azca Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 def need some English classes 2 cereal boxes!!! Must be Lucky Charms and Bunches of "Oh S#!ts" I think I'm going to keep feeding this troll until he pukes full of the cereal that I didn't when I got my 4 engineering degrees, 2 physics degrees, 2 masters, and 1 PhD in automotive technology and my 3 racing licenses I won from Gran Tursimo video games.. oh wait, that's all "approximate" to azca's G.E.D.

Underdog Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Someone check my math! I got 3.84 seconds using the quadratic formula and carrying out the decimals a bit. Still, don't make wild exaggerations and not expect to get called on it. Xenonk may or may not have an engineering degree but his experience can't be called into question. Experience > Book smarts. An acceptable margin of error is usually 5-10%, so you're saying it was actually 0.9-1.1 seconds? Because I do have a mechanical engineering degree and I'm calling BS on your claim. Either way, I'm glad you didn't get hurt. Drive safe and try to remember to keep a car length for every 10mph between you and the guy in front of you.

azca Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 Xenonk, no offense, but your ego is too much. I do have asian friends and I am used to it. There is no need to start a war here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 def need some English classes Yes, you definitely do. You didnt bother to capitalize the "D" in the beginning of your sentence and you just only typed out "def" because you didnt know how to spell the rest of the word. It must have been that much faster to just type out 'def' than 'definitely' because it would have taken 5 hours to type it all out.. it's "approximate".

dammitjim Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Braking distance quadruples with speed, period. So how fast can your car stop from say, 40mph? .25 seconds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azca Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 glad you found a dictionary Yes, you definitely do.

Xenonk Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 So how fast can your car stop from say, 40mph? .25 seconds? no no no, it's QUADRUPLE!! You got it all wrong, if it takes about second to stop from 75mph, then at 40mph it only takes 0.121 seconds!! Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but it's more like .250 if you include the time it takes him to downshift and start engine braking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Figured out the general area of where you live. I can be there in 5 hours. Just give me an address and I'll swing by to pick up my new car. Xenonk, I bet you are jealous that you don't have these super wheels that can stop you from 75 to 0 in 1 second. http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~azca/legacygt/PIC_0032.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
