So, if I'm posting here, and the other laptop is running Blender, I'll call it multi-tasking....That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
Okay, I'll get off your back. Hope to see some results soon.

Bought a dedicated laptop last week just for the CAD/Blender stuff because my present laptop couldn't handle them without crashing, and I kept getting "low memory" warnings. Takes HUGE amounts of memory and preferably a GPU (ergo-new laptop designed for gaming) to keep running smooth, and me from banging my head against the table. I have a real problem with not 'saving' work as I go, and really hate having to start over.

Not wishing to pry tooo much, did a new laptop with this kind of power cost more or less than an Elio, no options or automatic.

Used on Ebay, refurbed and upgraded (graphics-wise)....$157 shipped. Works perfect! And since it's my 'dedicated' CAD computer, it won't get all hogged down with all my music and audiobooks.
The Black and White Policecar version is now ready..

They will lots to police for meter ticket writers.
OK, I sent them the links.You might want to share this with 'Fleet Sales'.....
I'm going to pay some attention to the headlight issue. The outrigger wheels have a resonance with classic old fashioned cars and 'flying' headlights might look interesting as well as make people feel more secure about the 'narrow' look at night.
So there are two ways to structure that, extend from the body, which requires a hole(s), or have it somehow bolt on down at the suspension.
OK there is a third, modify the external mirror to add running lights.
What would look best? Other ideas? I'll take your top suggestions, and make at least three models to compare the options. New wheel covers and other accessories will be compared as well. So what things do ya want, if money and what others think was no issue?
(I.e. Dance like nobody is looking...)

I like the running lights on the mirrors idea! At night especially, the more lights the better...BE SEEN, BE SAFE!!!
