I have had an extraordinary number of cars over the years, due to a long commute to work. I also played music and put 80,000 miles on a brand new car in 2 years. While I did have some cars that looked like they were rescues from the junkyard, I never would treat then like that. I even had cars that I would actually wash and wax. With the cost of new cars now, I plan on making my current car with 139,000 miles last at least 5 years more. Heck even used cars are overpriced.
While living just outside of "Center City" Philadelphia in the early 1990's, we had several winter rainstorms that ended up leaving our cars with a very thick coating of ice. The only way to get rid of the ice was to either wait for a day and let the sun melt it or actually striking it with a wooden broom handle to break it up. Never - ever would I use a metal shovel!!!
So many of these fail gifs involve winter, ice and snow, and poor decision making. After decades living up north I relocated as far south as I could get in these here united states, and I really don't miss any of that. ANY of that.
#2 I'm going to do something stupid right next to a concrete bollard! What could go wrong? #3 Ice under fresh snow is as slippery as oil on a polished concrete floor. Just watching made my hamstring hurt. #5 Judging by the headlight only, it's a BMW so I don't care. Al_in_Ottawa
...start the car, turn on the defroster, go inside and finish breakfast. In about 6 minutes, the windshield and hood will be warm and snow-free. Easy peasy.
#5 - Fred, I know we're in the middle of a divorce, but I need you to come over here and clean the ice off my car.

Delete#1 That fella didn't seem to be in much distress. I think he has done that many times.
ReplyDelete#8 - they eat grubs. What'd she think her toes looked like??
ReplyDeleteMiss Tigglywinkle is plain mean.

Donkey powered forklift! Amazing. Looks like it still has an engine for hydraulics.
ReplyDeleteA horse/mule powered squeeze. Now I've seen everything.
ReplyDelete#7 Now do the bath water!

#2-He took that in the lower face/jaw. Wish he didn't have a mask on so we could see how many teeth he lost
DeleteSaw the mask and smiled.
Delete#1- If the Wirecutter were a High Climber.
ReplyDeleteYEE-HAW!!!
#3 is that Joe?
ReplyDelete#5 - Was that one of those damn Russian cars? They're amazing things and run forever.
ReplyDelete#7 - Now that's a late term abortion!!!
Contrast #1 to #2. The difference is striking. The one is a man at work. The other is a faggot. Seriously, needs a warm up hop for that little jump.
ReplyDelete#5: Gotta be a southerner. That's not snow; that's barely flurries.
