Thread: First Annual Florida SE-R Convention

i'll be keeping an eye on this thread as the dates get ironed out.

Andreas: Did u wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Im with Super X, never seen u own anyone like that ever. You must of broke out the TI-86 for this one. lol

This thread is 1 week old. Give us a few more weeks to get everything lined up please. Once we do we will ask for donations for the event.

Not quite my good man. Please hear me out....



TI-86 is outdated. TI-89 ownz

Dre, one thing is to calculate something, another thing is to actually do it. As engineers, we recognize that when we design a set of plans, the reality of it is, a good chunk of it doesn't end up on the finl as-built plans. In orther words, designers will design a piece of roadway but the real question is, the constructability....can it be built?

I'll entertain you mathematics for the fun of the discussion.

For example, I drive from exit 12 (Caribbean BLVD) on the FL Turnpike to exit 62 (Commercial Blvd.) EVERYDAY to work. The exit numbers correspond to the mile markers so 62-12 = 50 miles. I'll tack on another 4 miles due to the side streets onto the TPK & off which is right on the dot with my odometer...total 54 miles from my driveway to parking spot at work.

I drive the TPK at 80 MPH; no traffic @ 6 am. It takes me exactly 60 mins to get to work. I am going on 15 months on this routine. Plenty of sample time.

With that said, at 80 MPH, it should take me 40.5 mins. to travel 54 miles.
80x = (54*60) --- x = 40.5 min. Right?

Can you please explain to me why it takes me an extra 19.5 min. to reach my destination???? I'll do you the favor Dre. You left out a couple of variables in your equations, Dre. Acceleration, deceleration, lights, toll plazas, & other vehicles. Because I travel 80 MPH doesn't mean I was actually traveling 80 MPH. Those variables affect the total time depending on total distance. If you drive 2 miles, you have a chance of being more accurate with those mathematics forumlas. If you drive many miles, the accurancy starts going out the window.

You are an extremely smart man Dre, so you should know what the difference between mean & median is, correct? Ever looked at a distribution table?

Dre, I know the distance it takes. My job consist of driving / designing / constructing on all state roads from Broward County to Indian River County (next 4 counties up from Broward). Driving to Moroso is almost an everyday thing for me.

I love you Dre

Manny > Dre

My head hurts... Ima go design something... Maybe a flier or something... lmao

Moroso isnt far lets just go...

Enough with the mumbo jumbo, who cares how long it takes to get to Moroso, just go!

Its taken me over 2 hours from North Miami to Moroso after work, traffic sucks some times.

Moroso is exactly 50 miles from my front door. I only live about 5 miles from commercial and the turnpike. This means that Moroso is almost exactly 110 miles from Manny.

Well come and put your money where your mouth is.

It takes me 1 hr 20 mins from my house to Moroso on Sat. I can tell you that there is exaxtly 3 lights from my house to 95. 3 lights to get to the Beeline and 4 lights on the Bee Line to Moroso.

Lets do alittle more addition it takes 30mins from my house to Wills house and it it said by Will that it takes 50 mins by Will himself to get to Moroso. When you addd that up that is Wala 1 Hr and 20 mins

You start to do a little drinving for 1 year and you use that as an example. I have been doing that type of driving for the past 15 years and you know that, my job covered Miami to West Palm Beach, so get of you high horse.

Consider this before you had your drivers liscence you what type of work I did and at the same time was making that same trip to Moroso.

This meet is to be held on a Sat or Sun. No Traffice in the morning when we go and that is the time.

If you want you can meet me here at my house at 9 am and we will put your figures to the test. I just delivered a 200SX SER to the port of West Palm Beach to ship the the Caribbean for my brother and it took me 1hr to so.

Lets do it and bring money,

rofl you guys are a hoot.

this sounds like it would be fun !!!
