On the subject. The piping contractor I worked for expanded their company to take on a sheet metal/hvac division. The new tin knockers needed trucks they were given unused ones from the existent fleet. One of the muckety mucks bitched so much about the hand crank windows that the mechanics pulled the doors apart and replaced them with power windows. Word got out. Hilarity and derision ensued. For years.

I would think leaving them with your mom, given that she was retired from education (or any other professional career for that matter), with (I assume) no known issues, would be a good safe choice. But after she let one kid drown while she napped, I would never leave another kid with her. This entire thing seems pretty unbelievable.

You might be asking yourself why this exists. You might also recognize that no one with any sense of decency would want it. And you would be right, absolutely right on both points.

But, what if being right or decent or classy is actually the wrong play?

I know StyFo only approves of bubble gum blue Porsches and peak Volvos, but some of us like something a bit more personalized...

Who hasn't dreamed if building a giant Lowes shopping cart with an engine? Besides literally everybody.
