Yeah, I actually broke a couple bulbs in the process. I brushed off as much as I could, then went to the quarter car wash and hosed it down. The car was solid ice for a day, but no snow!! The ice actually made it look pretty cool!

Pure genius. Nice job! Some how-to would be pretty cool so others could duplicate next year. How about a FAQ in the FAQ emporium?!

Soo... Some A**hole went nuts on my car last night. I was at a bar and left my car running in the parking lot with the lights and music going. When I came out, I found my car with the candy canes broken off, the lights dangling, and the deer destroyed. They even set off my car alarm (probably what stopped further damage). I'm just ****ed that with all the lights and sound and even the car alarm, nobody did anything. They did it right in front of the windows! I'm just glad I didn't catch them in the act because I would probably regret what I would have done.

Oh well... maybe I'll do it again next year.

Ah man I hate vandals. People need to grow up sometimes. I'm glad that this didn't dampen your spirit. It looked great.

I can't really say how frustrated I am right there with you. I was just thinking today along the same lines (I went into a local chatroom to ask about where I can find something and was utterly dumbfounded). I keep myself pretty sheltered and sometimes forget the lack of decency and honor in the world, it goes right along with ones education and upbringing. I don't see that at work and in this forum, thankfully. I'm sorry it happened to you, and I'm glad to see you're already thinking about next year.

Due to popular demand around home, I decided to repair the car. I got some new decorations and hung everything back up. It's not as good as it originally was, but it works. Takes more than a couple assholes to knock my spirit down!

Would it be ok, to make a link to your youtube video on the homepage of the Fusion Store?

I am thinking of putting it in the Robotics and Various Other Projects section of the new website.

Has someone done some robotics yet? I've been thinking about doing a big Johnny 5 type robot and giving it GPS and a bunch of other goodies.

I have one of those RC Hummers and I was going to get one in there. But I have been too busy with the software and website.
