        I piss myself for no reason sometimes. I usually don't laugh afterwards. it's quite embarrassing : /

                    That is awesome!!!  This is great work, make sure to use this sort of stuff on your resume in the future, employers would be very impressed.  Are those bronze bushings in the steering kingpin? What kind of top speed are you expecting from the vehicle? Does the driver wear a helmet?

                      It's a multi-piece assembly, the inner shaft is steel, the top retainer is steel, the spacer is aluminum, the bushings are brass, and the sleeve part that the kingpin got welded too was steel.

                      Top speed at this point will probably be about 30, but the gearing is all modular so swapping it out is a breeze. Yes, helmets are worn.

                                        I especially liked when that piece of trim fell off the refrigerated display case, lol   that sort of thing just doesn't happen during a legit fall at the grocery store. 

                                        Being an adult is cool, but sometimes I miss being a total jackass like that during middle school  :D

                                          That wasn't a trim piece, that was a light bulb. I'm amazed it didn't break! LOL.

                                          our school used to do the high mileage stuff, we set alot of records for that. I miss shop class...
