I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Is this contraption more reliable than a certain trailer that sat at my house for 2 weeks in Venice when I lived in Miami? :D

Just like the Gaylord car. In the beginning there was only one. It was a hit success, then it was reused to make the second model. It took some time before a second car. Then stopped before 3 I think.

Do your research. :)

I swear if I lived closer I'd come pick it up. Paint it vibrant pink and display it as yard art. :)

Yard art?

Yep - for the Art Basel crowd. I'd rejuvenate it with a hot pink enamel paint. Then highlight it at night with some LED lighting.

I decided to stop at the Kona brewery on the big island to wet the whistle between palm PRA's that day.

I saw the lipstick palms in the planter behind my table and thought taking a picture with a pint of liquid aloha was a no brainier.:D

This is a great thread Rafael:greenthumb:

Cheers!
