so far it's been over a year since i started building my car. with the constant help of kojima it's getting closer and closer to being finished.
i picked the car up in june of 06. i had just transferred high schools in the middle of the year and had an F in math because the curriculums were completely different and since math builds off itself, i did not have the proper background. anyways i told my dad i would get a 3.0 no problem because i was doing well in all my other classes. he said there was no way so we made a bet. if i could pull of a 3.0 with an F in a class he would get me a racecar. end of the year and 3.2 =] (pretty damn good off the bat for a transfer student). he was really really pissed so i made up the class in summer school and he told me i better get an A and if so the deal was still on. A+ baby.
