It was difficult to tell, with some items, how poor of condition they were in, without testing them or, worse, taking them apart. In general, though, most of them look like they're being held together with little more than duct tape and prayers, especially the more work he's done on them. Anything he created from scratch looks to be in bad shape, but modified items look to be better.<br/><br/>That said, it almost seems like his power is working<em>actively</em>against him, as the car starts making a funny noise, only a few minutes into their trip.

It's hard to place his finger on it, but she's both hard to focus on, and seems to look more like a natural human.
