”partial” fire damage is technically correct

Yeah how much of the running gear in a bmw is plastic? (Probably a large large amount)

Five degrees to starboard!

The guy who runs the Alcan 5000 is selling the Toyota Sequoia he drove up to Anchorage, and this is the engine bay photo he put on Craigslist.



Taken on the side of the road near Snag Junction, Yukon Territory. It looks clean because everything is soaked in coolant. If you look closely, you can see my screwdriver handle plugging a heater hose where a fitting cracked after hitting a frost heave in the road too hard.

It's still broken, but yes it sits proudly in my toolbox. One of the Alcan organizers was able to source a Dorman hose tee in Tok, Alaska and he swapped it out in the hotel parking lot in Fairbanks. As a prank, he didn't tell the owner, so everyone in that car showed up all bundled up and ready for a -17 F day only to be surprised by a working heater.

Yeah it's a good-natured old man kind of prank where the joke is that you're surprised things are better than you thought they'd be.
