kakabox

I tried to down load to RPR gallery from my MAC per usual, however non of the pics successfully made it to the gallery. Something about needing to be <2 MB in size. I've never had to 'resize' any of my pics before...maybe it's my new MAC, maybe it's the new RPR server...? Dunno...can't seem to resize to a smaller size in the 'iPhoto' software on my machine. [I have to admit, I'm not the brightest when it comes to this stuff] The 'work-around' I came up w/is send the pics to myself at work via email (they downsize themselves automagically when I do that) then down loaded the 'tiny' pics to my gallery, which, as you can see, it kindly accepted!

I'll see if my wife can figure out if the 'iPhoto' app has a resize feature besides the 'crop' feature. If we can figure it out, I'll replace these w/some bigger/better ones.

Thank you RPR for the all the compliments and support over the years. You guys are great and have provided me w/lots of motivation during the Kakabox build by just being open minded and accepting of my hacksaw/vice/drill press and welder build! The open mindedness and acceptance of this web site is a RPR strong point. It's refreshing and promotes a certain 'community' that I have not experienced as much on other automotive web sites. I came here after hanging out on CornerCarvers.com, building a much modified FOX body 5.0L Mustang ('90 LX 5.0, notchback). While CC is a decent Forum, blogging about the Kakabox build on RPR was like a cloudless Seattle summer sunrise in comparison (although somewhat rare, cloudless Seattle summer sunrises can be uplifting and inspiring)!

I believe the future is bright for the K'box. I'm sure Skip and Co. will improve upon it and provide RPR w/the further adventures of The Kakabox!

What I've been doing lately (last couple of years actually) is building & riding bicycles for fun and fitness. I used to race a little road 'n track back in the day and have gotten back into the hobby/sport. I don't plan on racing again, however, I enjoy training like I am! And of course the bike building scratches that: 'I must build something w/my hands' itch I seem to suffer from!

Car-wise, I still have the Lotus and will probably do a few minor mods, maintain and polish it, and perhaps take it out to the track once or twice a year.

I'll still be lurking around here too!

Cheers and THANKS RPR!

THE KAKABOX IS SOLD!

Thanks for all the reply's and compliments guys.

I priced this not to make any money...but to add incentive to the RPR faithful to purchase it and continue on w/it.

I've received plenty of 'payments' from this car. Everthing from planning, building, blogging, running and showing it has provided favorable interactions w/fellow car geeks, both Honda and non-Honda fans alike.
It always would make me smile when I went to an AX and people would look curiously at the car early in the AM when I drove it in...then come by after the AM runs to ask if it had 'VTEC', or turbo, or why it was posting times faster than theirs! "How much does that thing weigh" was the prevailing question.

Anyway...I'm here to tell you that the Kakabox has been sold (in <12 hrs) to one of our fellow RPR's. It sounds like it's going to a very good home...to one of the faithful.

Thanks all,
J.

That's amazing! Truly work of art.

Thanks for sharing.
