Hot Rod Article

[Dave Zug]

Might the definition of hot rodding in the future be something like 
adding 7 HP to your 34 HP electric by replacing the windings with 
windings dipped into liquid nitrogen to allign the molecules??  
Will Jegs be selling dipped winding wire for MUSTANGS ONLY? Will 
you be telling your grandkids about the "engines that actually made 
noise"? Will Grumpy start selling bootleg lead-acid cells on the 
black market?  funny how the "what if's" have changed from things 
like "automatic transmissions?!  what next... the automatic gas 
pedal?!"

If the public, or even probably that hot rod article guy could know 
some of the creative things the modern auto controller is doing, (or 
if I knew more for that matter) they should be amazed. the  reaction 
"that's amazing WOW" as opposed to "oh no something is being killed 
off" is what seperates the neo-tweaker generation from the classic 
rodder generation. Its all the same - do the tweaks, break stuff or 
go faster, don't tell anyone what you did so you can be the fastest.  
ha haa. ;o)

those rods will never die.
