They go a few yards, stop, jump up and down and slap backs & booties.
Then tear it all apart for a few hours.

If they could do that coast to coast and back without falling over I'd find it much more impressive.

Even then, without visual references for the speed, it's just a job.

If you need some more knife steel PM me sizes. I’m not going to be there much longer so I won’t have access to scrap 5160.

It was a total shit show for the defense. Very satisfying the way SBF’s non-answers were destroyed by his own quotes and email/texts.

Random Thoughts - Part III The Search for Spark (No Politics)

Idk why some auto makers use piano black on their cars… it’s a fucking finger print magnet! Solterra’s interior is pretty much all piano black.

So wrapped it, so I don’t have to clear every damn time I touch it.


Matte carbon fiber doesn’t get any finger prints, but an issue is it “looks” cheap. If I do more fancy shiny cf, it’ll get finger prints.

Catch 22 of matte cf vinyls

Yeah, I absolutely hate the gloss/piano black in my GRC. I just ceramic coated them to help clean them off with just air as any touching will probably lead to marring and scratching. No clue why manufacturers think it's such a great idea.

agreed. The LYRIQ has so much piano black. I'm debating whether I CF wrap it or just live with it. So many fingerprints I'm sure.
