The mechanic raised an eyebrow as he unwrapped it—a tiny, perfectly formed steering wheel, no bigger than a doll's toy. The mechanic took one look and burst out laughing. ‘That’s not even close to real!’ he said. But the old man just smiled and said, 'Works every time.' Turned out he was selling miniature steering wheels for frustrated drivers who wanted to practice without leaving home—quite a hit among newbies and neighbors alike.
