You know what chaps my ass? I spent my life savings turning a pinewood derby kit into a dog.

I ( @darickmaasen ) made this Dumb and Dumber–themed pinewood derby car for the 2nd annual @seventhcornergallery Art Car Pinewood Derby show this weekend.

You’re bothered that you wanted to do an expensive thing that appeals to yourself and maybe some other people but not enough that it might make you a profit? Okay, well you can either enjoy your thing despite the money you spent on the experience or you can cry about lack of attention and/or profit.

For the joy! Look at it! Art!

I asked why it chapped your ass and you said for the joy of it. I didn’t ask why you did it, it’s clearly because you thought it would be cool and that’s fine, but why were you feeling annoyed?

I love the reflection effect on the windows, what a smart way to convey they are windows!

I wanted them to look like they were reflecting the Rocky Mountains.

Why didn’t you hollow them out and have a passenger compartment?

“Huh…. I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this”

That’s sick! Isn’t there some height limitation?
crapidrawatwork@reddit (OP)
This isn’t an official pinewood derby, it’s more of an art car show. So no limitations!
MGPS@reddit
I see. My daughter’s last pinewood derby car she wanted a “blue tongued Skink” lol that was a challenge.

If you make weight for an official race you will 100% win best painted.
