Red Green's Kind of Power Windows |
On hot days this summer, your vehicle needs ventilation. And of course, so do you. Well, try winding down the windows of an old truck — by hand! Red Green has been there, done that, and he would say that the ordeal is enough to make you ... cranky. (We think that's why almost all new vehicles have power windows — as a hedge against road rage.)
To spare you such hardship, Red offers an ingenious and inexpensive way (hint: it involves a hand mixer) to have a poor person's version of power windows. Now, if that don't beat all! We don't necessarily recommend you try this, but you should watch it.
