    When I went to go visit my dad's plant, there was the die for a Tacoma fender sitting on the warehouse floor. He and his coworkers grabbed each end of it and said "Come here and help us move it!"

    And then I realized it weighed about 12 tons. They were laughing like maniacs.

    I remember we used to buy oil straight from the Mercedes dealership.

    I kept a can for reference, and when I put it next to a Mobil-1 bottle I noticed it's exactly the same thing. Physically, AND it came from the same distributor. It just had the Merc label, and cost twice as much.

    I'm guessing they're hollow, haha.

    If you have the strength to hurl a car battery at someone, I'd jump too.

    Maybe. Big reason I chose the Tacoma over the Merc is because I'd hit my head on the ceiling of the Merc all the time.
