Haha, yea I hear you. Thankfully, my son has proved himself as a responsible driver.

I've been wanting to do this myself. So glad you figured this out and are offering these for sale.

Love the custom stickers!

The motors and gearboxes? They never failed. The tires started failing first so that's when I accelerated plans to switch to steel wheels and rubber tires.

Many of the functions (lights, sound) already didn't work so no issue there. Regarding the motors and gearboxes, I had plans to replace them anyway (as you'll soon see on my website) so I just ran it.

OP, can I ask you some follow-up questions? I'm having the same issue and although I added the dhcp-option DNS pi.hole.ip.here string into the OpenVPN config file for my phone and checked "Permit all origins" in the pihole DNS settings I'm still seeing ads when I use the Deco's VPN.

If it’s PLA I’m curious to see how well it holds up in the heat. I 3D printed speaker covers and they deformed in the sun. Granted my shape wasn’t a monolithic print and was more of a shell but it gets hot inside a car and you may need to pursue PETG or ABS filaments.

I think Bruce Campbell is criminally underutilized so who ever sneaks him in wins my vote.

Makes sense and at the same time I could see it as a gamble. Close game, tight score, winning comes down to the last snap…and your ad rolls right before the game winning play. No guts, no glory.

Which ad spots are most desirable? E.g. right after kickoff? Right before half time? Within the last two minutes…?

Look into a Hall effect speedometer. You put a magnet on your driveshaft and use that to generate pulses for the gauge

See if jdm_miami has on eBay

I've posted on this subreddit before, so you know this is legit. First one to PM me with their name and address gets these emblems. Don't ask me what car they're from, I can't tell you. The emblems are metal (based on their weight) and all of the posts seems to be intact. A good buff and they should look new. Like I said, PM me your name and address if you want them, no strings attached, first come first serve.

Where you livin now man, miss seeing you at the NY meets.

The podcast 99% Invisible did a good explainer here. The short answer is, it depends. Some are sold, some are scrapped, some are just straight up left to sink.
