Real Rube Goldberg

July 14th, 2008

I'm always fascinated by real life rube goldberg machines. If you don't know what these are, it's basically trying to make the most complex thing as possible in order to do a simple task. There are even large college competitions for this.

Here is one for a commercial:

And one of my all time favorites, using only parts for a european spec honda accord (and this is real, and like the one above took insane amount of hours to make, including many many takes).

On a side note, I really wish we would get a TSX (which is basically the European Honda Accord) in station wagon form, or really any cars in decent looking wagon form.

    The problem is that, well, no wagon looks good.

    That would be a cool wagon, however cool wagon is an oxymoron, even though I’ve owned a few Subie wagon’s, I will confess they are not cool. Roomy they are. Just get the RS6 Avant, win win.
