I like pictures, and i think a lot of us like them too.

amongst all the chaos here, and the blood sweat and tears we pour into are projects, seeing other people’s builds is a reminder of what a bigger movement we are all apart of. and it keeps motivation high!

so lets keep this clean and post ONE good photo of your project. and a short sentence on what it is and what its for! and if you have a build thread, link it!

i'll start:

2010 Prius complete drivetrain mid engine, traction battery up front, radiator laid flat in the back. Future plans to increase battery capacity and run it as a PHEV on propane or alcohol, but for now it runs as a stock Prius. Proximity fob, pushbutton start, and everything work. If you want to see more my username is the same on Instagram, my imgur account has a lot more as well.
