Don't let this slow-speaking man confuse you. He did the impossible and turned a Honda Goldwing, which was previously only a good towing machine, into a freaking fighter jet. The video may be a little long and drawn out, but near the end the inventor lets us into a little secret: he thinks it can fly. He says if you take it up to 80 or 85 on the highway and get in a sticky situation steering, it can get airborne.

The purpose of the patriotic Honda Goldwing jet fighter is to supposedly inspire community service. Sorry, but after seeing this I want to go buy a Goldwing, not volunteer at the animal shelter. [GeekAlerts]

When we were just a wee lad starting out in business, Grandpa used to say, "Kid, find a need and fill it." At the time, we were loathe to listen, mainly because he was referring to his highball glass. Nowadays, we revere inventors, like these Swedish guys who solved a vexing problem: How do you get a tow truck through traffic caused by the car that needs towing? (Also known as Cooter's Paradox). They built a Honda Goldwing that carries all the kit needed to tow a car. Yep, we're serious.
