Xyberz,
I will concede my poor search abilities, I only looked at the first three pages and that probably did not go back to 2009. That now makes at least 27 forums and yet somehow I am the one that is obsessed and without a life. I also concede that I thought you were organizing the Aventador rental. It was your words like serious about it and we are at it that threw me. You are welcome on this forum but you must realize that the temperature of your reception is greatly based on how much sense you make once you are here. I would have thought that you would have recognized this fact at least 26 times by now. Statements like no 3-D models of guesstamates do not help this. Why would you make a 3-D copy of an existing imperfection? How could you even make a model of a guesstamate? But in the interest of deflating my ego and no God trip, I will not say another word about any of this. Please pursue the crowdfunding of your $1,000 dashboard prototype, but please do not ask us to also crowdfund your SEMA booth.
My true apologies if I come off as a jerk as I got kinda offended as I'm only here as a member of the community and not here to solicit any type of donation from anyone. My intention is only to learn and to help if and when I can. Clearly the ideas of forums is to share information with one another and hence the reason why I'm a part of so many different forums throughout the years. I, as probably most others here are, am a born DIY person and prefer to always take the opportunity to save money and also for the learning experience to figure it out and do it myself. I always tell all my friends, that if there is an instruction manual, equipment, and tools could build a rocket without ever stepping foot into a classroom.
When I do release my crowd funding posting, I won't be begging anyone for anything. If anyone sees what they like and want to participate then so be it. Just like any other crowd funding project that has ever and still goes on today. No one holds a gun to anyone's head. At least with a crowd funding site, they require your personal information so should you decide to take the money and run, there's a real person that can be pursued and prosecuted easily. Obviously I'm not looking to go to jail for something so stupid. Plus it'll be under my company's name, not just a personal project in which I only wish to make one device for only myself. This would be a full blown business movement with a business office, real address, number, etc in order to be authentic rather than just some smokescreen company.
But at this time it's still not even off the ground yet as I'm in contact with the manufacturer anyway to work out all the kinks. So unless if they're able to say it's possible, then I won't be moving along with anything and sadly the wonderful idea may just die like so many ideas do unfortunately. This doesn't mean that as of now, it's not worth pursuing since it's not available anywhere. As one person posted, "there's no need to reinvent the wheel". I don't plan to, at least with this concept anyway.
Also with any other person pursing and actually trying to build a kit, replica, or even parts, I'll be posting updates with real pictures and what not to show that it's not just a talk thing if this continues to move forward. Obviously you can't gain any interest in anything with just words. And like I said, I won't be asking any members for any funds both in public or private. Input would be great as this is the reason why I'm here, for support as just about everyone else is.
So please, if there's anything you'd like to know about me or my project I'm pursuing please feel free to ask. I just hope that there can be some respect in speaking to one another rather than coming off like sergeant hard @ss. If so then you can only expect my response to not be so nice or light in manner. Probably just like you, I'm not here to take anyone's B.S. so if you don't fling it, then I won't either.
