You know, I do my writing in parts more obscure. I only read these blogs because often the writing, both of staff and commenter, is of high level. But hell, as soon as I saw that hearsay paragraph, I knew exactly how badly it would end. I’d suggest you give your “friend” a swift kick for omitting the whole “and he’s

I mean, the man himself already posted, but seriously, why you gotta drag him like this? He has the resources to bring his automotive dreams to life- and we benefit on Jalopnik, for years, like since the development of the Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina, by him contributing details as a commenter.

Elizabeth do tell us about the pulitzers you’ve won. How about your anonymous friend. What’s he done besides being anonymous? We’re a NY based manufacture. We have a factory in CT where we produce fully road legal vehicles. We’re expanding that factory to meet demand which has grown to about 300 cars a year/msrp $

You might think that this is silly, but I’m going to print this reply out and and add it to an envelope I have with cool mementos of me interacting with people I admire. In my envelope I also have an email I received from RJ Scaringe of Rivian.

Deliver 40 vehicles next year. Win the N24 with our 004C, win the 24 Hours of Le Mans with our 007 LMH, win the Baja 1000 for the third time in our Boot. Enjoy ourselves.

I said it on your instagram, and I’ll reiterate it here, I knew there was a reason why I admired you. 

The 2019 SCG Glickenhaus Boot that beat The Ford Factory Race Bronco by 5 hours and 15 minutes at the 2020 Baja 1000 winning class 2 for the second time in two years is fully road legal based on your post which is generally, but not completely correct.  That however is history. All current SCG Glickenhaus vehicles are

Well that’s fucking awesome. Props to you for the Boot, and the future of the 008!

Mr. G has been in business a few years. I think he could teach most of us a thing or two.

Our engineers have huge Baja and Paris to Dakar experience. 008 will meet all Class 10 requirements and Paris to Dakar Buggy requirements. All. Ford didn’t think we could build a Class 2 Glickenhaus Boot that could beat their Factory Bronco. They were wrong by 270 miles. 008 will be equally as righteous.

Glick and his team are building a pedigree year by year. 

...and it’s most likely FIA certified.  Racing is expensive.

Our Team can also provide race support at The Baja and runs a rally in Sonora that is a qualifier for Paris to Dakar.

The engineers we work with have won Paris To Dakar in class when it was Paris to Dakar.

Exactly. We’re pleased with the orders we’ve received over that last few days.  

Indeed. I suspect if you buy in, you’re buying into the engineering and the materials (e.g. Titanium, Carbon Fiber, etc.). Glick is doing good work, and he walks it like he talks it, that means a lot.

Props to Glickenhaus for developing the manual via repeated assembly/dis-assembly. Anything to make the process easier is a definite plus

It doesn’t move at all. That is an inner frame required by race regulations to enable the window to quick release from outside the car. The frame is attached to the door on the sides and the window to the frame from the front. That gap will be trimmed with rubber. It’s not now so we can check the fasteners. 

Our Road cars are totally usable every day.

James, I’m not an engineer. I’m just an amateur racer. I’m not used to seeing steel roll cages in carbon-tub race cars (LMP, DPI).
