Sorry, I'm gonna have to be the guy that says NOT FUNNY!
I can see the humor but my dogs are like my kids. I do whatever it takes.
Yeah, that went a little far... The average dog is a better person than most people.
If it was a cat I would have said plastic bags are free at the grocery store and there are rivers everywhere...
Check my build thread... I installed the CREE XML L2 LED and they are plug-N-play!
in preparation for the weekend i paid a small shop 58$ to just get rid of the rusted-on 20 y.o. rear diff fill-plug;
at least the dealer only charged $3 for a crush washer and $9 for a new diff plug...
-
, can now really see how paying 1,300$ after a trade-in was a steal!
ok. and they charged me $5 just for the nut they welded on.. then tossed the lot...
and in the end: diff fluid, they said, looked perfectly fine.
- i wanted to ask, if the diff oil is bright amber, a solid knuckle down from the fill hole, and full of bubbles is that 'perfectly fine'?
- i'm thinking 80w whatever looks purple and has no bubbles

I don't buy new cars. I call it, "Not being a complete f*cking idiot". As evidenced by every E4 and above having a $40k car they really cannot afford.
I do like restoring old performance machines though. And Euro sports cars speak to me. And since I am beyond the "protection" of our gestapo-like EPA and DOT, I can find something ridiculous that needs work and nurse it back to health. As time and money provides, that is.
Speaking of antique European machines, I saw some teenager last night at the Edeka parking lot who almost ditched a pristine 1950 NSU 250. I imagine his daddy let him ride it, or he was joyriding. I cringed watching that fine machine being abused by that idiot.
You know, a cat can swim.... in a live trap for about a minute.

Understood...I share the safe affinity for not buying new cars and watching them immediately depreciate...I however, do still greatly regret not taking full advantage of the autobahn while there with something insanely fast...As an American, it's a very unique position to be in- to be able to:
1. Buy an American Sports car (tax free as well I believe while still living in Germany) that's relatively still cheap compared to what Germans would pay for a 2.0L econobox
2. Afford gas while in Europe to power something that isn't diesel and gets comparatively lousy mileage
3. Unless they've relaxed things, you're also going to have to pass very strict (California-like) emission testing there with any classic car as well to get your tag and deka sticker (yes, even Americans-they don't play with environmental regulation over there (I think that's why you really don't see many classic cars in Germany)...and this time it really is the gestapo performing the tests...I had to replace my windshield (even after it was repaired in the states) to pass inspection.
4. It's also semi-against many of their laws to perform vehicle maintenance at your home...no oil changing for sure).
5. I cannot imagine trying to source parts and the cost...

Sorry man, 99% of cats just aren't that cool...
Yeah, but if you only knew how hard it REALLY is to hold that cat in the bag for that long....... They kind of twist in their skin and can turn around and bite you......
Usually, after that, I spend the $0.06 to solve the issue. It may be $0.60 if it was a difficult issue......
I used to juke around like that. Seen a lot of tears . . . .
Sounds like a gay strip club. Just sayin.

Haha...I was going to say the same thing. There is actually a strip club in vegas called the spearmint rhino. Do not google image search that at work.
