DC that matters. It's more important how efficiently it's used to make the car more stable. In other words a car that creates more downforce or is more stable, but has a slightly higher DC is still aerodynamically superior as a performance car. These cars have a low DC because it's better for gas mileage just like the Prius or insight lol.

So the whole class laughed at me today - for saying something stupid and the teacher showed me up(he didn't laugh at me, just proved a valid point-government/political stuff about ACA. And so very true)
But yeah I felt bad, but than I realized a lot of things, that I won't say over the Internet and sound like a evil conceited motherfucker haha. But yeah I don't care anymore about what those kids/adults think
