snow05gtRI Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 heh i went to WPI....it's a pretty good car show, right near where I lived. I could see it from the roof of my house until they put up a new dorm and it blocked the viewing angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaeGT Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 i graduated in '07. been to one and i had no knowledge of cars so all i could say was "cool~" maybe this year it will be different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow05gtRI Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 well seems like I might actually be going to this. I'm sorta planning on going to see The Dead in Worcester at the DCU center the same weekend, so I might be around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I did my freshman year at WPI (2000-2001)... did not enjoy it at all. This is really close for me, so I might be able to make it. However, coilovers are going in Saturday and I won't have time for a full detail. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 lol who cares if you arent fully detailed i'll probably show up dirty as hell if I do bring my car. there is a carwash about 1 minute down the street from there, look up ernie's touchless carwash near the address you'll see it. has the self-washing bays and supposedly a touchless wash. i tried to use the touchless wash last week but it was closed and the bays were open. yeah WPI was ok....I made it fun, that is for sure. that school doesnt just come with fun included.

2005hondakilla Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 the car wash is on grove street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 ever used it? Is the touchless actually touchless? It looked like you drive your car onto a rack and it pulls you along, which would be a no-no for AWD since they usually only clamp the front wheels. The only other touchless ones i've seen are the ones where it has big arms that move around the car spraying it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005hondakilla Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 you can do awd and it is all touchless. it doesnt clamp down on the tire it just pushes the tire with a roller. ive took my gf awd bmw in there and its fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005hondakilla Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 when u pull in just tell them not to brush your car off in the beginning and not a single thing is touched. and it does undercarge too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frat helped, but the "extra-curriculars" became my primary focus and I couldn't justify $3X,XXX/yr to goof off. I thank WPI SAE F1 team for pointing me in the right direction, but if I had never left I wouldn't have a formal education in both cars and mech eng. Anyways, we'll see how I'm feeling on Sunday. I guess I'm too self-conscious to show with a dirty car. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 ^yeah, I know what you're talking about with paying so much to do so little...btw incoming freshman this year have to pay $50,000 (a little over that)...thats tuition+room&board ...the tuition alone is probably about $40k. It's absurd they can charge that much for how little they offer... haha, it would be pretty bush league to show up with a nasty car to a car show i guess...unless you've been mudding, of course...

snow05gtRI Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 i completely forgot about this! I was in Worcester pretty close to it, too. though i didn't really get up till early afternoon so I would've missed most of it. how was it? it was a beautiful day outside for it, that's for sure.
