Reciprocating Saw Fun

Because it was so freakin hot outside, I didn't get a whole lot done on the frame this week...definitely not enough to take progress pictures of. I spent a good part of the week sitting indoors and starting on the suspension design, reading up on steering rack ratios, bump steer, and master cylinder sizing, and trying to find a wrecked R1 for sale in Houston.

I did cut the Miata into pieces to transfer to the scrap yard. I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but it was so hot outside that these are the only two pictures I felt like taking. I also cut the front end (ahead of the windshield) off, but when I was done, all I wanted to do was go inside, drink a gallon of cold water, and experience the greatest invention of all time, air conditioning*.

*Sidenote: I really don't think air conditioning is the greatest invention of all time (GIOAT, for simplicity's sake), but it certainly feels that way after 4 hours in the hell that is Houston summer. I've never really thought about it, but if I had to choose a GIOAT, I would probably be a predictable loser car nerd and choose the automobile. But what liberated everyday people to travel more than the automobile? If you answered my hypothetical question with powered flight, I might call you a jerk and then agree with you.
