    I bet this could appeal to a few folk here. Wonder how well they do in impact.

    This is almost as cool as donating your body to become a crash test dummy.

    Ever heard of having your ashes turned into diamonds?

    A volley of .30-'06 or .308 would make a very nice sendoff for an old rifleman, I think.

    What would the automotive equivalent be? Mix some ashes into rubber compound? Turn you into biodiesel?

    Turn you into Apex Seals for a rotary? LOL

    Turn you into rubber compound, funeral procession ends in epic burnout.

    Or perhaps mix ashes with new track surface for your favorite course?

    Why don't I ever think of sure-fire moneymaking schemes like this?

    ^^ and how! I vote for the smokey burnout method, or put in the water box at a NHRA nationals.

    No Joke. Wayne State (MI) crash sled still uses cadavers.

    Our company secures a school that studies cadavers. On a side note many of our employees have, while on midnight rounds, simultaneously E36 M3 themselves and almost shot someone who couldn't have been more dead.

    If a body goes to research, it is researched. If my grandmother signed for it, I'm happy with whatever research they do. If she wants to be made into ammo, so be it.
