Re:Pinhead engineering!!

I thought the drawing I had to deal with today that showed a structural column resting on an air duct was funny, but this has had me laughing for half an hour, trying not to wake everyone up. Dang, that's funny stuff, long as it doesn't come near me....<br><br>Rob

Really makes you look and wonder when you see a piece of crap pass you on the highway!! I'm sure there are a lot more rigs like these than we think roaming around.

Re:Pinhead engineering!!

Homestead your just not giving these guys enough credit for creativity, safety awareness or engineering while suicidally impaired. Thank God for experienced qualified Tech inpectors at sanctioned race events or this would be more prevalant than it is on our public roads. PK

Re:Pinhead engineering!!

Hey now. Just cause someone decided to save themselves some money by creating their own stuff, doesn't mean that we should shoot it down and insult them. Even though the stuff looks like crap, doesn't work, and will probably end up killing them.
