Thought and opinions please???
Well I think the shorter version looks better, as far as that goes. And in a real world situation, it would be safer to drive. As short as the wheelbase is on the Del Sol, if you add that much behind the pivot point, you're going to have to be really careful of not swinging it into other vehicles, and not knocking old ladies off the sidewalk.

I just love watching other people's experiments! I'm still wondering about the template material? Is it paper? Something more substantial? Is it durable enough for mock up road/tuft testing?
