If you erase the chalk mark from your tire after the guy goes by you can park anywhere you want forever, for free.

If you, like me, suck at parallel parking, try to imagine the front of the car behind you as a garage door your have to back in to, and then just mind the front curb-side corner of your car while you do it. Works best in older cars with actual visibility, though.

Attach multiple license plates to the outside of your car, automated speed cameras and toll booths won't know whats up. Drive everywhere you want forever, for free.

Works best in older cars with actual visibility, though. My way is: 1. Get parallel with the car in front of the space. 2. Reverse straight back until my rear wheel is past the rear of the other car. 3. Full lock to the right until you can see both lights of the car behind you in the drivers side mirror. 4. Straight back until you can turn the wheel fully to the left. 5. Pretty much done, just line it up a little if needed.

I go gas cap instead of rear wheel (not much of a difference tbh) but pretty much the same exact thing

You don't have to fix that leaky water pump, buy distilled water in bulk and fill up the radiator as needed! Replace a CV boot because of a little hole? gently caress that! Just replace the grease you lost through the hole and patch it with RTV!

I parallel park a little differently...Cached Money posted:My way is: 2. Put car in reverse 3. Curse when some asshat nearly takes off my rear end by pulling into the spot I'm backing into.

I watched a drunk dude try to parallel park once, he used the bumper of the cop car behind him to get a feel for how far he could back up.

Fresh Valvoline 10W30 is fantastic for classic American foods such as fried chicken and french fries, but when preparing eastern cuisines, I find that the tangy bright flavor of Rotella T places the umami taste front-and-center in your stir-fried vegetable dishes. Best with Amsoil of course, but you probably wouldn't know anything about that.

You sure you can use Rotella T in a light stir fry? I hear it's really only for use in heavy duty dishes.

If you're in CA and buy a new car, don't put your plate on your car. Ever. The savings on tolls alone will outweigh the $25 fine you get every 3 or 4 years when you get pulled over.

Cached Money posted:3. Full lock to the right until you can see both lights of the car behind you in the drivers side mirror. I only go until the left (in LHD countries) side of my car is lined up exactly with the middle of the grill of the car behind me. Turning as far as both lights gives me a too steep of an angle, IMO. EDIT: Wait, are we actually giving real tips here or are we just loving around?

Remember to aggressively Honk and flash your lights when you've been passed by someone conducting a legal maneuver. This should startle the less seasoned drivers and enable you to regain your place in the race on the highway.

When you get frustrated on a project, find the largest and coarsest bolt you've removed on the project so far crank it down into your urethra. That will remind you that the project isn't so bad and give you the motivation to continue. I recommend using cylinder head bolts.

Why do through all the time and effort of buying a project car, dismantling it and stacking the parts in and around the car, to only lose motivation and have to look at the pile of semi car bock up space and gathering dust in your garage. Why not just buy someone elses dismantled project car and save yourself 6 to 8 quality months of ignoring your wife and children through sinking beer and hard cider in your garage bar. This method also allows for a higher turn over of projects and works with people who have limited tools and skills (You). Extra life hack: Ensure you lose money on each project car when your sell it, this helps to build Negative truck (car) equity which can be used at a later date to shirk fatherhood responsibilities, through forced Overtime at the Steel Mill to make ends meet.

I've got a coworker doing this by taking his father-in-law's Super Beetle project off him.

It meets all the culinary standards for light and heavy foods, it's just intended for the heavier stuff. Rotella T meets the standard for gasoline engines up to 2011 or so, so like for real it's a-ok for cars Also if you ever for real use Rotella as a cooking oil make sure you tell the story on a first date.
