Uhhh...

[ctraugh]

Is that a soap box derby car? I think I saw the little rascals build something like that on TV

 

[-calvin-]

That larger picture makes my day, that is my new background on my desktop.

Heh, it really is a shame, that is a very nice engine.

I got another ill add later. We called him, hes fer real

That is so sweet, my favorite part is the steering wheel.

 

[SNateYingling]

OMG...
WTF is that?

I hope he never took that for a test ride. One of my favorite websites (besides this one now) is Instructables.com and there a few wooden karts on there. I'll see if I can dig some up.

$190...is he serious? If by some far stretch I would ever think of buying something like that (I would have to be very, very intoxicated btw) I would offer him no more then the $25.00 I would have paid for the sheet of plywood at Lowes!

Now I don't feel so bad about screwing up the springs on my throttle!! LoL

Catch some air with that thing and watch it behave like a kite.
Hang on!!!

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Ah Ha! A GO-KITE! NOW it's worth $190!

Heres the last pic:

Too bad he didnt get it "finished" and test drive it. That would be even better.

 

[Blazkowiez]

Awwe man, he deleted it... maybe he found our posting. Thats classic.

 

[Doc Sprocket]

But I wanted a go-kite! Now I can't have it.
I guess I'll have to build my own. But I won't use the crappy, low-grade materials he did. Nosirree. Got me some rigid pink styrofoam insulation boards, tuck tape, and a powerstapler. Nothing but the best baby! Oh yeah- and some rollerblade wheels!

Its too bad i didnt know about this about 2 weeks ago. I just went through harrisonburg on the way back from DC last week

This project is what happens when someone takes Wood instead of metal in school and then on top of that fails the class.... LOL i still cant get over this thing, it makes my day

 

[devino246]

This makes my month. and if he had taken wood shop, it would look alot nicer than this. The wood would be sanded, stained, and finished
