-Is that a dumass fogger of a dumbass fogger

Who needs lighted composite brake pads when I can just flick a switch and undumass defogger'er it!

You can always install the new bazooka tube that looks like a nos bottle so when the bass hits you get a 500 shot!

I seriously believe that there could not be more shit carmmed into one thread if you'll tried. The scary part is this seems to flow natural form us and we find it amusing. WE NEED HELP

Oh there is too much to put into this thread, we could go on forever with it. I think its hilarious, I'm suprised eric hasn't locked it yet! But I am looking foward to the install of my Fast and The Furious octane booster today that I picked up at VIP alone with my super cool muffler tip and other performance accesories, with all the parts I got I hope iget at least another 100 horsepower.

How well do you think a spoiler and a wing would work on a lifted Kick
Zig

Sadly Zukipilot, it could actually have some benefit depending where it's placed and how it's designed.  It could be made to help crosswind stability as well as downforce.  

It'd look pretty silly doing it though.

Brilliant .............. all those Cal-Mini kits that are
too stiff in the springs, well a wing in the front and
a wing in the rear, at highway speeds could soften
up the ride with downforce and not really ad any
weight to speak of, this has to be the solution
Steve has been looking for !!!  at the cost of looking
like a rice racer I'm not sure it's worth the tradeoff  
                             

A good air dam setup and some underbody venturi channels ala Ferrari could do it without being so obvious or causing any additional aerodynamic drag too.

Pop em on with some Dzus fasteners so you can take em of when you go wheeling.  Nasty though it is, I have seriously considered a Dzus'd on air dam for day to day driving.  It'd just look kinda funny but with all the space under the vehicles it's really a bad area in terms of aerodynamic efficiency.  A belly pan would help greatly aside from being functional, but that smooth bottom surface can actually create more lift which isn't helping any.

I've got a couple pieces of an aluminum helicopter blade that are about 3 feet long from where I used to work,  Flip it upside down and it makes downforce instead of lift.  If it were mounted in front of the vehicle slightly before the front of the vehicle starts screwing with the airstream it could be made to work (kinda like a formula 1 car) Get a linear actuator to be able to adjust the angle of attack and it could really get fun.   Again though it would look really goofy especially combined with a lift and mudders.  

But seriously, how bout it Hagen? do you find the belly pan makes freeway driving any more squirrely?

Helicopter blade upside down  aren't they
using laminar style blades yet ??

 :DI want to knowif I can put wings from a DC-9 on my rig so I can fly it like Mike Hagen?

These were the blades from a kit helicopter that costs about 60k (maybe more now, that was back in 95 when I worked there).

The real ones use composites. (Well stuff like blackhawks, chinooks, and the other bigger helos).  Not positive on stuff like MD 500/OH-6 and the Bell Jet Ranger/OH-58 type stuff, usually just works out to whatever's lightest and can do the job adequately.  The ones on the Chinooks for instance use a titanium spar and then the rest of the airfoil is skinned nomex honeycomb.  Has a nickle erosion cap on the tip (Makes for cool "halo' effects during a dusty night landing).  They still weigh about 350 lbs composite or not.  But when you consider all 6 blades working together can lift a gross weight of about 55,000 lbs between the airframe and the cargo they seem pretty light.  (Nevermind the centrifugal load pulling the blade from the hub spinning at 200 RPM on a 50 foot rotor disk).

It'd look pretty silly doing it though.

If I was worried about silly, I would of never posted to this thread
Zig

50 foot rotor disk area wooh, Pi x dia \ FPS x MPH
yoww thats over 327 Miles per Hour at the tips
|removethispart|@ 200 RPM, I think I'm getting dizzy.
                       

Hey dude, no hurling on the shell, just waxed it.
{=~)

Why not one of thos HON - DUH type ricer wings?, Gotta put one on the front AND one on the rear on us 4 wheel drive types.

Yeah and it's actually closer to 225 RPM if I recall correctly.

(wee bit of rounding going on in the post)

The other nice touch is that you never approach a Chinook from the front, the front rotor blade can get as close as 4 feet from the ground which obviously will wreck your day if you happen to occupy the same space as the rotor blade at the same time.

And Natebert, you're overlooking the front and rear wings as additional seating areas since they are practically park benches.
