    This for CraigE-- ;)

    Filed under: Motorsports, Etc.

    We all have different ways that we spend our time and money, but probably nothing quite like how Michael Arndt spent 6000 Euros and six years. The matchstick master built a full scale Mercedes-McLaren F1 car in his kitchen using 956,000 matchsticks and 1686 tubes of glue. The car can even be taken apart for easy transportation, which is good since at some point Arndt might want to leave his parent's house. Check out the gallery below to see the incredible detail and some of the building process.

    You have way too much time on your hands finding all these stories.

    Like I said I think we need to start a Pedro The Swift section here.

    It is going to take me a while to read all your posts.
