| This was one of three pics of the car in Car and Driver mag's online blog today |
Yes, that was us. Robert put his coppersmithing skills to good use making a "still" to sit on the trunk of the car, while hooking up a keg filled with homemade lemon hooch, courtesy of Joe at The Gin Joint in downtown Charleston, inside the trunk. A working tap fit just right on the outside of the trunk, and our lemon moonshine was a big hit. That and the cut out of an outhouse on the top were all we needed to make a truly memorable hillbilly-mobile.
A good time was had by all, especially Zion, who was very excited to meet a real live Lego man! He was equally rooting for his Daddy's car and the Legos car to win. He also loved being a part of the team in his "hillbilly crunch-ry hat." Yes, he says "cruch-ry". Oh, yeah - and the race went great too. The team finished 27th out of 100 or so clunkers. Way to go, High-Dollar Hillbillies!

| I think they were both thrilled. |
 |
| It was a dream come true. |
 |
| The Legos car was really cool, AND won in its class! |
 |
| Campin' out, cookin' up our grub hillbilly style on our homemade wok - built from a tractor disc and horseshoes! |
 |
| Yee haw! |
