Sometimes there are these handy templates for open cars at the loading station. But they only work the other way round (Not “Is the route fitting for the train” but “Is the train fitting for the route”)

Even the 1999-2007 ones have these (or at least after the mid-cycle refresh)...

Bixomets (Catalan): Shame on behalf of others

That reminds me of the middle duct in my venerable old VW Passat 32B (I think that’s Quantum for you colonists). Without any cabin air filter and the duct closed, it accumulated lots of dust, leaves and general debris. So, before you gave the car to your younger brother or a friend, you opened the duct, pointed it at…

That reminds me of one of my life’s greatest disappointments (no, not you, son!):

For example, if you ask a colleague two different questions in an email, and, in a rush, they respond with a simple “yes” or “no,” you may not be sure which question they were answering.

Back in the middle is an orange Ford Granada Mk1 and the red car with the shaker hood is obviously supposed to be a ‘72-’74 Dodge Challenger.

Hm, you’re right, the written form doesn’t quite catch the spirit. It was more of a “They’re already here for a quarter of an hour and haven’t shown any signs of progress”

expand, buckle and split

I once went into a gas station to pay for the humble amount of diesel my 525d sipped. On the next pump stood a truck with a cigarette boat on the flatbed and two guys were filling the tanks. I asked the cashier “That’s gonna be a small-volume mortgage over there?” “Not far off. They’re here for at least a quarter of…

But seriously: Does anyone here really think Trump is washing himself?

“Schnepfe” (shh-NAP-feh), f., pl: “Schnepfen”, also used derogatorily for Karen-like women

But ask around careful, as “Schlumpf” is also the german word for “smurf”.

So “Ukeireru” is basically the strange rattle your car makes, that first drove you crazy and then doesn’t bother you anymore because you now know where the sound comes from?

Perhaps he meant the Norisring, which is/was a pop-up racing course on otherwise public roads in Nuremberg...

If you are browsing at home, I suggest setting up a Pi-hole DNS blocker. It blocks ads and other crap right from the beginning (they are not just blocked from showing up but they are not even loaded in the first place). At the moment the would-be-crap covers 40 percent of all DNS queries, so I save up a huge amount of…

“Largest sea plane since the Spruce Goose” is not correct. It may be the largest amphibious aircraft (because it can operate from sea or land), but considering flying boats it’s dwarfed by several other designs. There would be the Martin JRM Mars (MTOW 75t), the Beriev A-40 (MTOW 86t) or the tragic Saunders-Roe…

That reminds me of a conversation I had in class with my humorless German teacher (what a surprise!).

If you’re handy with a table and/or miter saw (or your neighbor is) I’d recommend a french cleat tool wall. Flexible, adaptable and quite cheap (if you’re into woodworking)
