hahaha sorry man, I suppose I'm the culprit here. I ban myself from your thread until I can congratulate you about your 1/4 mile/400m pass!

The metric system is much better IMO. 1,2,3,4,5,etc.

SAE= 1/8th,1/4,1/2,9/32's, etc....everybody knows from school that fractions suk

I'll be honest here. Using measurements in construction and carpentry, I consider SAE the way to go, down to the 64th if necessary. For instance, say you're dividing measurements. It's far easier when half of 3/8 is 3/16, and quarter of it is 3/32. Now, metric. Half of 7mm is 3.5mm, and quarter is 1.75mm. I'm sure most disagree with me here, but I'm sticking with my preference here. btw, I'm handy at math, so that may be another factor. :p

But sticking up for Americans, How we all would normally call a drag strip "1/4 mile" what would it be if it was metric :shock: wouldnt have the same ring to it :lol:

It's 400 meters. 0 to 400 meters sounds okay.

[kellen302]

agreed, all of metric is better, except we keep the mile for long distances

Good to put some km's (miles) on it anyhow.

miles are bad for me and my car... last time i put miles on it i got stopped at the boarder and got asked a bunch of questions... as soon as i got across and put some kilometers on it i felt better and my car started running better lol jk...

That is, that "we" Canadians use! NOT "us" Canadians........

The way you can check, is take out the word "Canadian" and see if it sounds fine then.

You would not say "us use the metric system" you would say "we use the metric system".

All in fun though, as I really dont care, lol.
