I hope I gave more thought to my project then you did to your post.
obviously, you have given much more thought. the extent of my thought was pretty much....

....how is frontal area gonna be 10 sq ft with what is basically a civic front end with a skinny windshield.

....how is weight gonna be anything close to 1000 lbs when the drivetrain alone is close to half that, especially if it has to be robust enough to carry two lard asses.

....both those areas could be addressed by going to a light simple and cheap MC drivetrain

....why is this guy such an arrogant POS who seems more interested in belittling posters who are just asking questions or giving opinions than in discussing his build?

Oh, and a bit of advice for your website. When you start your "about me" section with, "I'm Doug, I have a high IQ", most people immediately think, hmmm, what a D-bag. Coming here and reading your posts just reinforces that impression.

Good luck with your build anyway. I doubt it will hit any of the goals you have, but, it does look like it might be pretty neat anyway.

Oh, and one more thing.

I too wondered about that ridiculous fake scoop.

There for aesthetics?

Really?
