Ban this sick filth

Why, for giving my car the papering and attention she deserves? It was a stressful week, she needs a glass of wine and a good soak. Or maybe I mean me.

I can bring it down to 50% if you think that's more appropriate, but that was the last of that clay. I'd have to use another one.

How can you tell from the photo that the balloon is filled with helium?

Given how easy it is to crack water at home I expect the winner to cheat and use a hydrogen balloon.

Yes. I just want to see a happy balloon that is floating in the air, not a sad balloon that droops in despair.

This is quite easy. One explodes, the other makes you talk like Donald Duck. Just dont do either as they arent exactly safe.

Can we stipulate that the person taking the photo can only be associated with one of the vehicles? You shouldn't be able to hard park on your own hard-parked vehicle. I think that's a rule in the bible.

Yes, while I took advantage of owning multiple cars earlier in the thread, I think this is a sensible rule. Only one vehicle in such multi-vehicle challenges can be yours, unless specifically part of the challenge.

Choice beverage, looks like a Number 9 on the left (hard to tell on my phone), one of my top 5 beers for sure. Cheers!

Indeed. #9, the other is Feast of Fools, a raspberry stout. Haven't tried it yet.

Semi-related, I've worked and now lived near there for over a decade. First time walking in was today specifically for this challenge. Lol

Time to bust out some minivan burnouts in the morning.....

Have a rental Mustang right now but no clue how to burn out, or even if you can in an automatic, and also been drinking since vacation started so it's probably not a good idea anyway....

In a rental Mustang, it'll be a little anaemic, but it'll do it with a certain amount of brusqueness in how you treat it.

Rental mustang, you can do it! (ATF, wd-40, any lubricant will do the trick, even water might be sufficient to make it easy to do a burnout.)

Time for someone to get inventive and take the piss out of the challenge.

Fuckit, you beat me to my plan. That, and all the freezing rain last night means its hard to prove I'm doing a burnout. If I get some dry pavement I'll smoke a brushless motor trying to get a good show going for you all.
