HEY, Carbon Fiber Fans.....

Don't know if it'll fit in the MINI, but it is a great addition to any home...

Sorry if you have already seen and/or used this.

Beavis: "Yeah, yeah, turd bucket..."

Butthead: "Heh, heh, I have to go.... , chicks will dig it"

Beavis: "Yeah, yeah, chicks dig cool turd buckets!"

And now I have to go...

Since carbon fiber is lighter than porcelain, and weight slows you down, does this carbon fiber commode make you "go faster?"

I had a similar question. We all know porcelain can be... stained. How does CF perform under similar conditions?

No $h1t ! ...So, does this make you 'go' any faster?

Bolt on mods: Toto 'washlet' bidet seat. ...Or does that make it less sporty?

Edit: ...Damn, Morris 9982 - you beat me to it

Please Tell It Is Not For Poser

Please tell it is genuine CF. I wouldn't want it to fail during critical mission. Only the best will do.

holy crap!

Just what I've been missing in my life.

Ferrari 360 spider - check
Gulfstream IV - check
Private Caribbean Island - check
European Chalet - check
"bottomless pit" bank account - check
CF turd bucket - new must have

I gotta say it's the best use of carbon fibre, ever.
