    YATicketT - But for merging this time.

    Hi guys, I've read some of the speeding ticket threads here in the past just out of interest ... but lo and behold I get thrown into a similar situation. I was recently in an accident while merging from a surface street onto a highway (going south). There are two versions of the accident, what...

    Name that football player.

    In aerodynamics you have Yaw, Pitch, and Roll angles. My professor for this class said he remembers that order of the angles because of the sequence YPR. Apparently there was some famous football player back a long time ago who was a kicker for a team and his last name started with YPR. Anyone...

    Any coaster enthusiasts out there?

    I'm planning some trips to various coaster parks around the midwest and looked online for more information about some of the parks when I came across several coaster enthusiast groups. Anyone on AT in any coaster enthusiast clubs? I'm thinking about joining up because many places will offer you...

    We are having the roof of our house replaced and I'm going insane!

    Do you live in Michigan? I know a guy that does roofs with his crew of Mexicans. Although, that might just be the norm in the roofing industry.

    Gumball 3000

    Wow, never heard of this before. Looks quite fun though. I'd imagine it would be pretty sweet to roll through some cities through the southwest and run from the cops on the desert highways. You would go into town, make a right turn without a blinker in front of a cop, and have him light you up...

    Ok.. ATOT.. used cars for $15-16K? **EDIT PIC!**

    Quick question here, how do you guys go about finding loss leaders? At first I had no clue what they even were, but after a little bit of research I found that out, but can't really see how you "find" loss leaders. Seems more like something you would stumble upon. Or, somehow you would have to...

    Tommorrow is April 7, and yet there will be snow...

    No school? Lol. My freaking school has its own power plant to run the entire campus in case of a regional blackout. They haven't closed the school in years, even when other schools in the region close, they keep the classes rolling. Ah, I miss the days of high school :(

    Haha I'm a loser.

    As a senior I was asked by one junior girl and one senior girl to go to my senior prom, but I turned them down because I was just going with a group of friends. It's fine not to have a date, I never even thought about asking anyone because I was just gonna go hang out with a couple of friends...

    Spring is here,official exercise and diet thread!

    Started the first weekend of spring break, Feb 21st I believe. Running a fast paced jog for about 20 min and then weight training for another hour or so. Been gradually upping the running and I joined up with a couple running buds to run around the countryside/town. We've been doing 4 to 5 miles...

    Working @ UPS: Week 1

    Not to rain on your party, or to seem like some flamer, but lol @ $14/hour at your 5th year. I would hope that someone with some minor skills going into college should be able to find a starting $10/hour job right away and then hopefully be making as close as possible to $20/hour during their...

    credit cards : why are people so stuck on "evil CC companies!" (and some Qs)

    Since we're on the CC topic, lemme ask a question. I recently made a purchase for something online via PayPal using a credit card. The purchase received was not of the same quality as the purchase advertised. So, I contacted the seller about a refund, but as I suspected they refused any refund...

    Have you ever gotten the look from the supermarket cashier?

    One morning after I went to the gym at 6 am for a workout and I stopped off at the supermarket afterwards to pick up some stuff for breakfast. I grabbed a package of bacon, a carton of eggs, and 4 tomatos. The lady ringing me up said full heartedly, "Looks like someone's gonna be eating some...

    USPS Priority: Do you think the package will be shipped in One day?

    My dad ordered some stuff online on the 18th with the fastest shipping possible, so that it would be delivered a day, maybe 2, maybe 3 days later. Everything finally arrived on the 30th. So much for fast delivery from USPS :P -

    Official ATOT Hangover Thread!!!

    3 Smirnoff Ice 3 Mike's Hard Lemonade (lol) First time drinking more than just a glass of any alcoholic beverage, and I feel fine. No hangover here. And I guess no hard liquors probably helps, besides the fact that they mostly taste like lighter fluid or something :disgust: and I would never...
