and all the passengers managed to escape alive with only minor injuries? Well one of those passengers now won an actual lottery. He won a $1 million Dubai lottery this week. This guy has a mad lucky streak going on.
I have a handful of automotive wiring jobs I need to take care of and figured I should probably solder some of the connections. I’ve used them a few times over the years but I don’t own one and don’t really know much about them. I did a quick Google to check prices and am finding a pretty big range. I see a $5 one at…
Which one would you choose? (manual transmissions of course).
I came across this video of an adorable little antique tractor. They use a shotgun shell to start the diesel engine. I hadn’t seen that before. They also lit a wick of some sort. Anybody know what the fire is all about?

With a factory Peugeot effort.
So yesterday Gawker had a story about a U.S. flagged cargo plane that had to make an unscheduled fuel stop in Zimbabwe on a route from Munich to South Africa.
Hi all. My mother-in-law asked me to see if I could find her a cable modem she could buy so she does not have to keep renting the one from Time Warner. They raised her rate by $1.50/month and which is straw that broke the camel’s back for her.
I have a crazy, overly excitable Belgian Malinois that needs a lot of exercise. Walking isn’t enough. I have resorted to having him chase my car. There is a dead end road I take him to that he can stretch his legs. Here is the in-car footage (taken via I Phone by teenage daughter that doesn’t understand anything other…
They are expecting bad things due to the monster El Nino. They want to prepare for the worst.
Apparently it hit some debris in the water.
The great American Off Road Race.
