ThreadLe Manss again
Three things:
1. The deadline for sending them cars has been extended to May 16th. Yes, that’s right, I spent around $20 for overnight shipping FOR NO REASON. Oh well. It’s just money.
2. The photo above can’t be all the cars they’ve received. It just can’t be. If it is, Threadless.com customers are LAAAAAAAAAZY.
3. That’s my car all the way on the right. Yeah, I’m vain.
That is so bitchin’.

Oddly enough, the car that’s getting the most kudos is the “Bill Pullman” car which probably took literally 5 minutes to make. It embodies the whole “anti-” thing: anti-design, anti-stress, anti-aesthetic… And there are some on their way to Threadless that look even worse.
I’ve learned my lesson… Next year (assuming Threadless does another competition) I’m going to just buy axles and wheels. Then I’m going to find a tree branch in my backyard, cut it down to 7″, nail in the axles w/ wheels and tape a bunch of pennies to it. Then I’m sending it in.
And I won’t be even slightly surprised if I win.
