Watch out for gingerbread cars.

One of the oddest things that a man will see in his life is a pinewood derby car shaped like a gingerbread house. Though it's ability to run the track was non existent, its practicality was unwavering. As the rest of us display our cars on the mantles of our fireplaces (whether wood, gas, or . . . electric), or "accidentally" run them into the wall until they are nothing more than a block of wood, the gingerbread car gives the builders sustenance after their Sunday dinner. So when you choose to mock those creations that may not have the ability to "run the track," remember, you may be hungry after the race, but they won't be.
