Where's the fluffy-valve?

Is that a Yugo?

If my memory doesn't fail me, it's an old ad for the VolksWagen Golf

classicman · 11-06-2011, 06:34 PM

Yup - VW Golf. I almost bought one. I owned a VW Rabbit at the time.
Damn I loved that car.

There are all the VW plastic panels held on with three plastic bolts. The CV joint boots that would crack and kill your suspension. To the left is the heater core that would fail and dump coolant into the passenger area. Lacking on this low-end version were the "upgrade" alloy wheels that would dent after you hit a 2" pothole.

I loved that car but I'm glad I moved on!

My Jetta had that option!

The engineers at Buick must have reverse-engineered that feature so they could include it on Mr. Clod's old Century too. And it was always me with my feet in the passenger floor area...

BigV · 11-06-2011, 11:49 PM

that is my car now, but black, not red. I love that car. I've had my hands on a lot of those parts, but not the fucking heater core. Seriously, tha's just like three mounting bolts and two hose clamps... AFTER YOU TAKE OUT THE FREAKING DASHBOARD. No. Thanks.

$650 later, this summer, the car was delivered to me with a new heater core. Yay.

One lightbulb to light up the speedo.

Lightbulb = $2.
Labour = $65.

Our old Buick Century had the option that the passenger could stretch their feet out and cause the car to die. Something in the fuse panel at the passenger's feet. Never figured it out. Just jiggled the mass of wires and the car would start again. It made things interesting once or twice.

I opened my freezer only to find a WTF? icecube. No disturbance during freezing, regular tap water.

Go figure.

limey · 11-08-2011, 02:12 PM

Grav is so coooool, even his icecubes have a hard-on!

HungLikeJesus · 11-08-2011, 02:27 PM

Stalagmites!

Well, they might.

Undertoad · 11-08-2011, 06:26 PM

...or are you just happy to see me?

ZenGum · 11-09-2011, 07:20 PM

If condition persists for more than four hours...
