My project involves turning an old Saab into a racecar, and using it to explore moonshot ideas like creating a composite from natural materials instead of fiberglass or carbon fiber. The racecar part keeps it fun, even if the ideas don't pan out.

Fantastic! You're such an engaging writer. Subscribed.

I've gotten a tad weary of only reading programmer's blogs. You can only transfer over things like stateless application design so far into other fields. Mechanical Engineers deserve some love too! Sadly, the closest I've come to a "Hacker News for Mechanical Engineers" is the FSAE forums, aka, not close at all. So your blog is very welcome!
