Crazy Car

10/03/2012 8:04 AM

I have got this crazy car. It runs almost on water but sometimes I don't know how to make it back up the hill. It is fun to reverse park it when 3 guys pushing it since I can see their faces.

The professor says it has unique abilites to dilate the time continuum and cut the space at an angle that noone ever has described. It is possible people will disregard my invention as overunity-nonsense but I can assure you it is not a fake.

Here is my question. I found this Koken Barber chair in an internet auction and I want to integrate it into my Crazy Car. Can you guide me how I best go about the roof problem. The lever is stuck and I am sitting to high ...

The chair isn't too high, you're just too tall. Try removing several sections of your spine and you should be able to fit in like a hand in a sock.

It's not a roof problem, it's a floor problem - the floor is not low enough. Cut a hole in the floor, may have to dig a hole. Shouldn't be a problem, you're not moving anyhow.

"It runs almost on water ..." Really?

Pray tell us all, how can you construct a wind turbine from a ceiling fan and run it on water?

I just found out that that cart runs even without water - going downhill. So yes Really!

I also remembered a question from my drivers License school.

Question: What do you do if you drove 10 km to the next village and then find out that you forgot the car key?

Answer: you get out from the car, go around the car, optional have a look around and then .

.

.

.

.

.

.

You kick the guy that pushed you all the way very hard in the .... because now you have to walk back to get the key!

Coffee does not help, which other med is useful?

Dont know about windmills. Maybe put one behind the drivers seat? Has to be higher because I just cut out a sun roof means my head will be in the way. How high can I get with a car?

You can't get this high with a car.

M,T,,,,,WTF. Yep, as near as matters.

Going in reverse might have been the problem, though it's hard to tell if the vehicle reached the bottom of a hill and was going up another. Regenerative braking has it's drawbacks.

Clearly, this whole accident could've been prevented if you were wearing your seatbelt. Clearly.

What's the compound in your obviously spiked Kool-Aid?
