I Just Had An Awesome Idea!
All this talk about the Twin Tornado and stuff got me thinking. (I hate it when that happens.)
I'm going to get a "Turbo Tiger" vacuum cleaner ("Retails everywhere for $49.95 - but YOU can have it now for one easy payment of only $29.95. Call NOW!), modify it to 12 volts, mount it in the trunk, reverse it so it blows instead of sucks, plumb it to the intake, and put a foot switch (Yeah, that's it, a FOOT SWITCH!) on the floor. Yeah! Watch me now! Bye bye, Suckah!

Lie down in a quiet, dimly-lit room, place a cool wet cloth on your forehead, and this should pass.
This could be an idea that both blows AND sucks.

No fair I had the same Idea only I was thinking more along the lines of a leaf blower. I came up with my idea when I was behind the garage. earlier this fall. I guess we'll just have to see who gets it on Ebay faster

Now if I can find one of those cool, tiny little filters . . . Then I could make several more . . . undercut their price by, say, $200 . . . You may just be on to something!

If you're going to mount it/them in the trunk why plumb them all the way to the front? Just drape the suction hose(s) out the back and have them scavenge the exhaust from the muffler tips!

This thread proves there's entirely too much "thinking" going on in this membership. I like the leaf blower idea, but would you mount that giant reel for the extension cord on the roof, or the trunk? Would the spoiler (if any) interfere with proper operation?
