Lip service

Yesterday, put on my 'new' euro front lip thats been sitting around for a whole semester already. Its essentially bout an inch and a half longer then the stock US spec lip and just gives the car a lower look from the front. Essentially all it took was just pulling off the old lip and putting the new one on just by snapping it in. I realise how the hell the old lip developed a crack... when i was pulling it out...it started to bend right there...and when i took the lip out in its entirety, i saw that the modification needed to fit the euro lip had already been done. SO it just means that the previous owner already had a euro lip on the car but took it off when he sold the car to me. And when he was pulling the stock lip off, he wasnt being careful and ripped it up a little. No surprise there but everytime i discover one of his little 'handyworks' i just wanna shove my foot in his ass.

On the other hand, my senior design project just took another turn. Seems like we're completely scrapping the personal transportation system. Right now we might be doing a hoverboard...as in the kind from Back to the Future! Sounds real cool, but also VERY challenging. Im not sure if my instructor will be as keen on doing it now since i just googled it and pple are already mass producing this kinda idea and selling plans for doing it as well. Essentially the way i see it is as a mini hovercraft with a leafblower engine to inflate the skirt. Im not being a pervert when i say im blowing up a skirt....the rubber part that holds the air to give the craft lift is called a skirt.. just in case someone tries to be a smart ass. Maybe this blog for this sem at least can serve as a update portal for the project. Hopefully ill be able to keep a good photodiary as well. But our first meeting on this project is going to be at Jakes..a local drinking hole...so maybe ill get to have some fun while doin the project too.
