I work at a tree farm, and the other day I put 5, 7 foot Christmas trees into a Toyota Carolla. I didn't think we could do it, but the lady was determined, she wouldn't even put them on the roof... They were in the car.

I once was in a group of people who were collectively a jack of all trades. Together we could accomplish some things people thought weren't possible.

We built a lot of street race cars and seldomly raced them on the track but did on occation to check the ET after a big change in something so we would know how close certain street races would be....

Anyway i said all that to say the last car I helped them build I wired it from front to back, no factory wiring at all in it, it was a full custom job. The problem was we had gotten a hold of a HUGE spool of red wire. SO, the entire harness was red wire. Grounds, activation wires, hot wires, lighting, nitrous, ignition, fuel pumps.... so now whenever i do some wiring on my own stuff, anyone who knew that car asks me if the wiring i am doing is all red...... the car went 6.40's on an iron headed stock bottom end 302 in a Fairmont...... so i guess the wiring worked ok.....

Wouldn't call it rigged, but using what is available to get the job done.....

I'd hate to have to chase down a wiring issue if all the wires were red

Someone seriously needs to show that lady the little pine trees that hang from your mirror for that fresh pine scent
