Anyone have extremely stupid neighbors?

Had a buddy in HS that I thought he was a moron when he told me he was going to build a hood scoop for his 82 Capri out of a snowmobile cowling. Turns out he had the vision and the skills to pull it off and make it look really good. Little did I know I was seeing the first glimmer of his future. He has been an accomplished autobody guy for years now.
