Two words - two wheels.

Mk4 VW Jetta with lit buttons on the steering wheel. There's a tiny unmarked button on the backside of the steering wheel that turns off the lights in the buttons. If memory serves, it's not even referenced in the owner's manual. Why are you there, little button?

The grill emblem reminds me of when my dog farts and frightens himself.

Pretty sure that an Oil Galley is in an engine, an Oil Gallery is where they keep paintings.

Back in the olden days we would open our window if we wanted the engine noises to be louder.

I guess he...

You're gonna stand there, ownin' a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistlin' bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistlin' kitty chaser?

During rush hour, I freaking HATE IT when people get off the freeway on an off-ramp, but instead of actually taking the exit they go straight on the frontage road/offramp lane and merge right back on to the freeway. It fucks up traffic even worse than it was. After 10 years of a 200 mile per day commute, this is…

Driving from San Jose CA to Estes Park CO, driving my spankin' new 2005 F350 dually towing my brother's 38' fifth wheel. Travelling with wife, 2 year old, 4 month old and my father in law. Just past Ely Nevada we have a blowout on the trailer. No big deal, we get out and change that bad boy in 103 degree heat. …

Water wasn't that deep, my guess is he broke something on the landing or the bottom was much softer than he expected.

Touche!

Today I learned that we should elect people with wide faces.

I looked into converting my Suburban to natural gas, but to get any kind of range out of it would require an enormous storage tank. I have a large vehicle because I need the capacity, not because I want to haul around a giant fuel tank.

The kid who crashed his Dad's mustang has to be up there.

Self-recovery gear. A winch or at least a good come-along, tree straps and snatch blocks, a good shovel, hi-lift jack, and tow straps. If you're in the desert where there's nothing to attache a winch cable to, a soft-ground anchor is handy. In a pinch you can use the shovel to bury your spare tire and use that as a…

Dibs on the drivetrain!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say "a small one." A small car is definitely the worst for big people.

The repeated t-shirt is awesome, easy to see that it was probably his favorite. In the 10th grade pic it's all faded and he's obviously grown out of it a bit. Mom was probably not thrilled that he was wearing a worn out shirt on the first day of school. :)

Nitpicking here, but that's not a firing pin, it's the slide stop pin - the bit that attaches the slide to the frame.

2003 Jetta TDI, bought new Dec 2003. 311,000 miles, every fill vented to the fill hole and recorded in excel. 41.4mpg average with auto trans until 250k miles, 49.4mpg average after swap to 5 speed at 250k. I generally drive 75-80 mph and don't baby it. Tires always inflated to max pressure, 90% highway, 190 mile…
