Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

I think I would make a good viking. (Not me in pic)

I wonder if the fact that I've owned many SAABs, and frequently shop at IKEA would be enough to get them to let me in?

darn it

Well, my mother's side of the family is related to Leif Erickson and my older Brother, my Uncle and Cousin all drive SAABs. Though they are also part of the Sami people who were the original settlers of the Netherlands and are closer to the inuits than the rest of the europeans.

Great Grandpa Erickson was a wood worker and deer herder from the old world and helped build many of the great Lodges in the National parks during the Depression, his wood carvings are still there.

I probably should have put that last one in the joke of the day thread...

Palate cleanser:

I see, all is clear now and I heartily agree with the sentiment. I was the last generation to get not just a free education in the UK, but as with the Scandinavian countries I got paid a living stipend by the government thus my student load debt was ZERO. I also own a Volvo and a Saab and dig Norse mythology.

P.S. Free universal health care rules too.

Start with one dirty Boxster engine

Apply lots of elbow grease

MAke new clear engine cover

I think it's cool

I did this after teaching my first Street Survival School but still do the quick shoulder check before moving lanes.

This is WAAAAY less crucial if you are situationally aware and check them constantly to keep aware of your surroundings. If you have to check your mirrors before taking evasive action, you didnt check them recently enough.

Very cool but needs more chain.
