    Way back in the 80s I worked at a place that used carbon fibre for its strength (re-enforcing armatures used in "shakers"). Autoclaved to ensure all set up properly. Did not always work. Carbon fibre is hygroscopic - leave it on the shelf for a while with any level of humidity and it absorbs water. Carbon fibre with a built in water content is actually weaker than fibre glass. Is this still true? I seem to remember a super-maxi yacht that lost its carbon fibre re-enforced keel, and they could not figure out why?

    Protecting metal from rust is not rocket science. Convert the surface with a brush on oxidiser; brush on zinc undercoat, then brush on Hamerite. You could probably do the whole chassis for the cost of one or two cans of that fancy stuff. Simple.

    1. Come up with hypothesis: "Flush door handles might reduce drag" 2. Don't bother testing it, go straight to implementation. 3. Bad design introduces a multitude of problems. 4. Spend years refining design over countless iterations. 5. Tesla motors club forums still filled with people who can't open their car door.

    "Wiggle the drill while cursing liberally " We have all been there !! I just bought a $1,000 flat rack for my 2015 Grand Cherokee that sits 2 3/4" out of level higher in the front. It's useless. The manufacturer says " that's how it's supposed to be" . Now getting ready to build my own.

    You forgot to say that Ferdinand Porsche, in agreement with Hitler, stole the design for the first Volkswagen from the Czech Tatras. The Tatra model T-87 is a vehicle that Porsche copied to make the VW type1 later called the Beetle. What the Germans did to the Czechs, the Chinese are now doing to them. Karma is a bitch.

    i've been kicking around the idea for a project where i make a fiberglass unibody gokart. i have the "top half" basically done already and all i need is to make all the important parts with the critical geometry and then glue the two halves together to make my unibody. i will probably never finish this project because its insane lol

    Fifty years ago, we made an oven to take a 4 X 8 upright. It hung from binder clips on rollers and drapery track, which extended out 9' to move the sheet to the vacuum mold. The box was made from asbestos sheet and aluminum angle, but drywall and corner bead would probably work, or fiberglass/concrete board for higher temperatures. Not much insulation, but it didn't run much, so cost was low. The key to even heating was adding a squirrel cage blower, re-assembled with the motor outside. No problem with thin stock.

    *Three facts that show you all you need to know:* 01) more than 70% of all ever built 911s are still on the road (that shows the insane quality) 02) the comparison with another (mentioned) enthusiast brand with limited access - Ferrari / while Ferrari won't allow big car magazines or TV channels to test their new cars on racetrack or publish any measured times and also sue you when you criticize them, Porsche WANTS you to test their new cars and when Porsche is on the way to break another world-record on the Nordschleife, Laguna Seca or wherever, they often do it with a public event - simply because they know how good they are (but in a very enthusiastic, nerdy and extremely nice way - which you quickly find out when you watch interviews with their engineers or test-drivers) 03) their racing-success is unbeatable / the LeMans 24h and the Nürburgring (24h) racing histories show why they are so good and why they are so crazy about their racing tech and engineering - they are by far (!) the manufacturer with the most wins at the LeMans 24h race (2nd is Audi) and after BMW the 2nd most succesful at the Nürburgring 24h race, but holding all Nürburgring-Nordschleife world-records (the most important one - for the best overall time - since 1983) and are also the leading manufacturer in other Nürburgring racing series (and obviously on many other racetracks, but I wanted to mention the 2 most important ones)

    Truth be told, I hate the wheels. It's an opinion. And I love the Honda. Would hate it due to the noise in about 5 minutes, (sensitive ears... that love turbine noise from afar,) but it's cute AF. I wish they still made cars that small and I would not be concerned about getting pancaked between giant SUVs in a crash with it to the actual thickness of a non-US pancake. But it's still cute AF and I'd love to have something like it. In a perfect world I'd be riding something like it with a huge grin on some winding forest road.
