[s-cars] Worthy projects (was Alum..was UrS $)

[Phil Mische]

After all, this is the "Dancing with Miss Piggy" group.  If I wanted support 
on A4Q hot rodding (how ordinary) I'd go to a different watering hole.

There's no real need for "my-project's-better-than-yours", because they're 
all ridiculous - none of our car machinations really make any sense at all. 
Unless you're doing real racing it's all just fun; even for those in the 
thin air at the pinnacle of real motorsports it doesn't make much sense. 
It's ALL just an interesting exercise - everyone makes their own choices and 
builds their own junk or gets it built, to satisfy some dark inner urge.

Some guys put twin blower motors on a Farmall tractors and pull weighed-down 
sleds, some people do luge  Who would do this??  I watch with wonder.  I 
love Hap's insane off-the-chart windmill jousting - perhaps there are 
projects that make more sense, but then why bother?  Try to make a big girl 
like an s-car dance?  Why do we keep trying?

We need the eggs.
