For my first instructable - I will be showing you how to turn a picture of a car into a Flash vector drawing / illustration - auto icon. A bit like electronic tracing, once it's in Flash you will have the ability to change the color, ad graphics, add text, experiment with vinyl, etc.

This seems to happen to me every time: I'm rushing back to the airport trying to make a flight, and I still need to fill up the rental car with gas.

Not normally our thing, but holy crap this is just awesome. This map is the approximate journey of [Makiko Sugino] - so far. She's been riding a Yamaha 250 all over the world, and she's still going.

[Justin N] sent in one of his projects. It's a digital dashboard gauge for his Subaru. It's built around an arduino board with a text LCD and standard automotive senders.

I've been meaning to post something about these for a while. Jim builds motors for EV hobbiests on the side - one of his cooler creations is the siamese electric motor.

Yup, more EV stuff today. This car [Cache mirror]is just so impressive that I think it's definitely worthy. The car is a Birkin S-3 reproduction kit.

This one's pretty simple, but anyone who's ever spent time tweaking an engine will appreciate it. [Kevin]'s been using a wiimote to measure the acceleration of his car.

OBD-II became the mandatory I/O diagnostic port on cars starting around 1996 in the US. Considering that the interface consists of a couple of I/O lines, serial/usb adapters have been ridiculously expensive for quite a while - especially newer USB versions.

While I'm waiting for my last stepper motor, I've been pondering my electric motorcycle build. While eyeballing batteries, I ran across a really impressive human/electric recumbent bike project.

According to the completely authoritative sources of youtube and metacafe, you can extend the range of your car remote by holding the remote to your head.
