Thanks Greg - I was scared at first - I thought you were going to rap my knuckles with a straight-edge!

I agree 100%. I actually tried, really hard, to get down to just one but I can't do it. I actually accomplish less when I have one because I put so much into that one project, I start to burn out; but I have to have somewhere to put that creative energy or I go bananas. I am most productive when I have one over-the-top project (will be my bike now) and one less intense project to unwind on (this one now). I agree though that it is actually still a bit counterproductive, but in my case it keeps me from spinning out of control. At least that's the plan...

Thanks! I actually went back and forth a hundred times whether or not to do this, but I am really glad I did, now that it's here. It takes me back to the good ol' days of just wrenching on my cars and driving them - for the fun of it - before I became obsessed with chasing radical design concepts. Being a 70s/80s kit car body, it's hard to take it too seriously, and also not the best platform to seek "perfection" on, so it should help me keep my focus on simple fun.

At this point, I don't plan to have one; more like an office. My future is in providing design services and teaching others how to do design and fabrication. I also have some EV market specific products I (eventually) hope to bring to market, but I won't be making them. Ideally, I would love to develop and sell or license them...
