Never worked on one, just a car nut that knows a few things

 

Driven one?

 

I picked up some string cheese at the grocery store today...

One thing my boss always gets pissed off at me for is keeping my bi-weekly haul of string cheese in the beer cooler and forgetting to take it home at the end of my shift...

When it's this cold out, I'm able to keep my string cheese in the bed of my truck without worrying about it getting too warm and thus going bad!

 

I got to drive a Phatom around a dealership parking lot at an “unnamed” dealer one day. I was on shift and we stopped by in the ambulance, and the sales guy was real cool and asked if we wanted to drive one around the Lot.

 

So it was BMW-era Phantom? What did you think?

 

Yea it was 2006 and it was super nice but fuck that thing is a land yacht

 

Is that a pack of Little Hotties handwarmers? The bouncers at work use those when they're working outside in the fall, or on St. Patrick's Day!

 

Nah lower back warmer for my wife’s back. She is a Critical Care Nurse, so after a long shift her back will hurt and these help a little.

 

And I'm guessing it DID NOT have a backup camera?

In the United States, backup cameras are required in all vehicles under 10,000 pounds GVW as per federal law beginning for the 2017 model year. Apparently, backup cameras are no a federal requirement in the European market, because on the Rolls-Royce online configurator, the rear-view camera is part of an extra-cost option package.

 

Eh not that I can recall

 

Ideally she should be using a cold pack to prevent/reduce inflammation.

Edit: seems I’m wrong

 

it’s all good dude

 

Aside from fuel related issues, more like ethanol related nowadays. Everything else is just a crap shoot. It's either gonna be fine or not. No use tearing in unless you have a problem, then you're tearing in anyway.

Going to depend a lot on the condition of fluids when parked as to damage incurred at start up.

If i see filthy oil on dipstick, I'd change it before starting.

This is why a vehicle sitting parked is worth nearly zilch to me unless it's a classic. Never know how bad EVERYTHING is.

There was a story when I was a kid that lasted it seemed forever about a Cobra being found with a dead body in it that bloated and burst. Most people prob. heard it about various makes. That the smell could never be gotten rid of. That part is prob. true.

 

Sometimes my GPS struggles to find a signal, and I have no idea why. It always gets "stuck" in Doylestown...

 

@Iamraiderpower

I get off of work at 6. What other trucks would you like to see?

 

Why is it that the men's restroom at my bar is relatively clean on the weekends, but the futhermucking women's restroom is always trashed?!?!

@Plain Jane Taco

My boss has started sending me to the 7-Eleven instead of the Wawa. I think she's probably gotten carded one too many times herself and thus has gotten a taste of what I've been complaining about.

Guess what?!?!

I don't get carded at 7-Eleven and they don't ask any questions! My money is green, the credit card I use doesn't get declined, and that's all the guy at 7-Eleven cares about!

Fuck Wawa!

 

@Iamraiderpower

Saw this in town today!

'65 Chevy C10 stepside with a 350 small block!

 

Went to the Wawa (just to get Monster for my boss; no smokes this time), and pulled in next to this '97 C1500 Silverado!

Owner came out, and he told me the truck has 279K on the clock! Not a thing wrong with it!



Note that we both have Eagles flags!

 

Yessssssss I love it!
