Jeebus christ, you sure you didn't take a couple year nap? Detroit's been a wasteland for as long as that tub of lard, Michael Moore's had a 'career'. You can buy homes out there for like $8000 :lol: Investors are buying them via phone, site-unseen. They already did something about it; they bailed out motor city :lol:

No shit Detroit's a wasteland. I'm in urban planning, I'm well aware of their situation, I watched Michael Moore's video about that. My point is they're finally doing something about it with their new redevelopment plan to destroy 3k vacant homes by the end of the year and replace them with 10k new homes by the end of the term.

MATLAB :blink: really?

I dont like matlab simply put. I don't have the program on my laptop so I can only study on campus. That and exams are written and I'm more hands on. I could do much easier using a computer to type out the code. Even if they disabled the prediction just seeing it in matlab format and in the matlab window helps. I'm a very visual person.

I would absolutely trade your wagon for mine, no questions asked. I love red wagons, period.

I wish I knew you needed the program. ;)

As far as written programming exams I totally agree. Fortunately my MATLAB exams were on the computer. I hate written programming exams but at least with C and C++ you can BS syntax which obviously the compiler helps you correct. But with MATLAB there is a lot less of the syntax. I dunno. What is your major? I'ma computah engineer.

ahh took matlab that class sucked. course was called compsci201. you really just have to keep doing it then it becomes trivial. just like solid works.

laugh.gif It will be at Carlisle, yes.

Short list ? Garage has some stuff, but here it is:

RICA tune (15 psi)

manual swap

Porsche knock-off big brake kit with SS lines

IPD sways front and rear

Apex Springs and Bilstein TC's

Interior is mostly stock but has 3rd row, integrated booster and iPod connector

Engine is stock LPT block with a new 16T (less than 2K miles)

3 inch exhaust, turbo-back with dual outlets

V70 handles all around, including trunk.

E-codes

Carbon fiber strut bar and engine cover

Yeah, come to think of it, I kinda like what I got.... laugh.gif

ooooo nice mods! dont get rid of it or trade it! pretty much most of the mods that i have or have in line... mine only has 90k on it though :ph34r: but in all honesty the only way i would ever get rid of my car is for a yellow wagon.

this is how she looked when i saw her last, lip-less and snow covered, parents kicked her out of the garage for a few days and i yanked the lip off because i was too nervous they would destroy it moving the car etc. haha

i cant wait to get home from school!
