i was thinking about getting one of those touring cars and attend a few races again, but
honestly no time to do that since saturdays are already half taken with kids private
schools and watever stuff they have going on after school. so got an offroad one and
drive it inside/outside the house. will plasti-shitt the electronics and drive it in snow
I have built two rc cars and have more fun driving them under cars in
the dark in front of my house............

speaking of blind spots, while i was motoring my Z yesterday i saw another z waiting at a light in the left-turn lane as i was approaching the intersection making a right turn on their driver side.

was going to give em a but noticed the friggen dumbo mirror was compeletely blocking the driver's face while i was making the right turn, so could not see the driver's face until i was past their car. lol

now if that was a cs mirror, no issue.

for me, i'd get a cheapo one to fly inside the house. our living room ceiling is high so it would be fun to fly it from the living room to the loft.
