Congrats on a successful first outing. One more small suggestion. When not towing, remove the hitch from the receiver. The difference in damage in a minor incident is huge. If the pickup is rear ended, the impact may be spread over the bumper and 4 " x 4 '. or with the hitch it's 2" x 2". Same if you back into something, which may be your something. "No damage" vs. a 2x2" hole in whatever. I've seen examples and it's just silly. Just keep the hitch and ball with the trailer or your tie down equipment.

Wow. Great stuff. Very interesting about the navigation.

True, really exotic cars take a lot of money. Run of the mill 8 cyl Ferrari should have a maintenance (not repair) account set for $%,000 annual. Could be worse. I have a copy of a guys receipt for 20k Km. service on a Porsche 959 back when. First you drop it at a European dealer. They put on truck to the factory. Factory disassembles it, including trans, diffs, engine, then sends the estimate. By the way, you need a set of wheels because the hollow mags are prone to rot. Final service totals $53,000 US. I took a F-40 for a couple thousand mile oil/service. $900, back the same day.

Congratulations!!

So, with it titled as "2025 ASVE 57 Lotus replica", does it need the annual inspection to include a smog check for a 2025, or treat it as a '57? Or are you in a county without smog. I think all the counties around Dallas are smog checkers.

Now the master mechanics can retire. The R&R technicians can get AI to tell them what part to remove & replace Cleaning/repairing may still be a bridge too far for some. RIP Phil Remington, et al.

Love the nose art, as the fly boys called it.

Aero was recently discussed in another thread. Here's an interesting article: American racing legend Dan Gurney long advocated for cars with little downforce, extreme horsepower, and wide tires to really put performance in the hands of drivers rather than aerodynamicists. Former Indy driver J.R. Hildebrand recently brought the idea forward with a thorough analysis of what such a low-downforce, open-wheel race car could be. It’s worth a look. https://click.member.hagerty.com/?qs=eyJkZWtJZCI6Ijk3Zjk2NDU3LTgzNzYtNGMzNC1iYTQxLTQ4OGNmZGY1MjVkZCIsImRla1ZlcnNpb24iOjEsIml2IjoiZFhhMThFeFpxVzFhMkZWK1kzTmJ2UT09IiwiY2lwaGVyVGV4dCI6IkVyTktJZnY2bEZoOCtvbVJ2YkhQZGtNOUtKa0VXNCtlb0d0bUcyOEhtM1pWcmE1N055eEQxdmRJSWx1b0hPQU45Mm1VOE95cHJZVGZvOVBQRDRXOHV6RnVhM0Z2VVlrZGRYYTE4RXhacVcxYTJGVitZM05idlE9PSIsImF1dGhUYWciOiIzNlBUencrRnZMc3hibXR4YjFHSkhRPT0ifQ%3D%3D

I sometimes wonder, will there ever be a year when we do not need any NEW LAWS? Surely we have almost enough? Give the people a rest. Free the left lane!

Good looking car and the sweetest motor around. Congratulations!

Awesmoe hauler to go with the crazy Mini and WCM. Congrats!

Nice job on the boat. What do you think it weighs? Or should I ask how much water it displaces?

So cool!

I thought Zyrtec was funny and you played it on purpose.
