Glove Box Fun

Well I guess there a little Homer Simpson in all of us. I must say though, those Toyotas have cool pockets

No Glass?

Well, I mean….It does fit. So that icon on the cup holder is wrong. Though we didn’t bomb around town with the wine glass in the holder. I imagine that the glass would stay there. The wine might splash around but beverage without a lid wouldn’t?

You have to think when you see these silly signs and icons that warn you that someone out there did said stupid action. This cup holder is from on of them fancy BMWs. It’s a fairly newer model. I have seen BMWs that may be a year or two older than this one and there was no icon like this on the cup holder.

What does that mean? I think that somewhere some person probably placed their glass of red wine in the cup holder then went for a spin around the mountains. More than likely some BMW dealer got an angry visit from a customer with a red stain on their seat demanding that the want it cleaned up for free and claim that the cup holder is defective. This may have happened a number of times. Perhaps so often that BMW decided to “fix” the problem.

What have we learned today?

If you disregard the sign and do as you please it’s your problem.

Drinking & Driving

This post is about drinking and driving so I decided to call it drinking and driving. I believe the quote from the driver was “I was blacked out wasted”. First off, he’s ok. As far as his Volkswagen…meh it’s seen better days. Word on the street is that the car clearly needs a new wheel and perhaps a transmission. He drove over 25 miles on this “wheel” before pulling over and replacing it with the spare. Keep in mind he was still drunk while changing the tire then hopped back in to drive further.

I wish I could have seen the facing of the people he pasted on the road. On second though I don’t think I would want to be anywhere near a car  leaning on one side with sparks shooting out of the wheel well. There’s a lot of wheel missing here. I got a flat once, as soon as it happened the car kinda jumped and was pulling to on side. So that happened here and he kept going and going. I can just imagine the noises that this car was making.

Let break down the noises he didn’t hear:

• The tire popping
• Riding on the flat
• The tire flapping and ripping off
• The rim grinding away
• The transmission trying to spin a flatted wheel and failing
• People yelling at him as they passed by

Random Question!

Dedicated Biker

Bikers. They can always tell you the weather. They tell you if the roads are wet or dry. Some bikers only drive a motorcycle.

My Uncle Jack volunteered to pick up dinner, he told us he was going to pick up ribs. Yum! I love ribs. While we waited for him to arrive we prepared side dishes and fixed up the table. It was a nice summer day so we waited for him out side on the patio. It was getting a bit late and we wondered where he could be.

If you know someone with a motorcycle that drives it often to see  you, you start to know the sound of their bike. As I took a swig of my beer I could slightly hear the rumbles of a Harley-Davidson: Police Special Road King. I look at my brother confused. “Wait…who was getting the food?” I asked. Surely Uncle Jack didn’t pick up ribs for 7 people with the bike…Yeah I was incorrect about that one.

I took him a little long to get to the house because he was driving extra careful…that’s understood. Between the careful driving, the secured lid and the bungee cords, the food made it to us very safely. I’m don’t ride a motorcycle(well not yet) but if I did I’m not sure if I would have attempted this one.

An Easy Fix

Over here in New Hampshire having rust on your car will not pass inspection. This can be a problem for some people. We use a lot of salt for the roads in the winter time. Salt is not your friend if you are a big hunk of metal. Especially if you are a 20 year old Oldsmoblie. I must say though, this came out pretty good.

Yelling at yellow

Man that must just suck. You go out and buy a new yellow VW. A convertible too, those are not cheap. So then whats up with  the color? I bet this person was all “hey check out my yellow VW! It’s mad yellow!” then they go to the mall, What all this then? A brighter nicer yellow on that cheap chevy? LAME.

Sorry sunbugy, but that chevy is far more yellow than you

google street view

when I’m board I like to whip out the iPhone, open the maps app and pick a country then drop a pin. On this day I think I was somewhere in Tokyo. i was looking for the Honda building when I can upon this.

That must be one narrow street, either that or some had to much sake. What I’m wondering is how is this person going to get this van off the curb. Hmm wel it looks more like a wall to me.

So go searching around the Google Street View. Have a good time.
