I almost don't want to see a build thread. I kind of just want to be surprised by what shows up to compete.

Since I paid one gold-egg-laying goose for this thing and got 5 magic beans in return, what is the conversion rate for the budget sheet?

Power is going to be 4 mice, but they are as strong as four horses.

I will sell you the $450 horse drivetrain out of the duster for $75 if you want to pull this off at the last minute challenge car

Can I get dimensions on that and maybe a price if your challenge dreams fall through, that would be a perfect hat for my golf cart abomination I am working on.

What are those?  3" casters?  If you can cross the 1/4 mile line at 100mph, that's what?  12,000 rpm?  That should be exciting!

If you are not wearing the crystal footwear that goes with the vehicle, I will protest the entry. I would also hang around with you at the event cause I hear your sisters are easy.

Dint worry as soon as it launches the fairy dust kicks in and it hovers. I just have to remember to keep it low enough to trip the beacons.

I currently have the elves making the right size glass slippers. Dont want to get a blister and safety gear is free to the budget right?

Unfortunately the carriage got repossed by the elves or dwarves or whoever in the magical world serves as tow truck drivers.

I guess i had my time with it and it was needed somewhere else.

Maybe next year i can see about getting my hands on a mostly functional death star...
