When we were in high school, summer school consisted of an excruciating crash course through the vagaries of oxidation and reduction, memorizing the periodic table of the elements and setting magnesium on fire with bunsen burners while the teacher was speaking. For students at Washtenaw Community College near Ann Arbor, MI, summer school consisted of building a '70 Chevelle convertible with a 572 big block crate motor, A 4L85E four-speed autobox, four wheel discs and a beautiful PPG orange paint job. Our only real beefs with the car are the somewhat soulless interior and the choice in wheels. Otherwise, kids, you did a fine job, and we're betting it was a damn sight more fun than creating oxides of something or other while avoiding nitric acid burns.
