I just invented a steering wheel cover for the flying space car. Hopefully someone will build one of those someday so I can use it.
Wow, youtube on only 14.4, I wish. Very excellent find. I almost forgot how bad the Internet was back then compared to today. I shudder thinking of using AOL’s dialup again.
