I was gonna drive the Cub Cadet out to our chicken coop but I came to the same conclusion you did. I really wanted a photo of this errant horse that lives in our neighborhood because the owner just lets him walk where he pleases so sometimes he ends up just standing in the middle of the street like a dumbass and it would've been a great photo. Alas, he was off in the woods, doing horse things. Hope he wasn't thinking of ants :ohdear:

Our pontiac's idle speed is absurdly high, the Aveo is a manual, and the Ranger doesn't have any brake lines, so the ghost ride would start but it would never stop. Our Cub Cadet lawn tractor has one of those sensors in the seat that kills the engine if the rider isn't on it, but a sandbag and a brick on the accelerator would get the job done but we just bought the thing. Like, so new that we just a week ago gave it its 5-hour oil change. The thought of the poor thing taking off and ending up out on the highway next to a jackknifed semi that almost hit it makes me too nervous.

Plus, how the hell would I explain to the sheriff that my tractor was in the middle of a highway because of the Internet?

edit: Oh, and the smart car is (apparently) Mrs. Fai's car, and she just stared at me blankly when I suggested using it

So, I'll be sitting this one out.

I'm pretty sure the definitions are flexible, he told me in the PM apologizing for missing that I called dibs that it's "deliberately easy". Personally, I'd go with final assembly, because that's when a car is made, until then it's just parts, innit?

Edit: Dammit, I can't find my plush moose from Canada and it's raining out, otherwise I'd have this one in the bag (assuming Japan counts as far enough away, I have several Nikon cameras/lenses). OFC the moose souvenir was probably made in China.

Edit again for rules-lawyering even though I said I don't think it matters: Does another car from the same plant count as the "close" item, or does it have to be smaller than a breadbox? :v:
