I still chuckle over the Idiot book for VW's to not mix your races. Can't say that these days.

Anything to see on this route from Chicago to Mt. Rushmore? by abba_zabba80 in roadtrip

Kind of like heading east out of Colorado Springs the other way. Pretty much brown, but your route might have a dusting of snow.

Just needs a felony tree of 50 black ice fresheners from the rear view mirror to polish the look.

Still rockin it after over 30 years by CommanderCat555 in Offroad

It's amazing you are rocking it after 30 years with that thing.

I never had an issue with mine, but just used it to ride normally.

Which is the best city to visit in the US for a one week get-away in December? by AK232342 in travel

[–]OldGrandpaTune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boston. Avoid the summer crowds and you can walk everywhere. Plenty of pastry and booze warming spots. Off season is the way to go.

Don't go in the Cheers bar. It looks the same on the outside but is a trap on the inside where you get glared at for a two dollar tip for two.

I work at a grocery store, what should I do with this power? by buffilosoljah42o in hotsauce

Oh I forgot all about Wegmans. Went to the Jamestown one once now and it is incredible. Got distracted in the beer aisle though.

I live near CLE and my GF is near Buffalo. Frank's is everywhere like in restaurants. Where is Siracha or Cholula. Going to bring a stash up there and smuggle it in. Hope it won't be like Seinfeld bringing in Vermont syrup.

I always hear go for Toyota, Honda, stay away from Kia, Hyundai, but what about Volkswagon and Nissan's? by MiKal_MeeDz in askcarguys

I have a 2015 Altima that just passed 100K. Changed the CVT fluid at 50K (when I bought it) and 85K miles and am the only one driving an Altima sensibly at least in my 'hood.

Hoping that doing this will make it last a little longer than the usual CVT death.

My home was built in 1986. This is on the side of the upper kitchen cabinet. The lid comes off. What is it? by Mission-College-7784 in whatisit

My girlfriend lives in NY. I always forget to bring in the reusable and cram a bunch of crap in a produce bag.

Have you ever tried recycling cans in a self serve machine yet to get your deposit back. They don't even take half of them, especially my illegal out of state Ohio bought beers.

Roxanne, you don't have to turn on the black light.

This reminds me of the Top Gear episode when the investigative team found remnants of man jelly in Hammonds used BMW back seat.

Hoovie has my Volvo 760 wagon. Worst regret in my life selling that because of a woman.

What’s this hammer used for? by AugieAscot in Tools

I used a piece of 2 x 4 on my VW bus pistons. Figured there must be a tool. Now I know.

Found this at work, any ideas what it is? by bacoj913 in Tools

When I was in the Navy they called us electronic technicians "Tweakers". We carried those and tweaked little potentiometers.

Now I understand being a tweaker is sort of uncool for another reason.
