I don't remember what the average lifetime of a crate was but the kitty was replenished every time it went below 10 bottles or so.
Ahm, guilty :-)

In Europe there was no DataKote, and I think it's been discontinued here as well. So I had to make do with whatever was in the budget. And that wasn't always much. I remember that I applied the clear coat on my regen receiver from a bottle, using a brush. Afterwards I was a bit disappointed but got used to the uneven look, actually started liking it. Nowadays it's all the rage and called faux painting :-)

Apparently it has, recently. I've seen it in the last ten years, or so, but a web search brings up nothing. I'm not much for faux painting, "woodtone", or "antiquing", either. ;-)

It depends. Last week I stayed in a hotel in Mountain View where faux painting was done so well that it made you feel like you were in a mediterranean resort. The weird thing is they combined that with modern furniture, could have been Art Deco, don't know this stuff, but it looked really cool. Great place, and one of the best (free) breakfasts I ever had. It's this one:

aRegular around $130/night. Keep in mind it's right next to a freeway but that didn't bother me.
The client engineer I traveled with has this habit of booking everything last minute on hotwire.com. You select how many stars and click on "book", without knowing which hotel and exactly where. Once the bid is booked you are told hotel and location. This got us two rooms at the Zico for $50 each. Fifty! Oh, and on top of that he also booked the car via that and landed us a Ford Mustang. Yeehaw!

Mo and I rented a red Mustang convertible, by accident, in western Massachusetts. Horrible car. The top was a nightmare to get up and down, the ersatz 60's round chrome instruments were unreadable, and the turn signal sound was a loud, poorly synthesized fake of an old fashioned thermal plink-plonk thing. It did look sporty.

Ours was actually really cool. The 60's chrome instruments are still there but with large numbers and very readable. The car had mood lighting and you could change the color. Heck, even the pedal area was lit for whatever reason. The turn signal sounded like a real relay, or maybe I fell for an improved synthesized plink-plonk :-)
It did have lots of gusto. However, it is definitely a car for no more than two occupants, the rear bench space is pathetic and we did not have a convertible.

Nice. They changed the outside design a wee bit. Of course, the real thing would be the one with the V8 in there but those are hard to find.

The 2011 V6 is a completely different car--it's as fast as the 2010 GT, and the EPA laughingly says it gets 32 MPG on the highway. It's on the short list for my next vehicle.

Ours was brand-new. The engine sounded a lot smoother than they used to and it sure had power. 32mpg? That I can't quite believe.

There aren't any others on SWMBO list. It'll likely be a 2012 model, though. Maybe for the big 6-0. ;-)

Very few GTs at the rental places and then they usually charge a hefty premium on those. Probably because people renting them get that Mario Andretti rush the millisecond the are behind the wheel.

This ought to be _the_ real car, and I believe they make or plan to make an electric one:
AFAIK the electric one takes 4sec from 0-60mph while the gasoline version is a couple hundred msec zippier.

Actually that's surprising... DC motors have low-speed torque out the kazoo.
As electric vehicles get tweaked-up I expect them to beat gasoline-powered... at least off-the-line.
I don't know if any of you recognize the name, Glen Madland? He founded ICE (Integrated Circuit Engineering) along with Howard Dicken. I was the ghost writer of all the training courses (at night, daytime at Moto).
Glen and his son used to make dragsters using around 100V worth of lead acid and starter motors ;-)
So fast off-the-line they had to use helmet straps to prevent broken necks ;-) ...Jim Thompson
