Did they pour oil in the coolant by accident or did somebody just take a poo poo in that guy's radiator?

Isn't that what can happen when you mix the two types of coolant.

It's a Cummins diesel, from the looks of it. They have oil coolers built into the radiator, I think, that could have failed. Or a blown headgasket.

Not that I know of. Water wetter, mocool, etc, are good and useful in some situations. And they are listed as being compatible with pretty much all coolants.

I distinctly remember driving a Power Wheels jeep into the side of my dad's silver 1987 911 Turbo... he sold it in the late 90's for somewhere in the 30's with 20 something thousand miles. Well, we all know what happened to the price of those.

Our driveway was on a slight towards the house, one day as a small boy I wanted to see what would happen if I took the handbrake off the car.

Well the end result was a car piled into the now bent garage door and a mildly annoyed father asking me why I did it.

It makes me scared to consider selling my 944 S2. The value of those have increased by at least 3 from when I bought it 4 years ago, and scarcity can only improve things there.

I've been told I managed to back my moms '64 Dodge Polara ex-cop-car down thee driveway and out into the street, though I don't remember doing it. I would have been under 5 at the time. Apparently, '64 Dodge Polaras don't have shifter interlocks, and I popped it into neutral, and off it went down the slight incline of the driveway.

The one I do remember is clambering up the hood and over the roof of my moms '70 SS 396 Chevelle, and my dad getting irate at the footprints on the windshield.

I didn't do too much mayhem to other people's cars as a kid. Dad taught me to respect other people's cars (and poo poo), and it apparently took.

Same goes for 80s Cadillacs.

You see, grandpa owned a Caddy dealer up until he died (97 or 98?), and his daughter certainly couldn't be seen driving anything but the newest Cadillacs. On a super low mileage lease that barely let her leave the driveway, of course. :v:

I made up for the lack of trampoline when I got my license, and promptly blew up a few transmissions for them (don't let a 16 year old behind the wheel of a Northstar, he might pick on a C4 Vette here and there, and may or may not take that beautiful 94 Eldorado to the drag strip...)

e: if I ever win the lotto, mom's getting a fleet of Cadillacs to make up for what I did to two of her cars...

All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world, so there was only one thing I could do:
was ding a ding dang, my dang a long racecar.

It's a love affair. Mainly jebus, and my racecar.

I ran in circles around my father's brand-new blue AMC Eagle 4x4 wagon. About 20 times. Dragging a stick against in the whole time.

My dad was pissed, naturally, and gave me a tin of ancient wax and a couple of cloths to apply / polish. I was around 5 and had no idea how to do it, and also lacked the upper-body strength to properly apply / polish hard-assed old wax. After what seemed to my five-year-old self like hours, my grandfather (who was fortuitously visiting from the other side of the country) came out to see what was going on, found me in tears with the wax and cloths, and took them away from me. He spent a bit of time showing me how to use it, but ended up doing the whole thing for me while I watched, and learned how to properly care for automotive paint, and we talked about random stuff.

Thanks, Poppy. You were a kind and wonderful person, and the world is a poorer place without you. :3:

Doesnt he own a baja bug? Those use the spare tire to spray the windshiel fluid. That one is at least a head scratcher to a new owner and a quirky feature. Like hes aware of what quirky is hes just hamming it up i guess.

I imagine you have to ham it up to find a quirk amongst the absurd of a 70s land yacht.

Am I wrong in missing the hi beam foot switch? At least in an automatic, it gave that foot purpose and you could rest your foot there when you had your high beams on at the ready to hit the switch when a car was on coming...
