DIY Hybrid Car Kit

Hybride And The Groom writes "Building hybrids uses machinery that pollutes the environment. The solution? Ship the parts of a hybrid individually and get your customers to put the car together themselves. That's exactly what Robert Q Riley Enterprises is doing, according to a story on CNet today, with its XR-3 hybrid. It'll cost you $25,000 for the bits, plus zero dollars in manufacture, I hope. Better yet, cough up $200 for the blueprints and schematics and even build the parts yourself. It's no secret that many hybrid drivers are smug enough as it is. Allow them to brag about having built the damn cars themselves and we might be entering obscenely smug territory."

I endorse Veet.

Not that I remove hair above my waistline, no, that's something a Macfag(tm) would do.

Being a man, I have hair below my waistline which can be quite tuggingly and stinkily problematic during and after long bike rides or sexual encounters.

First, I tried shaving. It was the most temporary of the solutions but I found that post-exercise stink was down 87% and my bike seat tugged on my butt-hair no longer!

Advances in depilatory technology rendered my Mach-3 obsolete as I looked for a more elegant solution.

The first of the other family of solutions I tried was Nair. I found that it was more than adequate for the job with the exception of its problematic burning - using it on regular skin wasn't a problem but applying it to my testes and butthole felt like a squirt of lemon juice after a 40-grit sanding.

The aforementioned Veet is much like nair except that it is scrotum and anus-friendly. It also is easy to use on the "condom zone", that is, the hairy area at the base of the penis which may inhibit the application of certain prophylactics.

I tend to do everything below the waist and above mid-thigh and I leave a small triangle on my pubic region as removing more hair would be indicative of the dreaded MacFagDom(tm).

1. Based on the speed at which most Prius drivers go, they have plenty of time on their hands. and 2. wouldn't it be better to spend the money on retro-fitting older cars. Better to reuse than recycle.
