2. A ditch-witch
I had to dig a 3 foot deep trench to run about 150 feet of electrical service wirinn one time. I started digging and realized real quickly that this was not the way to do it. For $100, I rented a power trencher, and got the job done in 30 minutes, with an 8-inch wide, 3 foot deep, perfectly cut trench.

I bow to this piece of wonder machine.

4. A 1965 Lincoln Continental.
With the suicide doors. A gargantuan piece of machinery, but a smoother ride I've never experienced.

7. A Gundam!


I'd be a giant dealer of sweet robot death, and as a special bonus, I'd have a guy that looked like this inside me:

8. I'd Be a Steamroller, Baby
I would roll right over you...

I'd be a cement mixer,
A churning urn of burning funk.
I'd be a demolition derby,
A hefty hunk of steaming junk.
