Guess who put the front end back together only to find every single thing on the radiator was identical except the lower hose pipe was on the wrong side.

You put the front end back on before connecting the hoses and filling it with coolant? For shame.

Last week a young woman managed to launch her car off a bridge here and sink it in the frozen river. She's fine, a broken collarbone and a hell of a story - not speeding, nothing to drink, not texting or otherwise distracted. She just lost control on some ice, pinged off the left-side divider and ramped over the piled-up snow on the outside - up and over, crunch, splash & sunk.

The car is still there, under the ice. The fire department says they'll pull it out in spring.

Tow the car inland until you find a bridge over a frozen river. Push it off, make sure it sinks. Nobody will ever know.

gently caress VAG forever for this. I've dealt with one too many of these shitheaps for that same god damned problem.
MAKE A BETTER THERMOSTAT OR PUT IT SOMEWHERE ACCESSIBLE YOU FUCKSHITS.


Disclaimer: piece of poo poo rovers might overheat regularly but atleast I can loving swap all the cooling parts around on the side of a freeway in under half an hour.

I've driven about the first half of that video the last time I was in Seattle. Recognized from when you were going down the hill towards the Needle, until when you went under the bridge (I5?).

I think that was an e-cig. Which is still not great for you, but not as bad as smoking actual paper and tobacco, because it doesn't have all the combustion byproducts.

Hah no those werent E-cigs. I chain smoke when driving and went through 4 back to back while filming that. I wheeze when I go up a flight of stairs.

E: route was Denny an Aurora hooking back through Westlake, then ot caught at the Fremont bridge so I scooted over the Ballard bridge instead where my phone died and the tape ended.

Yeah stop giving yourself cancer dude. I've known two people who died from smoking and one of them was the same age you are now. I mean he died of pneumonia but if he hadn't been a smoker he'd probably have lived. OK nag mode: off.

How are you loving the car right now? Seems like it's just running well and no problems, pretty much?

It `clunks and bumps anjd has legitimately nearly killed me 3 times not to mention being a white knuckle ride every time I hit the freeway. All the motor mounts are shot, the front control arms are gone, accelerating from a stop feels like someone shoved a dead blow hammer up my rear end, and it's always damp.

Most phones, and entirely too many digital cameras, don't have a good IR filter on the lens - you saw the infrared glow from the cherry.

Last Electric Wizard album was really disappointing to me, sounded like a rehash of Dopethrone. Funeralopolis is such a good song though. The part from about 1:30 to 3:00 would be my walk up/warm up music if I was a closer in baseball or something, just a totally intimidating song when the fuzz kicks in.

There was no Electric Wizard album after Dopethrone. :colbert:

Also 13 Inch, if you haven't already, go see Sandrider live. They're a Seattle band, they kick rear end and I think you'd like them (Helms Alee is dope, too). And then post about it here because I'll likely never see them because they don't tour Europe and that way I can live vicariously through you.

I had pictured you rolling around to Macklemore's Castle, but there you go.

I like videos like this, I find it quite fun to try and follow the route on Google Maps. Having never driven in the states, it's actually genuinely interesting to see a normal journey along somewhere, rather than just short clips of a dashcam incident or whatever.

And yeah, ditch the fags. At least switch to cigars.

I have one of those Passats (same color even), that I rebuilt from a front end wreck. It also has a bad t-stat that I haven't wanted to replace...

Did you bleed it properly? Gotta pull the hose going to the heater core to open up the bleed hole. It looks like a b5.5, which means said hose is under the cover that covers the battery.

First one is Puscifer

Second one is I think A Perfect Circle

Last one is Electric Wizard I'm guessing from the discussion, and which I'm not familiar with so someone should chime in now with what it is.
