I was at a friends house and he showed me his new "lift chair" that got me thinking how about a "lift creeper". I have noticed lately they seem to be making them closer to the ground and therefore harder to rise from. While were at it why not a screwdriver with a big soft handle?

"lift creepers" are already a "thing". All you have to do is whip out the credit card!

One invention I would like to see is a time machine so we could go back in time to buy NOS parts for our T's.

A low creeper helps you go under the T without jacking up the T. To get up from the creeper, use the running board or fender to pull up. I am not sure that one in the video is low enough to go under without jacking. Of course, the size of the person going under makes a difference too.

I can think of a lot of good applications for that time machine. Imagine
a hiring pool of people who actually want to work, nevermind the ten-year-
-old Packards I would like to buy in 1930-35 ...

Burger; wait until 1946 and invest $10.00 in the IPO for the 3M Company.

The biggest problem with the time machine is that we could all go back to see what Mr. Ford actually put on his cars. A whole lot of "experts" might be sadly embarrassed!

Exactly !! Wouldn't all them "purists" have egg on their faces when they found out that from 1909 to 1927 they were ALL painted fire engine red ??
They just look black in old photos because of orthographic film !!
