You mean the middle school medal stop project where they have yet to learn how to bend the sheet medal?

I promise you I had a "Pinewood Derby" car (former Cub Scouts will get the reference) that I made as a 10 or 12-yr-old that looked almost exactly like this. I even painted it silver "to make it faster." Alas, came second to a kid that just used the whole block of wood and whittled enough off of it to make weight. Crushed. I have a picture somewhere for proof, but I'd never find it.

I sincerely apologize and expect angry reaction emojis.

Yup. Been there, done that. Mine looked like a miniature 9 year old’s (or whatever age I was) version of a 1930s racing car. It crashed.

Cub Scout leader here, we had 3 or 4 Cyber Truck derby cars last year and the year before. I give the kids and their parents a lot of grief since they all know my Mach-e well. I tried to get my son to build a Mach-e derby car but it ended up turning into the "Cobra Kai" charger.

Yes. By the time my wife, who parked the Mustang Mach E like a person with empathy, sent me the picture, it was too late. She’s tough, but wasn’t ready to fight a Cyber Bro.

Don’t worry, they’re likely intimidated just talking to a woman

I suspect many of them suffer from “SDE”

Well they're definitely not mechanical engineers.

I'd say what I think they really suffer from, but I'd catch a ban and get the thread locked so
