Thanks for stoppin by!

I just hope I can buff most of it away - the bumper isn't cracked.



No note, but thank you anyway for not being able to drive - I really appreciate when people hit my car. Feel free to do it again sometime . Happened today while in the parking garage. If you see a white car with a red scrape on it's right hand side let me know. One good thing - I work for parking services, which gives me plenty of time to look at cars.

Im going to go to a meeting tomorrow night (thursday) about the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). We're looking to start a chapter here at JMU, and I knew there would be a good deal of interest from our motorsports club. Knowing CJ, who is the sponsor of the club, I'm sure she plans on taking the club in a direction more towards alternative fuel technology. But, I'd like to find a way to have some collaboration between the clubs.

Anyway, the meeting will be at dave's downtown at 5, I'll probably get there late cause I may be at dynamic aviation in bridgewater till 5. Let me know if anyone is interested.

MM world in/near Harrisonburg:

I'm painting a new grill for my car tonight. I have some left-over black paint from when I sprayed my engine bay, but I don't have any clearcoat. Would anyone happen to have a couple extra mL's laying around that I could have? I hate to get a whole pint just for this little grill, when one fill of my small spray gun will cover it nicely.

If so, hit me up. Thanks!

Tell me if any of you are selling a set, upgrading or know if someone else is. Cause my E30 needs some! And if you happened to have E30 mounting brackets.... well that's asking a lot eh?

So I wonder, would you buy a car that wasn't glossy off the dealership floor? That wasn't painted at all? That had completely plastic skin with the color impregnated into it?

I'm not asking if you like the styling of this late '90's concept, but is it "shiny" enough for you?



image stolen from here, more info too if you never saw this concept car. Its skin was unpainted PET plastic and actually had a nice metalic shine to it when I saw it in person:

I've just always wondered why we hang on to the notion that a good looking car has to be shiny. It just seems silly to me that we try to maintain a gloss finish on something that will meet shopping carts, door dings, road salt, tar, bugs, rocks, fender benders, I'm sure you see what I mean. Obviously, there have been other prototype cars with the same idea, and unpainted plastics are already on the road and making their way into more vehicles. But they are often grey and part of a two tone scheme, ie, the Honda Element.

But unpainted plastic doesn't have to be dull grey, it can have a luster and a color and I would LOVE to have a car that was wrapped in it. Keeping it clean would be much easier, it would last longer and stay just as nice, chips would be un-noticeable, and it would cut way down on production costs, hopefully reflected as a savings to the customer.

So why hasn't a manufacturer run with the idea? Would you WANT a car that had a trouble free exterior even if it wasn't as glossy as a nice paint job? I'd like to know.

silly question, I'm bored. Just curious if annyone can beat the $50, 3 man, 3 hour enduro karting event I'm going to in Charlotte in a few weeks. That's 83 cents a minute if I can actually last an hour (I pray that's not a solid hour!!).

Certianly tops a driver's school at around $2.5/min (not including fuel, wear, damage)

or an autocross at around $8/min

FREE events don't count. Whatchu got?
