Apparently that was at the CKA show in Canada this weekend and it is in fact an R. Interior is Nordkap.

Also, I went to Chuck's bar this weekend on Put In Bay, OH :D

Edit: Just noticed the V.Doller above it. Would be a freaky coincidence if it was V.Zoller above Mossback's

I didnt think you could get away with that to many times before that would happen.

I still screw with telemarketers that way. If you whisper and ask them to describe what they're wearing, they usually stop calling very quickly.

Got home from town and drove the car under the bridge to put some supplies away in the shop when I heard a loud crash and skidding noise right above me. Freaked me out, I was waiting to see a car come flying over the bridge smashing my car and the XC.

I ran up to the highway with my radio and found a polish family getting out of the car. The whole right front wheel had sheared off. Control arm broken in half. CV broken on the inner joint, flopping around. Tierod dangling. The wheel assembly was being held on by the strut.

Luckily the car was still up right after skidding about 150ft, coming to rest on the shoulder against the hillside.

I called dispatch and told them what happen. Then went and got my fire engine and spent the next 2.5 hours doing traffic control while I waited for the tow-truck. I told dispatch there were 5 people but for some reason a tow truck with only one extra seat showed up. I ended up driving the rest of the family to the little resort my fiance works at so they could have some food and relax while they waited for the other guy to get a ride into town and get another rental.

So what you're saying is that you're an awesome person? I mean... you could have at least run down to the auto parts store, bought all new parts, lifted the car up with one arm and installed them with the other in under 30 minutes.

2.5hrs for a truck? Ever thought about buying one to take occasional calls?
