DO IT YOURSELF

A car as loud, cool and unique as Brian!

Time: 20 min. Apr 12, 2008

My co-hosts and crew have sometimes compared me to a human cartoon... so what better way to customize my car than with an old-timey "ooga horn"? These horns are way louder and cooler than the puny little factory horns in most cars, and are not that expensive -- you can pick one up online for under 40 bucks...

Great for Emergencies!

Time: 1 Hour. Mar 22, 2008

A little soldering is all it takes to make this cool little emergency cell phone charger. Keep it in the glove box of your car, in case you ever get stranded in the woods and start to hear banjo music!

Hot Rod-Inspired Furniture

Time: 2 days. Mar 21, 2008
