Are you driving to Celebration III: As I said about the last one: They couldn't stop me with a whole pack of Wild White Wampas.
I've always been a fan. I've also always been the sort of person who follows up on my crazy ideas, instead of just talking about what I could have done. So far, the Star Wars car experience has been the most fun I've ever had with total strangers.
I'm not all Star Wars, either. Think of this as a rather unusual hobby, not unlike Stamp Collecting.
Okay... it's nothing like Stamp Collecting. Forget it.
Point being, outside of this, I do have a life. Purge your mind of any ideas you may have about me being socially handicapped, mentally inept, or just a plain old shut-in. Couldn't be more wrong. I bet I have more fun than any three "normal" people. (If you count yourself as being "normal", that means I have about three times more fun than you.) That, of course, is why it sometimes takes me several months to reply to my E-mail....


Vehicle: Red 5

Just after the battle of Yavin
Date Created: April 3rd, 1999. Originally a 1990 Toyota Tercel.
The exterior has been painted, and some things have been added. More things have yet to be added to the exterior, and while it's not exactly a secret I don't want to go too far in to my plans. I have removed all the carpeting, and painted the floor silver. I removed the dome light and installed superbright white LEDs in both doors to do the dome light's old job. Conduit has been run all over the place, and I've also managed to round up a couple neon tubes for under-seat lighting. Looks great off the silver floor.
I need more nighttime lighting, most of which I will probably either design and build myself, or inexpertly kluge together from off-the-shelf PC mods. Both ways are appealing, as they allow me to flex my rudimentary electronics design skills.
I also plan to... build... things.
Haha, I got a new engine, too.
