clear coat that is similar to glass, in that it could be wiped with windex or something and be a lot less susceptible to scratches from washing and/or drying?

Default How about developing a spray you apply to bugs BEFORE they hit the car ...

...so they just bounce off and we wouldn't need to spend so much time cleaning them off the front end, mirrors and windshield.

Better yet, develope an additive for bug food that metabolizes in the insect and leeches a silicon-like substance that similarly results in clean TT-insect contact at any speed. No more splats! The concept could also be applied to deer.

Default Are you sure we really put a man on the moon?

Warning...conspiracy theory enclosed.

I was in South Korea in April/May and saw Korea's version of a TV magazine show..you know like Dateline or 20/20. One of the stories was about the possible fabrication of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon. There are many, in the USA, that believe that it was a total fabrication, much like that recent movie with Duston Hoffman about the Hollywood fabrication of a War - can't remember the movie's title.

I thought it was interesting and all of the "proof" was thought provoking. One of the points that they brought up was...

Why did the USA flag look like it was being blown stiff? The moon has gravity, so the flag should have been drooping. There is no atmosphere to have wind. It could have been solar wind, but from the pictures, the flag was pointing towards the sun. The flag could have been a "starched flag" but again from the video, Neil "undrooped" the flag. etc, etc...

Hmmmmmm

Anyways, I believe Neil walked on the moon, and as far as your question goes....economics, you can't sell Windex for $10 a bottle, but they can sell waxes and clearcoat repair products at that price.


Also, I saw 2 TT 180 roadsters in Korea - both were Lake Silver.

Default We all need a tiny "star wars" defense system on the TT

That way bugs and stones would get zapped before leaving there indelible mark on the TT's soft paint.
