WHAT A 1930'S DUESENBURG CAR DEALERSHIP SHOWROOM MIGHT HAVE LOOKED LIKE.
SOME PEOPLE WAIT A LIFETIME TO FIND A GREAT CAR, SOME FIND IT WHEN THEY ARE A TEEN, AND WAIT A LIFETIME TO WON IT. MARK WAS A FORTUNATE RARITY, HE GOT BOTH THE CAR HE DESIRED 30ISH YEARS AGO, AND IT'S A BARNFIND 1969 GT 500 SHELBY MUSTANG
Mark's neighbor was an attorney that owned 3 Shelby Stangs, acquiring each as payment on cases, and this was the one he drove the most and damaged in the early 80's, and then parked it in the warehouse over his office.

Rud is making a great variety of snow chains, and one very cool gizmo, the Rotogrip
I am not familiar with snow chains, I've never needed them. So pardon me if I'm wrong, but these seem to be innovative ways of making snow chains more effective and are innovative in my opinion
But the following demonstration of inventiveness really is the coolest
as your tire rolls along, you hit a switch, and that causes the contact roller to swing onto the sidewall of your tire, which then powers the roller into spinning, and since the chains are bolted to it, they swing around, and get spun out flat and onto the ground in front of the tire that need snow chains. On the move, without getting out and putting a set of chains onto your tire. It's like the effect that flipping a switch to engage 4 wheel drive had instead of the old way of stopping your truck, getting out, and trying to rotate the lever in the hub to engage 4 wheel drive. Now, you can keep moving

Innovator is going to try to revolutionize biking in poor countries, with a recycled cardboard bike
Once ready for production, the bicycle will include no metal parts, even the brake mechanism and the wheel and pedal bearings will be made of recycled substances, although Gafni said he could not yet reveal those details due to pending patent issues.
cardboard and other recycled materials could bring a major change in current production norms because grants and rebates would only be given for local production and there would be no financial benefits by making bicycles in cheap labor markets.
"This is a real game-changer. It changes ... the way products are manufactured and shipped, it causes factories to be built everywhere instead of moving production to cheaper labor markets, everything that we have known in the production world can change," he said.
Elmish said the cardboard bikes would be made on largely automated production lines and would be supplemented by a workforce comprising pensioners and the disabled.
Elmish said the business model they had created meant that rebates for using "green" materials would entirely cancel out production costs and this could allow for bicycles to be given away for free in poor countries.
Producers would reap financial rewards from advertisements such as from multinational companies who would pay for their logo to be part of the frame, he explained.
"Because you get a lot of government grants, it brings down the production costs to zero, so the bicycles can be given away for free. We are copying a business model from the high-tech world where software is distributed free because it includes embedded advertising," Elmish explained.
