Not me

Maybe I did, maybe I didn't, I honestly don't know.

Edit-not me!

Grant Imahara from Mythbusters.

for $1000, mine would be fully functional :)

I don't think it was anyone here, CLEARLY it has no Miata parts on it, nor will it function as a Challenge/Chumpcar/LeMons entry.

He spent over $1000? no one around here would admit to spending that.

Awesome costume though, needs more lasers for epic win.

• Sheet metal, aircraft aluminum, and other parts: $600.
• Rivets, bolts, hardware: $250.
• Tool purchases/rentals: $200.
• Spraypaint: $90.
• Truck rental to carry costume: $210
• Hours: 250+.
• Falling over from exhaustion after 50 yards: priceless.

Lesson learned? Come back next year as the improved and sleeker raw CF version.

What the hell kind of hardware costs 250$?

no power actuation = fail

How awesome can it be when you can't hold on to and drink a beer, or hug scantily-clad Hallo-wenches?

Just askin?
