As a kid I loved to make things out of wood. My wife had just went to the Philippines for a month and I was pretty bored. I decided to take the old 2×4’s I had laying in the garage and make a car simulator out of them. I already had a Logitech steering wheel and I decided to grab one of the rear seats out of my Rav4. They are made to come out so it just fit in perfect. As you can see this little project provided hours of fun!
