January is Pinewood Derby month at the museum
The Pinewood Derby was my favorite part of The Boy being in cub scouts. We came in second in his whole troop a couple years ago. I am convinced the first place kid (younger than my kid) used a pre-built kit, but since I "helped" my kid so much I kept my mouth shut.
My Pinewood Derby experience memories were of my pops saying "Oh, sorry, I'm not allowed to help you." and me finishing last with my sanded, painted brick of wood with wheels on it.
Unfortunately, no although I don't think there could have been any more chaos at that thing if it had. Wonder if there are any rules against pyrotechnics.

My dad helped, but pre-Internet everyone but us seemed to understand what made a fast car. Which is exactly the reason I got so involved. I've got the video of my kid's reaction to winning his first heat somewheres.

Well fuck!
Took the dog out this morning and found the passenger window missing. Not broken mind you, just not there. It was there as late as yesterday and neither of us have messed with the car recently.
Went to see if it had some how rolled down, but battery is acting as if it doesn't exist and I can't even pop the frunk.
And of course on a Sunday with 1-3" of snow/rain/ice coming over the next 12 hours...

Suddenly I feel like my 996 is far less janky than I thought it was.
I have never once regretted having manual frunk/engine cover releases...

Yeah the little post in the foot well to jump the frunk latch is a lot less cool than I thought it was 20 years ago. Wonder if a retrofit to the original manual style is possible/reasonable.

Both sides!!?? That's just weird. Were the doors unlocked when you found it? Maybe someone figured out how to force the window down, open the door, pop the frunk and "Somebody" stole yur battree. We all know you have a solar panel or did that come out for the winter?
WARNING PROFANITY:

In other news, the "we need to cut a small hole in your ceiling to fix the leak" has turned into "we're gonna gut the whole f**king bathroom."
Best weekend evar. Also, my storage cluster continues to bone me sans lube.
