I have 4 500 farad super capacitors if you really want to feel a tickle.

We were going to use them to boost battery life on our 48V DC system but figured a lot of our customers have mechanics that shouldn't be in the same building with them.

LOL yeah. I am pretty fortunate to work for a small employee owned company so most of us get along quite well. Their are a few that work in parts distribution/warehouse and I wonder who ties their shoes for them in the morning.

I doubt you will do much with sandpaper. In fact I think it would be a brutal task to strip that stuff with anything.

The driver was about half the age of @Tcoat.

Wrong location too. Happened not too far from me... let's just say that this is almost not newsworthy because supercars being impounded is pretty much a daily occurrence here
