6. I drove home from Dad’s in my 1973 Super Beetle and found oil on my breastplate. Ug. I cleaned off the oil and went to Ava the next day. When I turned on the heater (y’all know how Beetle heaters work?) there was the stank of burning oil and I was fogging the highway like a bad Herbie movie. FUDGE. Now I have to pull the crank pulley. This kinda smells and looks like a bad rear (rear means rear) crank seal. I pulled the pulley and the seal is dry. YAY!

   I removed the breastplate and put the pulley back on. Started the engine and saw the oil line to the filter was weeping. YAY! Now I have to pull the pulley back off. I made the repairs and put the breastplate and pulley back on. Then I ordered teflon 8AN (stainless steel, inside and out) hoses, and will have to pull the pulley and breastplate off again. And then put them back on.

   I’m just bitching. But I don’t need a faggot chair.

   You’re cracking me up tonight. VW still produced the “Thing”. Time for you to discover old MOPARS. I can help. And no, it doesn’t stand for My Old Pig Ain’t Running.

9. yeah, but does it hook up to a septic line so you can poop in it?

   … like the Homer Simpson Easy Chair?

10. Brad, I have a 20 year old Ram, not MOPAR, but a solid truck. I have had some IAC problems from shitty petrol, and fucking transmission problems that cost me 80 dollars for pressure transducers and simple shit like that. At the end of the day I’d rather drive my Beetle.

11. Those tiny wheels would hang up if you as much as tried to roll that thing into an elevator.

    My brother bought a 74 super beetle from a farmer that was parked in his field back in 84. The engine was blown and it had dents all over. He pieced an engine together from parts his friends gave him, including three 1600 pistons and cylinders and one 1500. The block had a chunk missing from one of the lifter bosses from a thrown rod and we weren’t sure if the lifter would stay put, but that’s all he had. We put it in the car in the field and then he drove it home. It made it! We spent that summer fixing it up and painting it. It turned out really nice. He put a new set of cylinders and rebuilt heads on that lower end and drove it 50k miles.
    When he first got it on the road it would die suddenly at random times and it seemed like fuel starvation. He ran a wire up through the fuel line and didn’t find any obstructions. Replaced the pump and carb with no results. Finally we pulled the tank and drained it. There was a full sheet of notebook paper floating around inside the tank. We suspect it would occasionally settle down at the bottom and seal off the outlet.

24. Interesting statement; “…assuming you have nothing better or more useful to do…” Sitting at a desk, “working” doesn’t seem to be a priority function of these office chairs.
    Good thing Musk got rid of Twitter’s lazy, shiftless idiot twit staff because they would probably have ordered these souped-up office chairs in mass.
