ok since the headlight harness mess is figured out, now to design a simple harness with a sealed box to now put 3 relays and fuses into one nice simple clean harness to power the headlights and horns... that will be fun... because wire colors are a thing i take seriously.. and just one spool of 10 gauge TXL wire is 100 bucks be cause 250 ft is the minimum order... damn

i will be going with a GEP power block, 3 micro relays and 3 fuses.. horn draw a wee bit more than 20 amps. headlights on high a wee bit more than 25... so yea.

 

Show me what parts you’re looking for and I can check at my local junkyards if you want.

Thanks. Haven’t looked but I’m guessing it’s over $100

 

Some people just want to see the world burn.

Speaking of burning...

I lol'd hard af at this.

 

To make @Tundra2 feel a little better here's my 2 burning stories.

1. If you're cutting up jalapenos do it either while wearing gloves or AFTER you've put in your contacts. Nothing better than pepper spraying yourself at 9 in the morning.

2. If you find yourself in Nashville and eating hot chicken make sure you wash your hands before and after using the restroom.
Got halfway back to the hotel and thought my dick was on fire.

 

@Tundra2 ’saftey’ jogging to the restroom.

 

Nice! Whats the story on the two colors on the Headers?

 

Just an optical illusion I guess? Or different lighting/ contrasting backgrounds

 

How did the watermelon turn out?

 

Your Porting Work looks nice painted up. When is install?

 

I need to have my friend weld flanges on the new magnaflow cats and weld flanges on the straight pipe w o2 bung. But I waited around to long ordering and mufflers I wanted are special order, 2 weeks out. So I’ll get all my ducks in a row during that time.

 

That reminds me of the time I used full strength Dr Bronners peppermint soap! My entire body felt like it was smoking a menthol!

 

I am sorry you had to experience that, but I am so glad you shared!

 

"back when gas was cheap. Now it isn't"

Nice idea. Wonder why it never took hold? Saw a couple of my old cars in that video.

The dream isn't dead, just brought into the 2020's. Think electric.

 

They want some investors to send them money over to the USSR.

 

Now that's cool. That's an EV I would own. I would commute that thing to work in the summers, and I bet it's a blast to drive.

 

I like that it's taller. I've owned several short vehicles & while fun to drive, with so many trucks & suv's, they're a bit scary to drive. This unit is taller than the older GM unit as well as much more modern tech. I'd certainly give one serious consideration.
Of course I was hoping to own an air car, so my judgement may be a bit eccentric.

they were at ny Autoshow, had an importer 1 hour up the road from me. They were so close. Then great recession, cheap gas....
600 mile hybrid, or 125mile base unit for $7k. Would have been a good city car/commuter. I commute about 24 miles a day.

 

That's a cool concept. I still think I'd rather have the electric trike the Russians are working on, but it's neat to see the innovation. What I should really be doing is getting my fat a$$ on my bicycle and pedaling to work in the summers.

 

4 hour compressed air charge time off of your running gas powered compressor at the house for 125 miles drive in the feather weight van. Good ideas, but gasoline still wins the weight/power per unit of energy battle.

Nuclear Power is the real future. Fission/Fusion, but then we aren’t reliant on energy producers anymore which creates ‘their’ dilemma.

 

@NUDRAT Toyota has been working on stuff like that for years. Saw these in Tokyo around 2016


If course, I want the black one

 

You get the black one. I want the taller green one.
maybe I should just get a motorcycle.

 

The big issue I see to all these cool little vehicles is that they'll never meet safety standards. I'm honestly shocked that side by sides are allowed to be licensed in some states. That'll honestly be the most likely commuter solution for me, but I'm not sure the savings in fuel will pay for the registration fees.

 

This one is pretty cool too, except the color. I found it pretty comfortable to sit in.





Comes dtandard with drilled rotors and Yokohama tires too

 

That's not bad. And it's an EV, right?

 

I hope we see some more basic EV retro fit fits show up at reasonable prices.

 

EV?

 

Electric Vehicle. The Electricity comes from...
