i've wanted to be an ME ever since...i dunno, i was...10? 12?
whenever Junkyard Wars FIRST aired. that got the gears turning in my conscious. sub consciously i've wanted to be an ME since i was like 6. Apparently when i was little, i would always daydream during class (private school with an open learning type method) and i was sitting there playing with walnut shells, and had managed to somehow chip them away into a hinge. With lego's, i would rarely build what was in the instructions even once, and build anything i could, and with k-nex, i would build crazy hands that i could manipulate with my own fingers (this is when i'm like 6 or 7)
now i'm constantly modifying paintball guns, and designing outrageous things (like a mutual twin turbine engine, where the exhaust from one powers the intake of the other, it should work, i just need to find big turbos and find a way to machine it)
but i'm at a road block. no money for school right now.
