This weekend I'm planning to flush the brake fluid on the Missus' chariot. Acura insists you have to use their brake fluid. Made with unicorn spit, apparently. I don't even want to talk about the ATF used in the rear diff.
On the upside, the Missus will get to learn about brake systems, since she'll be pumping the brake pedal and topping off the reservoir. Oddly, the factory procedure starts at the left front caliper (?) and goes clockwise. At least it's not an Audi: somewhere in Germany there's an engineer who needs a punch in the face.
Happy Motoring! C.
I love the myriad euphemisms people come up with for having sex

Pretty much any of those or tray-back vehicles. Now that Holden (GM) and Ford are shutting down production in Oz, it is getting expanded to include American-style pickups.
Preferably with a massive bull-bar on front, huge spot lights on the roof, lots of bogan bumper-stickers, and a snorkel on the air intake for crossing streams.

She's got some grit. A top 10 is good anytime. She's got a car finally, needs to learn a few more things and then watch out as her confidence builds. So many times in the past running in the back she got taken out as collateral damage in wrecks. Running up front helped her avoid a lot of stuff today.
Jr's getting better, too. Edwards is my main man. Not so good a day week for him.
Carl should just skip Daytona next year. He seems to always have a bad time of it there.
Should be an interesting season for all those Jimmie haters.
Yup Hendricks is my team. Danica was 3rd with 1/2 lap to go and got freight trained.

Right, well I don't hit the brakes on long downhills, I steer the thing into the guardrail and let the passenger side take the heat.
I had a boss who liked to do that. He'd buy a beater and see if he could get the guardrail to compress enough that a rivet would stick up and catch an edge in the car's sheet metal. Open it up like a zipper, the whole length of the panel.
puts a little too much faith in the guy running the post-hole digger that day.
