    LMFAO! It fits like 4 people, but yeah those cars (a mini cooper, and a Geo Metro) are the ones you can go down the expressway and swerve around and stay in your lane, and also touch all windows without leaving your seat. LOL. Not sure about having sex in one of those, unless your a midget couple, then it might be perfect lol.

    @ Langer

    Dude, this thing is amazing. I am lost at the great amount of work and greatness on this build. Damn Great Job!!:rock::rock:

    I hate both of you:lol:

    They're surprisingly roomy (I'm 6'2") and I've not had the chance to test drive one yet. Drooled over a few of them the last time the auto show came through Chicago, though.

    Sorry for the thread-jack, *The* Langer, but I felt the need to defend my future ride's honor.

    Also, turning 22 in June. Isn't this age awesome?

    Sorry Fisher, but I just sold my old ride. Before I handed the keys over I pulled a 15 foot plank out of the back.
    And it cost $4000 new.
    It feels like you should get more for $20G.

    Now I'm going to RRR to hijack this thread there.:D

    Did you buy it in 1940?:lol:

    I agree it should cost less, but I still yearn for it. I'm not old enough to need a truck (pickup, I assume) that has space to haul lumber, lawnmowers, boxes of monkey masks, etc.

    Once I buy a house I will rethink my choice of transportation, but until then I don't need a truck. Just a good friend with one:thumb:

    Considering that my new fans frighten me, it occurred to me that someone might get hurt.

    So I decided to add redundant safety protocols, just in case:

    UPDATE:

    Today was an intimate day between myself and my scroll-saw. =)

    I started making some carbon accents from .8mm sheet - I had a few of these sheets left over from an earlier project. Their intended purpose was the outer shell of the Acer Ferrari series laptop ;).

    I popped out the stainless steel - and cut out a replacement on my scroll saw:
    [​IMG]

    I made some more carbon covers for the I/O and the RAM.
    [​IMG]

    And another for the RAID card, because it's PCB was green:

    I also covered the ATX plug with a little cover - because I wont be needing it:
    [​IMG]

    A little overview:
    [​IMG]

    I made little circles for all the fan motors as well, but I forgot to take pics. I'll take some with next update.

    Tune in soon for more.

    Are you going to make a cover for the 8pin as well? Or are you not going to be doing the power from the back with the 8pin plug.

    Looks awesome so far.

    How do you get nice clean cuts in the CF with the scroll saw? What kind of blades?

    The cuts come out haggard. I any blade, today it was metal ones. I spend a hell of a lot of time filing my cuts.

    It's not a hard material to cut John. I don't even pay attention to the blade - I use whatever is on my saw when I arrive. The finesse is in the filing.
