As we have already established part of this disease includes the inability to toss things that " I might find a use for " . So here we go , this is an electric rear truck window motor that is about 9 feet from end to end that can pull both ways . What can we use this for ?

Remote electric cowl vent with the motor located in the header panel above the windshield, to save under dash space.

Exhaust cut outs, light duty emergency brake, gas door opener, cowl vent top and side, inside hood latch, heater blend door control, old style water shut off valve, and a gag control for my ex.

You can rig that cable up to automatically slide an oil drip pan under the engine when the ignition is turned off, and then retract it when the ignition is on. This will save the knees and the constant motion of placing a piece of cardboard or pan under the truck to catch flathead oil drips.

If you have a bench seat hook it to a small platform on top of your seat. Then when your lady friend gets in, you can slide her over to you with the flip of a switch....Or away if she is getting on your nerves.

I bought a dog pen bottom tray. It works great for catching oil. It is half the price of the same thing being sold as an oil tray.

I'd put a 5 dollar bill on the end of that, and connect it to a motion sensor. Leave the dollar end in the middle of your driveway, mount the motor in your garage, and laugh every time somebody starts walking up your drive to take the bait!

With a wireless remote controller, you can use that to open the Havahart live-catch trap when a skunk gets inside.
