Perspective corrected on photo of photo. This is what it would look like straight on.

Used to ride in an area with one of the largest areas of serpentine soil. It’s very high in asbestos. It’s a weird soil that doesn’t support the typical sierra foothills foxtails and grasses. It does support some flowers and vegetation and lots of buckbrush with extremely sharp spikes (referred to by anyone who rode there as *uckbrush).

It does break up into very squared off pieces which might look a bit like snakes scales. Perhaps thats why they call it serpentine?

I kinda dig it.

Or maybe because that's where the serpents live? https://tenor.com/bahUV.gif

LOL. Red Hills certainly is rattlesnake country, but then all of the Sierra foothills is.

Am I having a stroke? What is this thread about?

Very very very much looks like a GI Joe Toy to me. Almost like you’d expect a bunch of COBRA soldiers to pile out of it.

I do like it though.

I blame @Crissa for my OT geological excursion. She triggered an oddball piece of trivia in my brain which brought up some fond memories.

Gosh I hope we see some other relics from vehicle development on this. I really enjoy Teslas approach.

Thanks for posting. How did we not see this before?

 

[Crissa]

Yeah, I grew up in Curry County. So serpentine soils are what I played in.

They didn't use it in the launch!
