Next comes the locust, famine, war and pestilence. Not necessarily in that order.
Dude, Schnelly is already there!

I'm not Googling "graupel" either.

In other news, I swapped the summer wheels/tires onto the Turbro on Tuesday night. I have wheel hangers on a wall, behind a 4-post lift. (see pic).

With a car on the lift in the fully raised position, it's a little awkward getting that top wheel off the hanger and lowered down to the floor.
Thankfully, when that one slipped out of my hands Tuesday night, my face was there to slow its fall. Ugh.

I can confirm that this is what Frunky looks like in RL.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

The left front wheel on the black one looks like it needs a spacer or something in that pic.
