Counterpoint: At $1,200, 30 years old, and already having a hodgepodge of American parts in my German wagon, I don’t think I’m paying a shop to repair much of anything on this that can’t be fixed with the strength of duct tape, the whimsy of WD-40, the ingenuity of the internet, and the determination of beer.

Obviously that’s his tool bag, and he’s doing some work on the engine...

With that profile pic, you’d think you’d be an editor over at Jezebel.

It will be interesting to see how far this thing goes. I’d probably slap in that spare oil pump and see what it does. How trustworthy is the gauge itself?

Yo, you need a 4x100 to 1x0 adaptor.

Perhaps it’s satire? Sometimes, I’m being sarcastic, and I’m so good at it, people take me seriously. Other times, I’m serious, and people think I’m being sarcastic or making a joke. My wife, knowing me to be that way, actually said “No” the first time I asked her to marry me. I had to keep her awake for two nights…

It’s an important distinction. If the Borg had swarmed around the Galaxy shouting “REGULATION IS FUTILE”, the only people they’d have terrified would be the Planet Of Left-Wing Economics Lecturers!

I’m a bit more partial to this angle myself.

That is priceless!
