I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while, King–the front USB loader on my computer is literally broken! Don't ask me how; even I'm not sure myself! So, I'll have to wait until I get access to my laptop, which has access to the KODAK program I use to post photos.

Aren't there any rear USB ports near where you plug in the mouse and keyboard?

Too much of a hassle! You have to drag the CPU out, fiddle with the cords, and by the time you've uploaded, you're exhausted! Besides, my computer doesn't upload pictures too well (damn 56k Modem–Micro$oft too!)

I just found the “air tank” thing that goes on the back of the car–basically, it's just a Ghostpopper “marshmallow” covered in duct tape, and with the yellow tube from the Ghost Trap running through a hole in the middle. Stick the tube under the fins and voila! The air tank has been added.

Soon as I can get the car finished up, Ecto_Plasmic. Shouldn't be very long…

A new photograph, this time with the “marshmallow” attached.

I apologize for the low picture quality–I'm still learning about how to use the digital camera!

Just imagine, however, what it looks like in the dark with all the lights running–it's great! Too bad I can't post pictures of that yet; I still have to build the lighting rigs (essentially popsicle sticks to support the magnetic LED pins–I tried using cardboard but this failed on me, so now I'm going to try basswood.)
