Displaced Texan

Bahahahahaha!

Maybe Zeke will make Polynesian chili.....

Maybe we’ll ‘one up’ the next cookout....and do a chili cook off. I do a mean ‘bowl of red’. @Bighungry618, @Zeke, I’m calling you both out for this one!

Glad y’all liked. I look forward to doing it again.

I’ve got some of her apple cake in my refrigerator right now

Where can I buy one of those signs?

@AVB-AMG You should have had my smoked brisket........ That would have made you into a die hard constitutionalist. Ask anyone.

@Zeke, @Mrs.Zeke The meatloaf was tasty, Zeke. However, Mrs.Zeke’s apple cake was AWESOME!!! burp!

Lol. VW/Audi doesn’t make it easy to work on, I’ll grant you that. I do all my own maintenance and troubleshooting, but I’m smart enough to know when I’m above my ability or equipment. Fortunately, other than wheel bearings that were killed with my pothole incident, my VW’s have been nearly trouble free.

Mmmmmm new toys!

Lol. I’ve always had great luck with VW. I’ve had 2 Jetta’s, 2 GTI’s, and now a new Tiguan for Mrs Tex. Never had a lick of problems with any one them.

Yeah, that’s gonna be a brutal storm. Glad we got home from Savannah Monday. Hold on tight, our Florida brothers and sisters.

Actually, a very long time ago on my last boat, someone dropped a sail access plate overboard during maintenance. They were made for each submarine. We had to cover the hole with duct tape until we could have a plate made. It was approximately 12”x24”. Surprisingly, it lasted several dives before we received the new plate.

This is quite possibly the funniest thing you will see all day. Mrs Tex sent it to me.....

Too soon?

@Zeke I’ll be at TPRFM that day.

Bahahahaha!!!

Oh hell, I forgot about that stuff! It even comes in different colors!

I sometimes have this issue. My GTi has DRL’s, but without automatic lights. They are bright enough at night to fool you into thinking your headlights are on. My wife’s car has DRL’s with automatic lights...and it’s sometimes confusing when I swap between vehicles. I’ve solved this problem by getting in the habit of turning on the headlights in the GTI every time I get in it. Day or night. On another note. A feature that Audi has standard on their cars is a ‘strobing’ of the 3rd brake light under hard braking conditions. I like this feature, as it warns drivers behind you of sudden stops. Really gets your attention. I have enabled this feature in the GTI via programming software. I have to check if my wife’s Tiguan has this feature activated, and if not, I’ll enable it in the computer software.

Pop rivet a piece of sheetmetal over it and replace the door when you can.

I have GPS coordinates of the pothole

Bahahahahaha! Like that’s gonna happen. They’ll let this state crumble to the dirt before they take care of the taxpayers. I hope they do reimburse me, but I’m not too optimistic they will.

I’m going to file. Damage to my car was 2 wheel bearings, and 2 wheels. I’m going to file for the bearing repair, 2 of the 4 wheels I bought, and realignment. Here is the link I found to file a claim. https://www.state.nj.us/treasury/riskmgt/tort.shtml
