    I was out on one of my Preserves and found a goat skull. I figured it would suffice since I couldn't find any cattle horns to mount on the hood of my Ranch Edition Prius.... :p

    *This goes along with my Eco Hick t-shirt in case you were wondering*

    I'm sure that will give you 1 - 2 mpg with the improved aerodynamics from the goat skull. :madgrin:

    Perfect. The Ranch Edition Prius is nearly complete. :)

    The goat might be safer on the dash, though. People tend to steal hood ornaments. Unless you rigged it up with glowing eyes and a proximity detector. :evil:

    Of course he is. Look at that grass, who ever heard of green grass. Grass is brown. :)

    3.14 MPG.

    True that. It would be more aerodynamic that way but it loses some of the aggressiveness. I may not have a Ram Charger like Dodge but I do have a Goat Charger!

    Yeah, I figured if I washed the bugs off it just wouldn't be a ranch car. It needs a bit of grit! lol

    Thanks bru!

    Nope, I'm cheating an using PS. I used my old Nikon CoolPix S4 so it's not a great camera although it rocks for macro shots! I know PS is the devil but it was better than leaving the pics the way they were. :(

    The sky tends to be grey rather than blue, but the grass is always green around here. And yes, I mean the stuff on the lawn. :p

    That makes me want some Birria de Chivo.:cool:

    It looks good but would leave an ugly dent in your hood if someone hit it or leaned on it. You need an easily removable padded mount so you can take it off when parked.

    Maybe I can use a clear bra to protect the hood and the goat head? It may improve coefficient drag too. I should have roffl test is at the JPL wind tunnel! :)

    The pic was taken at our Doty Ravine Preserve which is only a couple miles from your house off Gladding Rd.

    No need to run it in the tunnel, it will make a 3.14% improvement.:D

    The skulls acts like on the nose cone of a supersonic jet. I wonder if goat horn is considered a refractory material?

    Nope. Some trivia... animal horn has some characteristics of a thermoplastic.
