    They have a huge range in terms of electric cars. 4.5s 0-60 top speed of 130 mph 160-300mi range I mean.. if you can afford it.. by all means its probably one of the best electrics out there. 62 Mi/hr charging time.. I mean.. I'd buy one as a DD seeing how i don't do a lot of mileage especially since electricity is so cheap. I can drive 350 miles in my E55, stop at a gas station, fill it up with gasoline in less than 5 minutes, go another 350 miles, fill it up with gasoline in less than 5 minutes, go another 350 miles, fill it up with gasoline in less than 5 minutes, go another 350 miles, etc. Can you do that with an electric? No? Therefore: Zero compromises? What a fucking joke.

    You simply use it in place of the water, but it still doesn't fully seal the grout. Yeah, didn't think so

    I've also seen people mix about a 2:1 ratio of grout and acrylic bonding agent when laying tile; supposedly it allows you to skip the step of sealing the grout.

    Ah, I am pouring a sink/countertop and mixing the sand, rock and portland cement AND color which means I have to mix the living shit out of it. I don't own a wheel barrow either and have to have a big enough container to do it in one pour. Was hoping you had something clever that would relay to that Thanks though. I would advise you to get a concrete mixer in that case. I despise mixing concrete and would rather buy it ready for pouring or hire a mixer. Life is so much easier with a mixer. I was going to use the Vitamix. Actually I had thought a mixer was a good plan. Was hoping to not pay to rent it though. *out of curiosity since I will mix too much, what do you do with the leftover when you do that? I helped a guy do a concrete hearth place the other day. How big of pour are you doing? For polishing you are going to want something stronger than ~8,000psi so you don't pull the cement paste out when polishing. I doubt anything off of the redi-mix truck will do that in any reasonable about of time. For the higher strength I'd suggest looking at a lower water-cement ratio and adding plasticizers to keep it workable. Oh and vibrate it well too, along with smacking the sides of the form work with a rubber mallet. Kwik-crete sells a 10-12K psi mix around here and acrylic is readily available as well. I'd just mix it straight with the acrylic and skip the water. Acrylic? wtf. You guys are going to make me research Acrylic polymer increases flexural & tensile strength and abrasion resistance of the concrete mix. Usually known as polymer modified concrete or polymer modified cement, its used a lot for decorative concrete jobs, such as countertops.

    shaker table would be a fun tool to have, though...

    pneumatic chisel with a hammer chisel bit might work if you turn regulator way down, but I doubt it

Portable mixer is your best bet; pour in the ingredients, turn it on and let it eat. Kinda like making a smoothie in a VitaMix Getting rid of the air is a bit of a pill also, best way I've seen besides a shaker table is to take a a bladeless Sawzall against the outside of the form until the bubbles stop forming.

    yup; black smoke = wasted money flooding out the tailpipe

    Pouring smoke under boost means he's not doing it right. Smoke does not mean power. i think it just has something to do with how the mod works.. once the boost builds up enough it stops smoking. in a very nonscientific test we measured a 0-60mph time of ~10sec, my friend said it was closer to 13-14 before. the mod consist of bridging a potentiometer across 2 pins on the fuel harness. here's something from a tdi forum "...what is happening is that the 10-pin connector (joining the main wire from the ECU to the Injection Pump) is being hot-wired into producing a different voltage, which alters or magnifies the ECU's signal in a similar manner that a Tuning Box does. This increases the amount of fuel the injection pump pushes and advances the timing..." You probably trick the engine into thinking it gets more air that it actually getting. Stupid mod and no way it will shave 3-4 sec off the 0-60 time. It will overfuel whenever he's off-boost. Hello high EGTs. Retune, bigger injectors nozzles, bigger intercooler (stock one is a joke) and bigger exhaust for starters. Now that's how you would go about modding a TDI, not with a resistor. What he said. Not to mention black smoke (aka soot) is toxic to the lungs and the environment. but it smells delicious You enjoy the smell of diesel fuel? Smells like money
