Corvette Geekery

Well, being on call this week, and I had an evening of Rain that I suddenly found myself bored (that happens so rarely lately).  I had read a post about merging USB drives and toy cars together (it was http://www.instructables.com/id/Hotweels-Flash-Drive/ as an FYI), and thought I'd give it a go myself.

It only took a couple of hours, but I built one out.  Thought it was pretty cool!



The big problem was I put the USB key in it upside down, and it wasn't exactly straight.  All in all, though, it was a pretty cool new toy.  The wheels still work (it's a functional toy car, except it has a really long, really big exhaust pipe that is square).  It functions perfectly as a USB drive, too.  Unfortunately, it didn't look completely like mine :
