I love your description of the hail storm! :joy:
Wish I had $1200 as it looks like a fun project. Good luck!

Alternatively, if DMS wants a car for educational purposes, I am willing to donate it in exchange for a proper receipt…

Was it confirmed that the dimples did make it faster ?
I’d like to see the wind tunnel data please!

If a logo decals for a performance part that you may or may not have actually installed is good for +5HP then surely some dimples are good for the same?

I had a Civic HB w/ hail dimples.
They work.
Think golf ball.

Within the accuracy of myth busters testing, smooth roughly 3 inch dia, shallow dimples seem to improve fuel efficiency.

I’m sure decals for front wheel drive cars are worth at least 10HP each!

I’m surprised none of the internet based performance folks haven’t suggested you try some kind of “engine overhaul” in a bottle yet.

Such as a bottle of mixed aluminum and iron oxide powders with a magnesium strip catalyst?

I love what you did with the license plate!

That sounds like it would alter the combustion characteristics of the engine to be more … emphatic.

Someone via CL that says they’re showing up with a tow truck.

I assume whatever tender they offer will be accepted as legitimate currency.

6:30 this evening if anyone wants to watch my six while I attempt a CL deal.

You need a piece of white paper. Ink on US currency never dries and you can rub it off onto paper.

Just ask for payment in one’s …no one prints ones in their home garage

Don’t accept Schrute Bucks for your car!

Sold. Buyer indicated they’ll remove it before the weekend.

Suspect they need it - and are willing to sweat over it - far more than I.
