Actually considered one of these but w/my luck, a gust of wind would come along & smack it into on of the fenders.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I use a pop up tent working in my driveway.

Put foam pipe insulation on the legs. Drywall screws will somewhat hold the tent down if you're on asphalt. Sandbags work better on concrete (or gravel).
