Love the updates, and glad the assembly survived the trip to SC. I'd like to hear more about your encounters with other drivers and their reactions. Did you have any trouble from law enforcement? Is your tail 100% street legal? Any unexpected surprises with the tail? How exactly do you fit in a standard parking spot?

I found this link recently about coasting in neutral:
popularmechanics.com/cars/alternative-fuel/news/coasting-in-neutral-fuel-economy
It basically says that the engine doesn't use ANY fuel while coasting, confirmed with measurements of the fuel injectors. This seems to contradict a lot of what I read on this site regarding EOC. Thoughts?
