Your "suicidal animals" reminded me. Lame story time: I think I did drive through from north to south back in '15 with a co-worker and my stepdad (also co worker) on our way to Killeen, Texas for work. We could have flown but found out that the company would reimburse us for fuel so we packed up my stepdad's Chrysler town and country with everyone's guns and drove straight through driving in shifts. We stopped at some Walmart off a two lane highway somewhere in Wyoming. I remember snow blowing across the highway and antelope pretty much everywhere along the highway. I drove first rotation and went from Olympia, Washington into Wyoming, seems like it was like 12-14 hours of driving. I then had trouble sleeping in the back of the van because I was convinced that the old guys were either going crash because they don't see well at night or they were going to fall asleep and kill us all. I also soldered a wire that had broken off of the back of the cigarette lighter at a highway test area. Instead of saying "thanks", my stepdad's response was "looks like a cold joint". I flipped him off and put it back together and it worked until the van died on it's way home from Texas in the big hills in southern Colorado. |

Thank you for the clarification. When it comes to swapping body fluids ut Germanorum, those details really matter. It does. If it's already an ex and her Navy chick friend, the implication is that things went wrong in the past, but you're willing to entertain certain possibilities and overlook past transgressions. If it's a current GF and her Navy chick friend, well.....when the after math of the sliders is apparent, she will be your ex. |

Originally Posted By WIC: wait, so the van died from your cold joint? did your FIL sue you for destruction of property? is he still in need of an attorney? View Quote Could be that the engine developed a bad bottom end knock from a cold solder joint on the 12v socket after ~4 months, I'm not really an expert in early 2000's Chrysler minivans. We limped it to the next exit, which happened to have a restaurant and a hotel. It was late anyway by the time we figured out that the van wasn't driving back home. We checked into the hotel to catch some sleep and I called AAA at like 4:30 the next morning to get us a tow to the closet car rental place (90-some odd miles)where we'd rent a van and leave the broken van at a nearby wrecking yard (we actually had plans to abandon it if they weren't open. Lol). Turns out the rental place wasn't open for an hour or so after we got there and the tow truck driver offered to drive us to get breakfast without charging us (we bribed him with breakfast) and during the meal we shared our plans with the driver who told us that his boss owned a wrecking yard and would probably buy the van. A deal was made, we finished breakfast and went back and got the rental van, moved all of our crap into it and drove home from there (south of Colorado springs, iirc)only stopping for fuel and food/bathroom breaks. It's only an adventure if some things don't go as planned, otherwise it's just a trip. My stepdad sent the title to the van to the wrecking yard after we got home and they cut him a check that just about covered the cost of the rental van. |
