Is a day off really a day off? This semester I get Wednesdays off. Today's post is a bit nerdy, but oh well, you can stop reading if nerdy isn't your thing. I started my day by doing my review homework on bearings, which I actually didn't mind. I liked learning about the different types and how to go about servicing them. This evening I decided to play some Gran Turismo 5, which explains the top right and bottom images. I bought the collector's edition, which came with the book you see. I am glad I have it. It has come in very handy in the game and it has taught me about different aspects of cars and how different components affect the way a car operates. The bottom image I took in game. It is a 2006 Alfa Romeo 147 I bought and modified today. After squeezing 304 horsepower out of it and dropping its weight to 1060 kg I wanted to improve it's already decent handling. The book provided exactly the information I needed to tweak the handling. Today was a productive day off.
