Project: The Anal Probe

[slowmover]

Anyone would understand that a college man has more important uses for money than a car. On the other hand we, the rest of us, have had a good deal of pleasure from this thread. The car I had in college was ugly, unairconditioned with a black vinyl interior and a clanking 8-track. And an AM radio. The world has changed enough that a razzle-dazzle paint scheme is seen as being all in good fun, not reason for referral to a psych unit.

But with a name like this (thread) sometimes what sinks also stinks. Good riddance, perhaps.

FYI - I'd say monitoring battery voltage (accurately) is a must-do for anyone doing much engine-off coasting, or even at long stops. Especially in the winter. But that horse has already left the barn, eh?

Definitely understand the frustration of car vs. school budget. I had a car for part of the time I was studying, and it definitely sucked up funds that could have been better spent (ie. on things that were more fun!).

Charged the battery a couple minutes and it started up. Drove a few miles with no problem. Gonna check voltage later.

Going to try to avoid EOC for awhile.

Glad to hear that the Anal Probe is still alive. Im hoping to come see her.

I can't stop loving this paint job. It is so odd yet so very cool. I want it on my Civic. Its just crazy.

Well a couple friends came over today and put a volt gauge on it. Apparently it will charge for awhile and then turn the alt off, just draining the batt from there. Going to have to do a little research. I might have to just have two charged batteries ready whenever I want to go somewhere.

Whenever you want to come, shoot me a PM. I've got classes 6 days a week so I'll have to schedule you in.

Thanks! It would be cool to see another dazzle-mobile but you have to plan the graphics well to pull it off!

Picture of your car, tracing paper, and an overhead projector should do it!

While I encourage using a dazzle pattern of a similar style, I'd rather you not copy my design. Plus, your car has different proportions!

Here is some inspiration you might be able to adapt.

Nice link.

I went with nature's dazzel when I did my old Tracker.
