The best way to approach any project is to plan poorly and don't do a budget.

That way, you can destroy whatever was good about you are working on - and turn it into a complete mess.

There's a couple of posts on the forum about guys wanting to have a C3 trailer to tow behind their C3. This would be perfect. Think of all the storage space and reduction in weight.

Sounds like a deal, eh?
