LOL that's just him being hyper. Usually more mellow but still silly.

Thanks about the paint job. Actually that's going away, though. After driving across the Midwest and sitting in the forest for months it's getting pretty ragged. The surfaces were not prepped properly which means lots of white paint was flaking off. Due to the time it takes to tape things off to touch it up, I'm going a different route (along these lines).

I LOVE the dazzle but it's just not the best situation for it right now. I plan on getting a dazzle wrap when I buy a VW TDI. That should be less paintenance and whatnot.

Until then, here is a video of the thing rolling. I couldn't repaint it without getting this in action because it's just a joy to watch those wheels turn! Freaking love it. Enjoy.

(will take an hour or so to process)


PS- I also recently added Freja the Rabbit to my Garage to track MPG.
PPS- A boat tail is on the not so long term agenda. I'll be buying materials soon-ish.
