See Garage
I know what all of you are thinking...

1) Where can I buy a 120V-AC to 12V-DC voltage converter?
2) Where can I plug in the adapter?
3) In what space in the engine bay can I stuff the leaf blower, and ducting?
4) I wonder how much it will cost to Chrome-Plate my dad's leaf blower? (Red is so Fire Engine, LOL!)
