I think it would be cool to have a Fit with an SI engine swap.


Those days are in my past. Now, I want MPG, not MPH.

I would find a duplicate model and cut em each in half. But, the cerf (width of the cutting blade) must be shifted by it's width from the center line so that I will have left n right halves which can be joined along that line resulting in a full-width joined model. Then obviously slip each half into the globe and join em. That will be another challenge perhaps a piece can be fastened inside the halves that will be easily aligned and glued together inside the globe,,,without getting glue inside the glass globe. Sounds like FUN!

Yes, lots of fun. I'll wait until the cars arrive to order globes.

Yes, I wouldn't want it for an only, but as a fun extra for now and then it would be pretty cool, especially when you surprise people with it.
