It’s really more Q&A: “Do you have an partially-filled, unrestrained speaker box sitting in your back seat?”

Sherman knows all about karma screwing up a season:

My understanding is this law was created to stop unscrupulous mail order companies from shipping things to people and then later sending invoices and threatening them with collection efforts if they don’t pay. (Or asking the recipient to pay to return it through a special service that charges “handling fees” which the

Like the guy who was told that metalwork was a good career choice only to have his manufacturing job got moved overseas because of tightening environmental standards far beyond his control. Except he can’t go back to school because he’s needs to work two jobs to keep the lights on.  What a shortsighted jerk he must

Roughly 24% of hourly workers at (or below) the Federal min wage are teenagers. That means the majority (about 76%) are not teenagers.

Happy to help.

I like this idea. My favorite thing is to buy people Christmas-themed gifts. It lets them know that I hate them because they have to store what I just gave them almost a full year before it is useful.

So much room... Almost looks like the inside car was looking at passing and missed that the short track cones were coming up, so when the outside car turned in at the “cone wall” he clipped the inside car.

What do you mean nothing was accomplished? The wrenching guy now has a court order saying there is no per se nuisance claim. That’s matter is now decided and he can use that order in case they try and come at him again. It may not be completely resolved, but it is a hell of a lot better than before.

“You may be comfortable playing in the sandbox, but this is the desert and it can kill you.”

Printing this out, framing it, and putting it on the wall behind my desk to point at when people start bitching at me for saying “No.” I presume credit to you Kinja name is acceptable? 

Engine has been mostly OK. (<knocks on wood>) I replaced the cam-follower early, and it was already showing signs of pre-failure, and the engine developed several rather-odd ticking sounds both pre-and-post timing belt replacement. Stuff I can live with. The biggest problem financially has been the DGS, which

I purchased an A3 2.0 that was 5 years old because it was the right-size hatch and the price was right. I congratulate you that you’ve gotten 4 years out of your Tiguan, and my friendly advice for the day it starts giving you problems:

Not terrible looking, but I’ll wait for the crash test videos and results before I make any decisions.

So...I love this. Budget racer with a stock stereo in it? Perfect. But is there a rule that you can’t run the stereo while racing? I feel like some banjo-heavy chase music would make me about 5% faster.

As the driver of an older Audi, it is less likely that the driver thinks the world revolves around them, and more likely that their engine doesn’t want to make the wheels revolve in a circle.

*Citation: my mechanic saw me so much over a 4-month period that he sold his personal same-model-year Audi.

Does that consider the overhead of getting the plate of spaghetti in front of me? I only eat fresh pasta air-lifted from Italy.

My “Derp” moment for the day: I watched that on my phone and missed that it skipped as it started replaying, and just thought everyone was just driving slow for the wreck, and that a second guy went off at 5 mph in the exact same spot.

Eh, stupid mistakes are part of the garage mechanic experience. Don’t let it get you down too much. I read that the bolts in my valve cover would be held in place when removed from the engine. Last weekend I went to change the gasket, flipped the valve cover over so it wouldn’t drop oil on the driveway, and 6 of the
