We decided we’re going to do the Carbage run next year. For those who don’t know: The Carbage run is a 5-day road trip in a car that’s at least 20 years old and is worth € 500 or less.

What does that have to do with making stuff, the topic of this blog?

Probably more than you might think. Apart from the fact that a 20-year-old might need some TLC before I trust it to bring us to Ukraine and back or even pass the yearly inspection, there is the tradition of pimping it up. Most (if not all) contestants will pimp their car with lots of lights, horns and a lot of useless crazy stuff too. There is € 500 to be won in the originality contest. But I’m quite sure most people just pimp their ride because it’s fun. It will definitely lead to some maker projects. Stay tuned!
