As long as I'm on my soapbox...
I'll never understand why, when we pay garbage pick up fees, people will spend the money on gas and time wasted to go into the countryside and dump trash. I live in poor white trash country. Is it the same where you live?
This was taken over the side of a bridge, out in the country. Every single piece of trash that you see there would have been picked up at the curb by the garbage collection co.
I wonder sometimes, if a few hundred thousand years from now, Geologists will study the strange layer of plastics in the Earth's crust that will signify the 20th and 21st century.
Together with our two boys I spent a lot of time to build a car for each one of them. The Soapbox Race organised by the Youth Center www.judiff.lu in Differdange since 17 years

I can not tell you why the 1970 Opel calender featured a photo of a downhill soapbox race, nor what Opel imagined to gain with it. I can only see the Opel name on the wheels of the two orange or yellow vehicles. Maybe the sons of an Opel executive participated, Opel sponsored and the boys had to appear in the calander.
What I wonder is, does this kind of racing still exist today? Or has it disappeared althogether because it is not fashionable in our Playstation and X-Box years anymore to participate?
A Bernal Heights tradition, the fearless racers wind their way down a death-defying mountain race course that rises above urban San Francisco.
BEAR: What do you expect when you find a genuine soap box?
SCRUFFY: Phew! It's hot work in the pit lane!
Eat your heart out Mario!!

Today the We're Here group members are joining in the
I Declare!!! group because today Canada is going to the polls to elect members of the House of Commons to the 44th Canadian Parliament. .
Two sweet little racers from the set 60459 - with wheels that I intend to use in the upcoming rover month.
Trying to catch them in action without a helper isn't easy - half of the pictures had my fingers in it...

I'm always amazed at the creativity of the designers and builders of these soap box Derby race cars.
Of all the unique designs that were entered this year I think this Lego race car #17 was my favorite. This was designed and built by "Outside Inn" people in Nevada city, California.
This was taken at the "5th Annual Nevada City Adult Soapbox Derby". Located in Nevada city, California.
