I was curious how that front suspension field tested __O%o

haven't quite got it running yet. But there will definitely be more pictures and video to come.

The car is going to run in the SAE Baja Competition (http://students.sae.org/competitions/bajasae/) in Illinois in May.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys.

Man that looks like a ton of fun. Good work on your craftsmanship and design, it looks really sweet! Makes me wanna go back to school for something like this... Is it for a Mechanical Engineering degree or something like it? If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to build everything (if you can divulge that info publicly)?

there car itself is approximately 8-10. I don't know exactly how much exactly. And yes i'm getting a mechanical engineering degree.

Here are a couple more pictures of it.
