Wow, check out the shift knob coat hanger! (I wonder if you can still hang stuff when you put it in 2nd gear…)
The greatest inventions also have a way of being beyond language — you can understand them in Uruguay or Urdu. It might not be the greatest invention ever, but the shift knob hanger rack is terribly simple and anyone who’s seen the inside of a
