10th Annual Cruisin' Downriver - MI

On Saturday evening, June 27, 2009 my wife and I headed to the 10th Annual Cruisin' Downriver and WHAT an experience... and will not be going back again!

The plan was to cruise up and down Fort Street a few times and dinner at a local restaurant. Well… some of it did happen. My wife and I had dinner at the Ram's Horn Restaurant, the food and service was good. But we only cruised Fort Street only one-and-a-half times. Why? I was not prepared for the crude comments from the spectators alon… Continue

Bike Rack Projects - Single and Tandem

I have finished my bike rack projects for my smart car. After my 1st prototype to design one rack to hold either a tandem or a triathlon bike. I decided to make 2 bikes racks, one for the triathlon bike and another for the tandem bike.

Now I am going one step further, I figured out a way to carry two bikes on the back by only adding a couple of pieces.

Over the next week I'll will be uploading video showing if there is any movement (flexing) of the bikes when driving. And I an trying to create… Continue

Stage 3 - Bike Rack Concept

It's almost complete after a redesign. My first concept and prototype was to have one bike rack to accommodate two different bikes, triathlon and a tandem bicycle. I found a couple of flaws in the prototype so back to the drawing board or the computer in my case and I finally worked out all the kinks.

1st Prototype - Tandem
08.8 lbs - Bike Rack Mount (Designed by Mr. Incredible)
11.4 lbs - Rocky Mounts Bike Rack
34.6 lbs - Cannondale Tandem Bike
54.8 lbs TOTAL for Tandem - Center of bike 8.0" f… Continue

Excellent picture! I saw you pass by as I was standing in the porta-john line before the race. I have done the race many times since I started running in 2000. While not my fastest Crim, it was one of the most enjoyable. Hope to see you out there again.

Mr. Incredible - I was the blue cabrio that parked behind you in Flint for the Crim race. Hope you had a good run. I was loving the unusually cool weather.

Thanks Bob, I ordered the antenna and should I say, "Dooh" (a la Homer Simpson) about how easy it is to install it.
At 11:04am on August 13, 2008, Rmichael said…
Hey Bob, how did you install the short antenna? Looks like you ordered the J-Series antenna but did it fit without a new base? I almost never listen to the radio in my car but use my iPod all the time.

Found the smart under the snow...

Well I finally dug "Squirt" out from under the snow. The first major snowstorm she was tucked away in the garage. During the last snowstorm she got caught outside. I shoveled around her yesterday and started cleaning her off today. When I finally got the snow off the windshield I noticed the inspection sticker said January... just great. I had to go out so I took the Subaru. When I came out of the store someone had parked a yellow 2008 smart parked right in front of me. I just hate when Squirt m… Continue

Tax deduction???

Since it is tax time, and I bought my Smart in 2009, I was wondering if anyone knows of a tax deduction they have received since purchasing their Smart. I remember something early in 2009 about the government giving a tax rebate/deduction (of some sort) to vehicles that are good on gas consumption. Well, my little Smart has been averaging approximately 59-61 mpg. Yes, you read that right. I am not talking about the cash for clunker program that has since been gone for a long time. If anyone has… Continue
