sounds like fun!
good reason to actually go outside
other than to just stare at my Fit
oh I could be wrong (and I usually am *frown*) but I don't believe that the link(s) for the
cutout/foldup work....

jdjohnson9-haaahaa you thought that was bad?
I ran out of ink right before, so it did some funky colors and lines so
in order this is what I did...
1) found a color combo that would print
2) tweeked the contrast to help out the intensity of what was left in the
cartridges
3)car came out tide water metalic...hahaaa
4) ended up with really great bronze rims!!! ahahahaa
5) but inks were obviously running low...so I printed it smaller to save some inks and hopefully save my but If I have to repeat a mistake..
5)black cardridge then dies...back to square one!
6)figure I would just color in all the black parts with a pen or similar
7)tore the paper....
8)printed what I could on a thicker card stock like stuff
9)but the paper was not apparently bright white enough...lost all the color and stuff again
10) printed with higher contrast and tweeked the levels and curves again in PS
11)Since I had to downsize the foldup so much I could not cleanly fold the
cardstock like paper
12)went back to regular typing paper (im too cheap for photo stuff...haahaaha irony alert...)
13) forgot to tone down the setting from when I was printing on the not so white stuff and the Fit came out like a neon sign!!!
14)tweeked the settings for the new paper/output and printed away....
15)forgot that I downsampled the original for ink saving reasons...and printed it out at yet an even smaller size!!!
16)could not fold the car well since it came out silly small and now it looks like a spitwad
17)FINALlY GOT IT ALL WORKED OUT!!! PHEWWW!!! AND THEN IT GAVE UP THE GOST AND COMPLETELY RAN OUT OF INK
18) I think I will just draw the darn thing and fold it up with colored pencils for the hawt graphixxx.
so I finally got a new cartridges but me and my printer are not currently on speaking terms....
If anybody read this I am impressed and sorry for your troubles...ahhaaa

ROFLMAO!!!! That sucks Snap Fit. I pulled mine apart and retaped/trimmed and now it looks somewhat presentable but still looks like a 3rd grader did it but this time a smart 3rd grader so i did go up in the world but only by like 1 or 2 . Good luck to all on this contest. We should say screw the pics of the actual cars and just take pics of how terrible the cuttouts that we put together look. haha. Now that would be a fun thread.

Here are the two pics of my two Fits
This may not look special but it is to me... If you look at the time stamp it is 4:28am. My Gym opens at 4:30am everyday and I show up to get my daily workout in.
I track my S2000 and have won many Time Trial events in the northeast. This year I'm looking to work the Fit and track it also. This leads to why the location is special.... Besides lightening the cars for track events, I can also lose weight myself. Just like my Fit... I want to be fit
So the dedication to preparing for track events gets me to the gym at 4:30am to get in top shape for this season of track events.
Btw Asimo wants to drive the little Fit These pics were taken this morning... It was so cold and windy I figured the dash was the best place to put the car.

Alright I got inspired after I built the second H-Fit last night
I decided to drive to Great Kills park on Staten Island early this morning. It was a nice scenic drive down by the Marina area of the bay. The sun was rising and I knew this would make a good setting for another shot at this. The Great Kills park brings back memories for me from High School where I used to hang out. It was a good place for car meets and fishing!!! The "point" was also visited at night during those days
I had to put rocks on top of them to keep them from blowing away... the wind at the beach was pretty strong. I figured these were more artistic then my last attempt so please use these to count in the competition not the first pics....
