    I have thought about that. I am still thinking about that. I will be thinking about that for a while.

    Looks great! Can you show a picture a little further away so we can see how it looks with more of the car showing?

    That's entirely awesome, Doc!! :thumb:

    That is the one thing that I've seriously thought of getting as a tattoo... still haven't, but I've thought about it.

    Starfleet, or Toyota? Or Romulan (like Nero)?

    Maybe Toyota's a little out of favor these days, but I'd think
    that the possibility of unintended acceleration in a starship
    would be worthy of quite a bit more respect...

    It's just Chekov with his foot on the wrong pedal. 99% of all starship SUAs come from user error.

    I have a CD of TOS Startrek special effects somewhere.

    What I'd like to do is tie in hybrid acceleration to the overwhelming transmission rumble when the Enterprise is rumbling at Warp 10 and seeming like it's about to explode...add Scotty pleading for Kirk to let up.

    These days, that would be amusing. :D

    Won my first trophy of the year at a car show with gorgeous weather. Appropriate category too: "Dare to be Different."

    Awesome. I particularly like the added flux capacitor in the back seat.

    Picked up another trophy last weekend. According to the judge "Thumbs up for being unique."
