I think everyone should paint there rally cars pink and put stickers that say, "for the boobies!" on the side. People will be like, "oh that's great that you're raising money for a great cause!" To which you get to respond, "What the fuck are you talking about? I'm hoping having a rally car will get more ladies to show me their boobies..."

I always wanted to do a read to white fade with a big cotton rope hanging off the back and a big Tampax decal on the side. Probably better for Lemons than rally though.

My mother might actually die if I did that. It's been a long time since I've had one of her shoes thrown at my head for being a potty mouth... I wonder if her arm is still as good as it used to be...

How about gloss olive drab?

Orange...think of the Great Pumpkin...always looks good, stays clean, doesn't show damage badly. White rally cars and world rally blue..too many already.

I have a gallon of lime green on the shelf already.
If you wanna be in a magazine, red or yellow are only options from a statistical standpoint.

I'm working on it! Progress has slowed, as I'm not doing the welding, and Casey doesn't have much in the way of free time. I think about 4 hours of welding and I can call the cage finished. It's so close I can taste it, but it's hard to be patient. I can't complain too much, because we've worked out a trade for services arrangement that should make both parties happy. Never thought I'd be able to get the cage done for under 1k all told!

I have organized the garage, in preparation for assembly of the car. Still torn between a red, or white car. I think bright orange could look cool, but there is already an orange subaru one bay over.

I need to get in touch with Marc Swanson and see if there is an easy way to wire the Vems in (its currently wired as a Plug N Play for the S4 and I haven't looked into how different that is from a standard pinout, might be really simple)

Hoping to make Wild West up in Pomeroy this Sept. I heard a rumor that it might actually happen.

Nice! I lost track, which motor are you going with - I would think you'd just thrown an AAN or 3B in there - also a note - VEMS apparently doesn't support wasted spark (my son's PAudi/Aursche runs VEMS, had to keep the 7a dizzy to support that), so you have to have a cam position signal available (distributor or other)...
