Hmmm... McLaren did say they were building an "affordable" car right? (like in Porsche 911 territory?) I can't stop drooling over the exquisite engineering that is the MP4-12C and the F1. Waiting to see what they do in the future, because the 12C certainly has a bit of room to grow...

Hard Gay. He is anything but a random thought. He deserves his own thread.

We discuss and analyze media culture and how it relates to popular culture in various time periods. We watch films/tv shows every week and discuss the tropes and hegemonic representations that the film contains and how that same ideal is shown in history of that time period.

It's actually pretty cool, but you have to take lots of notes and do a lot of readings...

In this day and age, wouldn't it better just to record the class and only take important notes? It's been a while since last time I was in a class but back then we thought of recording the class using *tape recorder* as well...

Unless the prof has a no-recording policy.

If I were to just record the class, I would just end up sleeping through class and then never going back through the recording later.

Writing notes keeps me engaged and helps me remember the material. I don't even bring my computer to class to take notes, because I know I would just end up doing something else. So it's just a notebook and a pencil for me...

Also, I know the LFA isn't the fastest, or the best feeling Supercar. And it's absurdly too expensive because it's far too complicated, BUT

I STILL LOVE IT.

Recording is meant for a backup in case you realize that you did not catch the notes properly, but to each of their own.

@Dimman
Someone did a 1NZ swap into the MR2 Spyder already :O

He used a C60 trans though, I think it would've been easier to use something that bolted to the 1NZ directly. Of course, 5 speeds are less desirable. I think he had it turboed to 200hpish and then blew the motor. But at least he's got all the custom stuff intact.
