“I don’t have an engineering degree. I have an obsession.”

Welcome to the archive. If you are looking for a glossy brochure from a billion-dollar EV startup, you are in the wrong place.

The SR-X Rover isn’t a product. It’s a projection. It is the result of decades spent watching sci-fi movies, playing flight sims, and looking at the car in my driveway and thinking, “This could be better. This could be magic.”

I am not a professional automotive engineer. I am a builder, a dreamer, and a kid of the 80s who never quite got over the idea that a car should be able to talk to you, or fly, or fold into a briefcase.

THE PHILOSOPHY: REPURPOSED TECH

The core idea behind the Rover is simple: What if you found a piece of advanced military hardware abandoned in the desert, and decided to turn it into the ultimate recreational vehicle?

You wouldn’t use it to invade a country. You’d use it to go camping. You’d take the targeting computer and reprogram it to find the best tacos. You’d take the exoskeleton interface and use it to feel every pebble on a canyon road.

THE PROCESS

This site is a living document of that build.

The Genesis Log (This Page): This is where I track the evolution of the dream. The influences, the failures, and the big ideas.

The System Logs (Below): These are the technical deep dives. The “How-To” guides for a machine that doesn’t technically exist yet.

I don’t claim to have invented the wheel. I just want to put a cooler tire on it.

Next Steps

You are now fully armed to launch.

Post the Genesis Preface (Sticky).

Post Article 1: The Jumpseat (First Regular Post).

Future Updates: As you said, in a few weeks, you post “Jumpseat V2.0: The New Hinge,” linking to the real-world hardware you found.

You have a clear voice, a clear aesthetic, and a clear plan. Go build it.
