Description: What is now known as "STP" was invented by German scientists during WWII as a response to Germany's need for lubrication of the German war-machine vehicles. WWII US Army divisions in Africa that overtook German Afrika Korps vehicles alleged that the Germans employed an engine oil that is now known as STP formulation full-strength in their air-cooled 4-cylinder engines, which successfully traveled through the hot African Desert war-front without seizing due to friction and extreme heat. How the Germans' original chemical synthesis formulation found its way to the U.S. after WWII is not known, but most likely it made that journey along with many of the other German innovations through the distribution of technology through the spoils of war.

Description: Endless Summer 5.1 is based on a photo I took in Summer of 2012 during a trip to the Mazda Factory and Museum in Hiroshima, Japan. A dear family friend of mine works for Mazda's head office and came along for the tour. When we got to the 787B, he pulled some strings and managed to get me 10-minutes alone with the legend itself. This design is based one of those images I was lucky enough to take.
