I can identify with this, but have to admit I'd probably buy a helicopter and start ecomodding it. Who grill blocks a chopper anyhow? |

Steam filled blimp encasing a hot hydrogen dirigible body. Probably outfitted like the Aeromodeler 2? "Fly around the world with a tin of biscuits and a sack of oranges." Just with batteries instead of hydrogen.

Good idea, but I don't think I'd like that for winter time: it would stiffen the ride even more than the freezing temperatures harden up the shocks/springs/tires!

YKYAEM ... when you discover a dragging brake caliper on a relative's car.
Because when you needed to move it down the driveway a bit, of course you didn't start the engine, you just put it in N and pushed.

YKYAEM when you're thinking of regrading the driveway so cars just roll out in the morning. |
