Neat project. Execution looks super slick, better than factory. Too bad the writer uses such a disrespectful tone talking about "treehuggers."

We're high performance drivers. It's just that the typical more-is-better crowd doesn't perceive it as such - we're not loud or fast, but we wrangle more motion per ounce of fuel than anyone else. It's a different kind of high performance...more along the lines of the NASA kind, than the NASCAR kind.
