...GPS. Unless he's planning to take a long, long, long trip... and ford a hell of a lot of bodies of water ... I'm not sure this is going to give him the directions he really needs.;

Turn signal. Does a dog looking to the left count as a turn signal?;

I know a guy that actually wanted to do the heater/fireplace thing in an old econoline van.

Asphyxiation did not bother him, but when I pointed out that he wanted to build it over the gas tank, he finally scrapped the plan LOL

The outer door lock and the AC window unit were awesome.

You can see at least half of these in your typical Wal-Mart parking lot.

Not unique. Did this in 1966 using a tennis ball container ...
... and a couple of hose clamps.

Here's my all time favorite. It's a new vehicle produced by AfghaniMotorWerks...

As an international company, AMW is also making a mass transport/camper vehicle for Kenya ("The Obama"...very popular)...

I drove an Opel Kadet about 25 miles without a fuel pump once. Taped a 2-liter bottle of gas to the radio antenna, and ran a length of 1/4" fuel line from that to the carb.

Had to stop twice to disassemble it, use the fuel line to siphon gas out of the tank to refill the bottle, and then put it back together, but it got me home.

Don't knock the window air conditioner. Even billionaires want that.

Had a 1971 Ford F-100 with the floorboards rusted out, the fix... when you lifted up the floor mats you saw STOP.
