I'm gonna drive around in style,

^^ That ^^
I found it interesting this past summer, that almost no one at any show I went to asked if it was a “kit car”.
The majority of people opened with the question. “What year is it?”
The most fun was a guy in a tractor trailer that pulled up beside me at a stop light, looked way down and gave me a thumbs up and “What a beautiful car! Whanna trade?”

It's perfect.
Great stuff
Well, that is some interesting thread drift.
I would like to try lab-grown meat. If people ate it instead of meat directly from the cow, it would cut down methane in the atmosphere.
Michael and Ray - Soylant Green is people.
Yeah, I remember the movie.
@IaM-Ray posted:Here the latest be spoke copycat
"Lab-Grown" doesn't do justice to the craft and effort put into this meat. I prefer to refer to it as "replica" meat.
I will stick to Organic you can steer clear of this type and steak your health on ruminents, cows that is ....
I think it is actually real meat. The vegetable-based stuff could be called replica meat

Sorry to have to correct you, Stan, but that is not true, according to the label. And they're not allowed to lie, because the FDA would fine them.
Human veal.
according to Charlton Heston when we turn 65 we are" recycled"
They actually named a product 'Soylent Green'?

I think they know exactly what they're doing, and it's hilarious.
It’s supposedly a great company to work for - except for the retirement plan.

This is from the bag:
They definitely knew what they were doing.

wing too low
sum ting wong
ho lee ***
im not making it up,,bout peed in my pants,Natl news and they are reading these names off, writer got fired..
If they sold a lab made meat-filament for your 3D printer you could print a T-bone or a ribeye. That would be kit meat.
Since we've drifted to oblivion, I'll just mention that Beyond Meat, one of the more prominent plant-based meat companies, is not doing so great.
From the article the other day in Bon Appetit:
"Plus it wasn’t a boon to stock prices when Beyond Meat COO Doug Ramsey allegedly bit off a chunk of a man’s nose in September. Ramsey got into an argument in a parking garage (relatable) after a football game (understandable) and after punching through the back window of his victim’s car (as one does), he got into a physical altercation with the man, eventually biting off a piece of his nose. Ramsey was arrested and subsequently suspended from his role at Beyond."
(It is absolutely worth noting, for the purposes of this thread's logical cohesion, that the victim in this unfortunately cannibalistic incident was reportedly driving a Subaru).

The irony of that is immense.
Ok, the combination of the last two posts made me LOL.

Well, Ed, thanks for bringing the thread back to 'Subaru donors'.

I try to keep it 
on here.
This thread is why I pay money to this site.

@Gordon Nichols what’s nice is you put a lot of smile with a lot of folk and with a wide range of age. 😎😎👍👍🤙🤙
There was a guy here (Bruno Designs) in Sarasota FL area that bought a set of CMC wide body molds and put it on a Mazda Miata "frame". It got written up on the RCN Magazine. It remained front engine/rear drive. Hood could use some redesign.
Interesting read -
Porsche 356 Speedster with a Mazda Miata Donor | Rare Car Network (rcnmag.com)
The Miata is one of just a few (?) modern cars that use a back bone chassis that can be removed from body and actually lengthen or shortened. Not AWD though.
That Miata/Speedster thing was nice.
Well, except for the smile, or slit, or belly-wound-looking-thing-guts-may-spill-out-at-any-moment look it had.
I've long been of the opinion that the Exocet frame/tub could (and should) be adjusted to include door openings, then draped with appropriate aluminum or fiberglass bodywork to make it look like something appropriately '50s or '60s-esque.
Other than Stuart Mills,* I don't know that anyone has done it though, since Exocet owners would much rather spend their weekends hooning around the track at top speed than shaping fenders on an English Wheel...
*Mills made a Miata-based DBR1 tribute that may or may not have been based on the Exo-skeleton, which has been out of production half a decade now.
That hood has gotta go
