It is interesting how they put these cars together. The interior panels all seem to overlap one another, so you can't necessarily just take off one panel, you have to take off two or three. Sadistic bastards.

Be glad you're not working on a german car. I struggled for a few hours to put back the trim panels which hold the overhead upholstery.

Hmm, couldn't disagree more. BMW's are the easiest by far. Basically no manual or schematic necessary as theyusually just make sense. Japanese shit is a fuck show and American in between. Fucking GM is horseshit as the panels tend to explode if you put any force on them.

Errm, I forgot the slight detail that my comment was based on the 06 Passat experience

I bet she likes bass.

What

Congrats lithium.

Congratulations!!

thanks!

What did I miss? You get a new job or married or something?

graduating with a BS in physics next week.

That's badass man. Congrats!

thanks mang

So when I start my phy classes I'll start PMing you. Muahahahaha.

Just kidding.

haha as long as it isn't QM, fuck that stuff

Nah I only have to take two or three basic classes--thankfully.

Congrats! I graduated with a Doctorate in BS.

haha, thanks.

4 inches of snow so far. It took me 5 minutes to install the studded wheel in the front of the bike and then I took it for a test. It's absolutely brilliant, brakes work, grip is great, if I hit a snow drift at speed it doesn't want to slide around like with a non-studded wheel.

All in all a very well spent $20 and 2 hours of work.

Now if I could find a knobby tire for the rear it would be great.

What size knobby do you need? In the winter I run chains and studs usually, but play on ice a lot.

VW is the GM of Europe. Cheap bullshit. 06 was particularly bad.

Good choice. Didn't realize there was another Physicist on board.

My undergrad was a BA though, rofl.

Ha, I'd rather do QM than E&M but it is a close 2nd.

Looking for a cool knife ($30-$50) for my fiances dad. Any suggestions?

I'm a Gerber fan.

Also looking for some nice flashlights for my groomsman that I'll get engraved for them. Thinking about getting the same Fenix light I have (around $75)

I like Kershaw Blur or chive, don't remember which the s70v blade I think.

I respectfully disagree. Almost completely I might add. With the work I do, I am disassembling a lot of interiors, too.

If they aren't tech or flashlight folks, look at AA battery ones. I like Fenix e21 model.

i'm a bit biased as my E&M professor took it easy on us, perhaps too easy. though the page long derivations in QM were pretty insane.

I started out in a 3+2 program ME program (3yr at small state school and 2yr at Penn State) but i lost interest and switched to a straight physics degree. Penn State tuition would have easily double or tripled my loan debt anyways.
