We've discussed the G*S* logo on the bar
what about the L/R balance of the car?

polar momentum turning right
could be so slow to give fright

do we get commission
when the bonnet gets risen?

my account details are on the way
looking forward to my first G*S* pay

I think that going over the carpet might be the only way...

I wish! We still have at least a month to go. Don't worry, just drive the hell out of your car now, so you'll appreciate it that much more when you get the brace on

Bahahahahaha, I love it. Next time may we have a Haiku? For the record, the preferred method we developed to offset the weight of the logo on the bar is for the driver to chew a piece of gum, while holding a pen. It'll all work out I promise.

A one-off rear strut bar that tucks underneath the carpet? How much money you got LOL? I don't even want to tell you how much money I project it would cost, but it would for sure have at least three zeros after the first number, and the lead time would make you want to kill me.

There are not because it doesn't exist in metal yet, BUT it'll look just like this:

You guys can remove me from the list. I'm working on another project that would interfere with the strut bar.
