Remember when you used to think...

...those gymnasium-sized domino setup videos were awesome?

Forget all that.

You should see some of the places here in rural Prebletucky. He could build ten of those things with the junk laying around.

Props to creativity with stuff around the house but that boy has way too much time on his hands.

Bizarre random thought: For some reason I kept thinking this is how modern automobiles are designed in that they are so complex. Sorry I just got that thought. Nothing can be fixed without a computer and specialized software to search 5 ecu's. I know, way off base. I'll avoid comments on autonomous vehicles of a certain brand...

The 944 sunroof is simple. You just have to turn your head a bit.

There should be some sort of U-Tube challenge for stuff like this. Keep the kids occupied at home and get them thinking out of the box.

And the above is a piece of cake compared to installing or removing the hard top or ragtop on `85 380sl the wife used to have.
