I can't do shit to cars nowadays. When I had a vw 72 super beetle I was in there like Mcgiver.

my first car was a 71 beetle. And yes, DPAW, it did feel good to undo that thing, that funny looking bolt thing. I am very proud, the next thing you know, i'll be checking the oil!

that's how i feel about my '89 ford ranger. if i were to ever sell it i would have to train them for weeks before anyone else could actuallt drive it. now god forbid my v-rod breaks, i couldn't even find the horn when the wire came loose. that thing is a technological masterpiece and i don't think i'm anywhere near smart enough to learn it.

Ford. Back in the seventies they use to say ford; fix or repair daily. You got a pretty good one. 89, they got scared of the Jjapanese competition and tightened up a bit. My father designed cars for GM and Chrysler. He told me to always check what day a car was assembled. Mondays, don't buy. Everybody on the line is hung over.
My favorite car i have efver owned was my 85 Volkswagen GTI 5speed. When it wasn't in the shop, boy could that baby run. I have a jeep now. it's ok. the airconditioning sucks. iknow nobody cares less, but what the hell i am drunk. and i worked on my car tonight!!

Don't worry I'm a mechanical idiot at times. My Daddy was a gearhead, why, oh why for the love of Bacchus did I not pay more attention to his man-hobby? Boysdiggit. :lol:

mine must've been built the day after saint patties day. hungover? shit, they were still drunk when they built that piece of shit. the fact that it runs down the road on its own power is a testament to my mechanical and electrical abilities.

Now that you are so good with cars, why don't you come over and check my dipstick.

I can open a beer bottle with a car. Of course, some of the plastic stuff came off the door... and there was some blood involved

There are many places in and on a car that work for opening beer bottles. I've, unfortunately, had similar problems with pieces of plastic coming off, paint chipping, etc. I now keep multiple corkscrews and bottle openers in the car - under both seats, in the glove compartment, in both door pockets, in the center console, in the trunk and on all keychains. My wife carried them around in the diaper bags and a friend gave me one with a magnet on it that I stuck up under the bumper. That way when I lock myself out of the car and lose my keys I can at least go to the Kwicky Mart and get some beers for while I wait for AAA, again. But come to think of it, most beer I drink comes in cans...but best to be prepared.
