pinewood derby anyone? I present the RED SWINGLINE STAPLER CAR!

Here is the source of our inspiration.



the inspiration and the car without it's wheels.


the car. and the original-an official red swingline.
here is the tinfoil name plate , of course since it's shiny you can't see the wonder of it.
from the back. comparison. yeah why i don't know but still COOL!



weigh in is tonight. i have to take him. lucky me. *(lance is out for a guys night)

yeah it is a red swingline stapler.

have you seen office space? it's too funny! we saw the movie and then i made it my mission to obtain my own real red swingline. we actually have two. one for each of us. awesome! and now Peyton will have his own. a nerd following in his parents footsteps!

it was Peyton's idea. and Lance and Peyton built it last night. i finished it today with the silver oval. and the silver strike plate. totally tin foil! FABULOUS!

we race on Thursday. whoohoo! I'll be sure to take pictures and maybe even post video. i know! so exciting!

next year we get to make two cars! AHHH gotta love having a boy in scouts!

maybe i should buy Peyton this...

LOL! LOVE IT! And we LOVE that movie, Umm yeah. I bought the DVD for Jeff a couple of years ago and it has a few funny cd rom games on it. Seriously cool car!

Julia THat is hilarious! Very creative. It was Chase's last year we did not do our best. I guess we only have about 15 more cars to go to make a winner.

Jenifer said...

Allison said...

LOVE IT!! That is one aewsome looking car. Since we jsut finished our race at the end of last month all I have to say is GRAPHITE. Have him apply the graphite as much as he can. He has to keep spinning the wheels. The more he has and spinning the faster the car will be.

Leslie said...

Love the car!! Hope it Wins...My brother once made a Bannana and a Sailboat and other things just for the singles ward. And his fancy cars, like yours..always won!!

Although, It's not always about winning, but to my Husband..IT IS!!

Laurie said...

Wow, that is so creative! It looks just like the real thing.

Jenn said...

Too funny! I love it! I might need to get me one too!

Janeen said...

That car is so cute. I'm always impressed that someone can make something so cool out of a block of wood. Ours are always pretty boring, nothing too creative. I think it's so cute how excited and into it you are. I need to change my attitude. This will be our
13th pinewood derby, and I've lost some of the excitement. Sad, huh? Good luck!

Shannon said...

So funny and sounds like a ton of fun!

raising4boys said...
