That is exactly how things are in Thailand. I took many pictures of piles of parts stuffed into a hole in the wall business. Funny thing? It is also how Emory's Porsche parts were organized when I went there years back. Either way, they are gear heads. I get it and like it.

Goes to show that men doing stupid stuff is something that transcends country and culture.

Pretty wild indeed Gotta admire the DIY resourcefullness of these guys though...

Larry Chen, the filmmaker, said that riding in one of these boats was the scariest thing he's ever done.
