the guy hacked a wheel chair controller so his 5 year old with MD could operate it with his feet! http://www.neatorama.com/2013/08/30/Awesome-Dad-Hacks-Wheelchair-So-That-His-Son-Can-Control-It/ 

a virtuoso on a motorcycle, most amazing performance on a bike I've ever seen, Bill Dixon, 2012 XDL Long Beach



Doing a wheelie facing while riding backwards? That's intense!

the next video added his 2nd run, to the above performance, so maybe you'll want to see it instead and from a higher seat in the grandstands



thanks to Rafik for posting on Facebook! I'd have never seen this if he hadn't!

parents should get awards for making such cool things for their kids

Coolest thing I saw all day

this makes me say, for the first time on this blog, Awww!

Nascar race trim Daytona, looking totally bitchin' with the headlight buckets scooping air

the wonderful hand made car parts (and baseball gloves!) trophy variety at the Friends of Steve McQueen car show at the Chino Hills Boys Republic














as long as the engine runs, and the tires hold air, there is hope it can make it out under it's own power

wall mounted bike rack genius idea

"the old tools know what they're doing" The most remarkable car restoration story, a 1911 Argyll and the tools that first made it 102 years ago are reunited



simply put, the Argyll car company employed Alex's grandfather as a coach builder, and he had to bring his own tools to work. The car you see in the rest of this gallery is a 1911 Argyll, and that means it's being restored by the grandson of it's first coachbuilder.







from just one of drawers of tools (in the background)  that Alex's family has passed down from his grandfather, and there you have the tools and the car reunited, in the hands of the grandson. Remarkable!

When we were discussing his grandfathers tools, he talked about a conversation he'd had with someone, who asked about using the old tools versus new ones, and his reply? " The old tools know what they're doing"





















and unfortunately, the body didn't make it through the years in very much more than a pile of driftwood










This is the same Alex that needs a Frontenac SR overhead cam and a 1909 Phoenix rear axle for a 2 cylinder 8/10hp
