And its really hard to get a consistent finish reblueing a gun. I imagine it would be tough to do on a hood, unless you want the blotchy look.

Wrong thread.

I dont know, those look home made. A couple of the legs of those As look like they could buckle at the next nice bump.

I love it. Its not like your average 911 is that rare or unique. Its cool to see a variation on the slammed vw rat rod. I cant wait to see it done.

I always knew there was a reason that I hated Millenials, but it wasn't until I read this "Yet I recoil from the idea of buying one. Cars equal liability. Accidents are practically inevitable, no matter how well you drive. They cost more and more to own and maintain, and (electric or not) they defile the environment. And good luck parking one anywhere without it getting ticketed or towed." that I understood why. Really? accidents are inevitable? only if you are an idiot. You can't park without getting ticketed or towed? yep, you are obviously an idiot.

I have had 1 accident in 20 years, and guess what, it was a Millenial that sideswiped me because he had his head up his rear end.

Ive had one accident in the past 15 or so years of driving. It was also a Millenail rear ending me when I stopped for an emergency vehicle. That said its the old douches in the trucks that are always trying to run me over. Ive just been quick enough to not get killed so far.

As for weight, rolling resistance is pretty constant and easy to work out so they could figure that out and account for the added weight pretty easily.

Last I read about hacking cars was some attempts to wirelessly hack into ford sync stuff a few years back. As I recall their poo poo was pretty locked down. I want to say there was no physical connection between the infotainment system and the rest of the cars computers. But I'm probably wrong. Might just have been a solid firewall.

Huge grain of salt, I'm a mech e. Not a double e or soft wear guy.

The JCW ones do it from the factory. I like it, but also I'm damaged.

I love a good burble and pop but I loving hated the new JCW I drove. The burbles and pops sounded so mechanical and it was really boring to drive. A fiesta st is a ton better of a car.
