* sigh *To summarize, the Pinewood Derby car I built myself for the Scouts' races this weekend looks a lot better than my new used truck does after my lovely young bride smacked it with her behemoth of a vehicle last night.
Other than that, I'm great.

Hers really.She backed into it without looking. It looks a lot worse than it is. In the scheme of things, the engine is fine, the lights are fine, the hood is pushed in maybe 1/4" but the latches still hold...
So really, just the grille needs replacing. And I may get lucky and find one at the boneyard.
On the other hand, I like my chances for raceday Saturday!

No, it's a 4-cylinder gas engine I control from the driver's seat.Oh, you mean the model? No, that's just gravity-driven down a ramp.
