is that an r.c. cannabineer, or just a glider?? i do know you love a lot of things aeronautical though... guy i used to skate board with as a teen is now big into those rc planes, quad copters and what not... seems like a cool hobby, but a bit out of my price range atm..... here is my non-automotive guilty pleasure.

JUST a glider???
I'll have you know (he said in a noisy rustle of bruised dignity)* that the most sublime (sober)** moment of my life was in the one-person cockpit of an unpowered aircraft at 8100 feet over central Jersey. The year was 1986. Imagine being inside a Frisbee of brand-new cumulus cloud. it was like French kissing an angel of God.

lmfao.. i was waiting for that very response from you with the just a glider comment.. too funny...
i didn't mean just a glider as in trying to brush off a glider, i meant just a glider as in not an rc plane, but rather a glider, i guess that would have been a better way of wording it, lol..
and yeah, i can't imagine being attached to a larger sized plane, and that moment of release and then nothingness, just floating in the air for miles and miles.. would have to be pretty awesome..

and i guess floating over central new jersey in an un-powered craft would have to be much better than floating over central jersey in one full of hydrogen..

My (powered plane) pilot friend gives me no end of shit for flying Bricks. "What kind of FUCKtard flies an unpowered airplane????" lolol
But the sensation of wearing a 600-pound airplane with just wires between stick and control surfaces ... while feeling for the way the air is rising (variometer was on the fritz so I was tapping the altimeter; adapt improvise overcome), finding the core of the thermal anyway and riding it up like the coda of a Zep song (ant, cheese, buyyyyinggg...) a stairway to heaven oh sweet my. I do miss those days.

ehh this is the way to go man. 145k and you could be flying this. only takes 2 weeks to get your license to fly it and the price of the license is already in that price. i love this thing.... here is my non-automotive guilty pleasure.

Long fucking day, just now coming in from the garage at 1:04 am, but it is all done.
Now if only I had the money, stage 4 clutch, new short shift, new interior, and a respray.
GTI build is going swell, but it's gonna be on back burner while I save up some cash.
Pics to come, phone was murdered while on a 4 wheeler ride last night.

My car's front bumper can push a Redbull can on its side and i can still pull into most driveways with minor scraping. Its all about the angle and knowing how to drive a slammed car, i've been doing it for 20 years...
