Well it's a saying now. 50 years from now, people will wonder where that old saying came from.

I guess we need to start convincing all of the product engineers to show "in progress" and finished pics with zip ties. We can convince them by saying it weighs less than tape.

It definitely looks cooler than tape. Forget duct tape prom dresses: ZIP TIES!

And on the day the site was down until ~10pm CST. So much anxiety. Such a long work day.

Probably so. I count from a full tank though, because a full tank is always the same. Whenever I finally get the opportunity to weigh the car, it will definitely be with a full tank.

Gotcha. In racing, its all about minimum competition weight. So basically, coming off track for scrutineering, is when I need to make sure I don't get disqualified.

Lol! Not surprise. There's not enough time to scrutineer every car at every race, so it appears to be random.
Think Formula 1, everyone drives I over the marbles to pick up extra weight because they are weighed every race |

The race car, the beater, and that snazzy winter sky.

3 pounds of glory:
[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UHWqVAiimo"]Shorai LFX21LS-BS12 Cranking FR-S in 37 F - Scion Subaru BRZ Toyota GT86 - YouTube[/ame] I thought it was supposed to be like 27 degrees this morning, then once the car cranked I realized it was actually 37. Not the coldest day by any means, but it still cranked strong.

With no cage, this has got to be one of the lightest running 86 in all the kingdom.
