I got this idea from Monster House. They have this countdown clock that they hang on the wall to motivate the contestants. I decided I needed motivation for myself to get my 914 done. Turns out the one they use on Monster House is $200 and up.. way too much for a clock (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) So I bought this one on ebay for $2. It's actually a "how long to your baby" clock (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I made a new face for it, and now it's ready for the garage.

Good idea and clever graphics!
Does this mean it'll take nine months to get the car done? C |

You only need to know the last few days before the event so you can scramble to get the car running (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Nice job, you watch too much monster house! Felix |

Thanks guys! The ironic part is that I could have spent the time and the $2 on the 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It would be cool to put a countdown on the top of the web page...
I know there is a java routine somewhere that I've seen that does that... Regards, Karl I mean... Qarl |

I think you could definitely make and sell those on the club site. I'd pay more than $2 for one...

I think you need to put it up in your garage and put a 24/7 web cam on it so the rest of us can be motivated! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
