    That's funny, I was just about to say "hey is that a carbon fiber drive shaft?"

    So what's the difference?

    It is my understanding that composite is plastic. (carbon fiber reinforced plastic)

    "carbon fiber" is a black fabric made of graphite, that drive shaft is probably half fiberglass, half graphite and resin to hold it together. composite is not plastic, it weighs about the same as plastic but is one of the strongest man made materials on earth.

    What the hells up with the 4 feet of nothingness in the front? Are AM's really that hollow?

    If those wheels are 20" it's more like 16" of nothingness. But yeah, I don't see a radiator so I'd assume that goes in there tilted back at an angle...

    I hate it when you call them shocks. They're DAMPERS.

    The moral of this story is that no one cares about Jishory's ivory tower bullshit.
