Now that looks like a proper VW cluster

 

I'll have to see what the money light wants when I get home. I suspect a low voltage in the ecm.

 

Well hopefully you were able to get to that pump without waiting.

 

It blows my mind how a lot of people don't understand etiquette such as, pulling forward to the furthest stall or something to allow for others to come up from behind.

Had that the other day where I rolled down my window and asked if they were gonna get gas (there was a pump available in front of them, every other one was full) and the dude kind of gave me an attitude and said yeah and that he'll just pump where he's at.

Was a bit of a pain but I had to navigate a tight turn in a small gas station where a trailer was cocked all sideways for me to move forward in between and back up to the available pump.

 

I hate when people park at the pump and then disappear inside forever. I get it if you have to go pay with cash, but parking at the pump to let you and all your kids use the bathroom and do your road trip shopping is a douche move. Pump gas then park in one of the parking spaces

 

Anyway, checked out where this sculpture would be placed; it's right smack middle of the main road to cut through town.

Think of it as your town's 'Old Town' right in front of the post office.

Leaves plenty of room...some 10-12 feet width with about 10 behind it.

 

The Frito delivery truck was parked at it... Not pumping. Had to go in and ask them where their delivery person was since they were blocking the only pump. Delivery driver tried saying that she had no where else to park when she arrived. Since when is a pump EVER a place to park!? And this small town (pop 578) doesn't even have a traffic signal in it... On a Sunday morning... It must've been popping after church since it was a ghost town when I went thru at noon. I suspect someone was being lazy and making excuses.

 

Lol I didn't even think about that but yes wtf?

The one's I find funny are those that pull in to pump gas (mind you, I'm filling up the LC, or back then the 4R or other car) and that person leaves while you're still pumping.

Curiosity would get the best of me so I'd check to see that they literally pumped anywhere from $3 to 10 bucks sometimes.

 

If it's busy* I don't care if half the pumps or more are open.

 

I wish I could put $5 in my truck and have it get me anywhere but the next gas station lol

 

Fixing some good ol' water damage.


Thankfully the bottom plate 2x4 soaked it all up and kept whats underneath dry. Or else that couldve been a real can of worms. Now to close it all up and start making it pretty.

 

Double dog dare you to lick that wire (Jk)

 

Is that the water damage another member pointed out (due to the damaged drywall/flooring)?

Yeah good thing it's minimal!

Putting a whole new look in that place for sure.

 

Its not connected to anything.


What do I win?

 

Looks like 6 gauge; could run a welder in the kitchen

 

Yeah, @Not a golfer made me eat my words on this one. It looked fine from what I could see, until I went to mount that box in there and the screw sunk right in.

 

A drink, but since your up there and I’m down here I’ll drink it for ya.

 

Good thing you got it resolved though!

It's awesome just seeing the diversity here alone in this thread; from those experienced in anything and everything electrical, plumbing, HVAC, welding, photography, software design, and more.

Love post #3

 

So today I crackhead proofed the second gen. I modified a shield to work with my all-pro skids. Things went well till I check my CVs looks like I need to do the needle bearing swap.
