Escalation of Force

If it weren’t for PB Blaster, I’d have to walk to the store.

I just drove by one yesterday!

Chicken, cheese, lettuce, mayo, and their delicious honey mustard.  Oh, don’t forget that lemonade.

Yea all the ones near me closed up. Shame tough - the chicken carbonara was so damn good.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure the interior/structural sheet metal, firewall, and door/windshield frame are all still original. Basically all the places a VIN tag would be.

You can count me towards the .01% of readers that found this interesting.

Probably only available on the top model back then.

Completely disagree. The current priorities for winning Dakar is outright speed > reliability > navigation, and it misses the entire point of the rally. For years the stages have gotten faster and faster, and navigation and repairs easier and easier. It is absolutely time to return that balance to where it should be.…

That much load on a Super Beetle? Given its lack of performance empty, I’m guessing he still hasn’t reached the end of that highway ;-)

I always thought the WK generation of Jeep Grand Cherokee was a stunningly attractive SUV. We got one as a rental on a road trip in 2019 (remember those?) and it absolutely hooked us. And after putting more than 5,000 miles on it, we were quite confident that it would work for us long term.

I keep a little vial of it in my necklace.

Indeed, those look like heat shields.

Mounts are SUPER sensitive to heat, and there’s lots of that going around in any engine bay.

Lucky for this mid-engine Corvette, the “fan blast” heat that comes through the radiators isn’t filling the engine compartment as it would be on a front-engine car. But you’ve still got…

What are the mushroom-looking pieces under the trans mounts? Heat shields?

Terribly cool, dude.

I’m gonna go against all the doom and gloom I usually see around here.

Other than all those cars, how was David Tracy as a neighbor?

Driving a 2015 WK2 ecodiesel Overland. One of the better cars driven, for what we’re currently doing (tent camping in remote-ish places, long road trips, sometimes towing something). Can’t wait to try out the three-row, once this diesel hits some imaginary mileage number where we no longer want to drive it.

There must have been some magic in that old street cone they found
For when they placed it on his roof, he began to dance around.
Ohhhh, Golfie the V-Dub...
