Local denim makers here in Nashville, Imogene + Willie, hosted a Pinewood Derby race in their backyard on Thursday night. I entered on a whim and won first place.

Also, when naming and painting my car, I learned that there were different spelling of Selvage and Selvedge depending on the country. The more you know!

Nice work! My grandpa’s used to take turns helping us with our cars. My Mom’s Dad made wedge cars like yours that won speed medals. My Dad’s Pop made little Lambos or Ferrari’s that won best in show but made it down the track in what felt like minutes after everyone else’s

@chrisjohnnick yeah man! Awesome

They also had a Best in Show and a Worst in Show category for the competition as well. There were 64 racers total. Wish I would have taken more photos of the other cars and the event, but they had photographers and videographers for the event doing all that. Can't wait to see all of that stuff when they post it all!

I haven't made a derby car since my scouting days in the mid to late 90's. Definitely didn't win any races back then, but didn't know all the secrets and tricks that I learned when building this one.

I wish I had my old Scouts car. It was not fast but it had some sexy lines. ️

I did a little looking into this guy and have watched a few of his tool reviews on youtube many years ago. Not sure what happened between then and now but it's not good. He's got loads of IH stuff as you can see in a lot of his more recent youtube thumbnails.

As a lifelong portlander I went out to run errands today armed with birkenstocks, a water bottle and earbuds.....am I missing something?

Gross. Better watch out, he’s probably on the forum.

@Matt the combo of Buscemi, lipstick and ELO in this clip brings me measurable amounts of joy

@Clint_D Wing nut cosplay. I’m surrounded by this horseshit in Missouri and it’s disgusting.

[sabergirl]

I’d say as Americans it is unfortunately our lot in life to be drowning in this horseshit everywhere.
