I kinda knew, but didn't know all of the details... pretty cool read.

cool.

or hot, if you take into account the huge ovens.

Also there are only a few places capable of making it. You can be assured that no motorcycle aftermarket company makes their own... they are just buying it and cutting it into their desired shape.

Sometimes chemistry takes a lot of shit to do something. People wonder why a little pill could cost a ton. They forget that the pharmaceutical companies might have had to use 10gallons of expensive shit to make their little pill. Then some just want a lot of money too.

I wonder how much this beast costs. All Carbon Fiber Lamborghini...

That is a Bugatti. You should be ashamed of yourself. A Lambo would shit all over that Bugatti in terms of styling.

Damn, you're right.

Are Veyron's CF from the get go?

They also had a ballin ass ferrari with a lot of CF on it at this place.

First CF one I've seen. Not sure I dig the gold trim, although Im sure it attracts attention. Lil' Wayne is sure to buy one.

Looks like cf to me...

Probably. I took that pic at an exotic car dealer in Abu Dhabi near an apartment I was staying at. Those people pimp out any ride they get.

For some reason it got me thinking...



Carbon fiber is the result when Chuck Norris knits something.

Carbon fiber is created from Chuck Norris' beard. You can only get it in such small quantities because he doesn't trim much off his beard each month.

Carbon Fiber is what Chuck Norris eats to get his daily allowance of fiber. The result is the black substance everyone buys for their car trim. :lol:

Chuck Norris was thought to have been part carbon fiber. It turns out carbon fiber is part Chuck Norris.

It was said Chuck Norris used carbon fiber condoms, but Chuck Norris doesn't use condoms, he just stares at women to impregnate them.

pfft - Carbon Fiber is so yesterday.
