Q: How can people get on your good side forever and ever?
A: Well, I'm so very glad you asked! Contribute to the Squadron website. Write-ups, images, information, plans, images, ideas, images, help processing all the images... Oh, and pictures would help a lot, too. [So what if I've never actually been asked this particular question? Just thought it might be, you know: Informative.]

Road Squadron Information |
| The idea for a Squadron of Star Wars cars formed while I was giving my car its 'Red 5' paint job back in 1999. It was the logical progression, I thought. It also seemed impossibly far-fetched, as I'd never seen another spaceship car of any kind when I started my personal mess. |
| Little did I know that my little Tercel would cause such a stir in the Star Wars online community. Shortly after the car's website was advertised in the official Starwars.com Homing Beacon, I was accosted by a digital tidal wave of E-mail that didn't even start to ebb until about a month later. They were coming in faster than I could turn out replies. I think I was in some sort of shock. |
| But most shocking of all were the people who wrote me saying that I had inspired them to buy some auto-grade spraypaint and several rolls of blue masking tape. After holding dialogs with about a dozen of these, it dawned on me that a squadron of Star Wars cars might be possible after all. It was 3 in the morning when the name "Road Squadron" hit me, with the force of a well-lobbed brick. What can I say? That endless stream of E-mail and all the Mountain Dew that went with it must have made me a bit punchy. |
| Five years after the beginnings of the squadron, the site is now open for all spaceship car owners to show off their handiwork. I am well aware that there are many more potential RS cars out there than I know about, so please, contact me if you have one, or know of one that is not exhibited here. |
| Remember, this is all in good fun, and please drive safely. They know what we look like. |
