You know that little voice in your head that tells you to do the most unreasonable things at the worst times? It’s the one that I totally shouldn’t encourage, but I’m going to anyway because it sometimes leads to the most ridiculous automotive projects I’ve ever come across while browsing Facebook Marketplace.
