A young man loses an eye...
family can't afford a glass one so they get him a wooden eye...
He's real sensitive about it and is hesitant to date due to the wooden eye..
Friend convinces him to go to a dance with a number of other people with disabilities....reluctantly he goes....
he's standing with his friend and spots a girl standing in the corner alone....his friend tells him he should ask the girl to dance....reluctantly he walks over to her and says "I wonder if you'd like to dance?"....She says "WOULD I" and he says...
"Forget it BIG NOSE!!"..

I think that driveshaft spacer kinda goes along with "Here, hold my beer and watch this !"
And you just know a fence post at his house is 4 inches shorter than the rest !

On my first "hotrod" when I was 14, I tried to connect the rear end to the leaf springs with 2x4s and reddi-bolt. Fortunately I was not like Thomas Edison and didn't have to make 2700 light bulbs to get one that worked.

OK, crank the flame thrower...you guys are obviously too sensitive to safety,,,hoho! Have not heard the real story behind this effort, but "what ifs" could go a long way. So, your sitting in your shop, nearly finished hotrod and find your driveshaft needs to be lengthened. No ride, no friends around, driveline specialty shop is 5 miles down the road. What "wood" you do???
Hopefully it wasn't an idea meant to stay!

Frankly, I think your BARKING up the wrong tree....
don't think it would make any noise at all....wouldn't last long enough....cause he isn't using HARD WOOD....

Guess I won't grace ya'll with some of the events of my past then.... No kiddin guys, I know that safety is a huge concern with the traffic in most areas anymore and I'm not a wildass in a vehicle, but come hell or high water, in a jam, I've used some lame-brained stunts to get home. I can only remember 3 times in my life where I didn't get myself home with what I left with. Guess it comes from living "rural". Back to the got wood. Given a piece of wood of nearly any kind found around your place, if the guy at the shop said, "hey, if you can get your ride here in 15 minutes, I'll have your shaft done this afternoon and tomorrow you're out and about in your newly finished ride....ya'll would be looking for drill bits and saws and sweeping wood chips off the floor... 5 miles? paper mache could work for that long if you wanted to get there.

To B honest with y'all, I've been known to do about anything to make a, round the block ride happen.
I live out in the country so the block is 4 miles.
For a long time the neighbors would hurry to their front doors to see what we were driving and waive at us as. We drove some pretty weird stuff back then
Who am I kidding, we still drive some interesting stuff
