How (and why) to Ramble on your goat sideways

It happens. These are old cars. Generic (straight) hose doesn't work well in terms of the tight bends, but I have found that Autozone and Kragen / O'Reilley sell inexpensive replacements that are pretty close to OEM (typically a tad over-length, some trimming required), and amazingly, they are usually in stock locally.

At Kragen / Oreilley, you just say "I have a 1990 Miata and I need the little coolant hose that goes from X to Y", and they pull up a diagram on the computer and you point and say "that one."

My son was an absolute angel on our vacation trip. So much so, that complete strangers complemented us on his behavior.
So, in the spirit of the holiday (and because I think it's way cool), I bought a large Lego Star Wars kit. Wife told me not to, but I succumbed to impulse on my lunch hour. Got the Imperial Shuttle - you know, Darth's personal ship. Cost me 2 bills, but it's going to look so neat up on his shelf. We'll have fun building it together.

apparently the M i bought was supercharged at one point in its life, and has had the engine replaced (72K on both the Odometer and autocheck). the leading theory from looking at the underside of the car is somebody had it slammed and cracked the oil pan.

Pen2_the_penguin is going to 2013's Gumball 3000 with his ridiculously rich and gay brother.
He was looking at a veyron but it might not happen, the second runner up is a Aventador.

I am just afraid to be around vash if anything car related, and his fist of raging fury.
As for Vlad, I asked him in a thread, but I think it was overshadowed by a new page.
I really should PM.
ey vlad...
