From the same people who invented hidden compartments in cars for running shine, we have further proof that hillbillies are ingenious. Well done, sir!

- fnordfnordfnord 13y agoTravis Goodspeed isn't your average hillbilly. You should have a look at some of the other stuff on his blog.
- VLM 13y agoExcellent project but fails the high tech redneck "hillbilly tracking" title due to lack of duct tape, no bonfire, no empty beer cans as structural material, no camo spray paint decoration, didn't see it up on concrete blocks, no stick welding with slag everywhere, and no baling wire. Still an excellent project, just not "hillbilly" as per the title; would have been done identically in downtown Manhattan or at my lab in the frozen north.
- deadfall 13y agoHillbilly is a person that lives in the mountains and not a person that jury rigs things, per se.
- VLM 13y agoI would respectfully disagree and provide the counterexamples of my rural friends and family in Wisconsin where the tallest mountain in the state is about 500 feet, and on the other side as a counterexample I present "Colorado" and "Hawaii"

- deadfall 13y agoBootleggers may have had hidden compartments but from what I learned going to school in North Carolina is that they just drove really fast to evade police (beginning of NASCAR). Being from there I am bias to hillbillies being ingenious. I have seen incredible innovation from some mountain folk.
