I look at that circuit board like a chimpanzee trying to read sheet music. Kudos to the electrical wizards.

That's going to be expensive! Before you say it that is Not going to buff out.
Apparently, someone thinks it’s the Nurburgring…
The Tail of the Dragon is a famous stretch of road people flock from all over to drive. With plenty of twists, turns, and elevation changes, it can provide a bit of a thrilling challenge. However, some people get a little overly excited and start thinking they’re driving on a race track, not a public road, then they end up like the driver of this Ferrari (we believe it’s a 488 Pista, but it’s a wee bit smashed up and upside down). This incident went down on October 20.

Just chop the top off and turn it into a cabriolet. That's how one turns that "problem" into an opportunity...

Back when I was a troubled youf in the early 90's, I used to pirate DIP RAM off of random motherboards to populate my (at-the-time cutting-edge) video card.

Mrs. S's Grand Cherokee is back at the dealership getting the oil filter housing replaced (surprise!).

The loaner they gave us is...embarrassing. Who wants to drive around sporting the "Warlock Package" RAM pickup*?

I always thought the term was "Dipshit Ram". I could be wrong and you should be ashamed of talking bad about mothers.

What be wrong with the filter housing? What you don't want to be identified as a male witch?

You should see all the "Texas Edition" pickups here. Its f'in stupid.
What is worse is the ones that flip out their mirrors to towing position and aren't towing anything so they are really wide and look like steer horns. I guess they impress easy
