    Ugh. They just come right out and say, nope, not actual carbon fiber. Great looking facsimile though, right?


    I know something about black chrome that they didn't consider. The LUZ Solar One plant, a solar thermal power generation facility, relies heavily on black chrome for the receiver surfaces. It's a selective surface: it picks up infrared energy but doesn't re-radiate very well at all, so you can blast heat into it and it just gets hotter and hotter. That's great if it's on a pipe full of heat transfer oil and generating electricity. But on your car's door handles? Boy, that's gonna hurt.

    DAMMIT you mean my COTD-worthy bons mots went into the CRAPPER? You're just gonna have to take my well-chosen words for it then that I was HOT and hitting on all four when I laid down the commentary. Studs Terkel is smiling down on me from on high, that's how good I was.


    Well, kinda.


    I like the ICON approach, but not the engine. Yawn, more coffee.

    Talk to me when you've done it up Icelandic Style. They're closer to the Financiapocolypse than anyone, so I think they know a thing or two about SUV modding for the inevitable Mad-Max-on-the-tundra armageddon to come.

    @Ash78: Agree 100%...

    Wide monster tires, top rack, spotlights, and frame rails to keep you from falling in the cracks.


    Zombie stomping fun.

    Sorry about the take down and repost, with the subsequent loss of comments. The hamsters got angry and we had to fix em good.
