I used this trick decades ago to avoid parking tickets.

Everytime I see something along the lines of "coffefe" I think about this briliant movie (we don't talk about the 2004 USA version here in Europe, not ever).

Isn't the Lexus' plate the hex code for its colour? 370H55V is as*hole mirrored/flipped. Other two are just perfect.

That’s why there will always be an England.

Went to start the V70R today and it ran like it was only running on two cylinders and at 300 RPM. ETM wasn't responding at all to throttle input. Smoke from excess fuel and all... wonderful! No lights or codes either, weird.
Unplugged the MAF sensor, started it again, and now it idled and revved. Fortunately I have a huge collection of parts, so that was an easy fix! Popped in a spare MAF sensor and it's running great again!
I was pretty certain it would have had to do with me cleaning the main transmission/engine ground the other day, since I haven't driven it since I did that. Not the first time I've had a coincidental unrelated failure!

It was probably jealous that I've been driving the E39 and 940 the past few days.

I got my s70 inspected and was shocked to find out my car was exempted from inspection because I drove less than 5K miles since last inspection.

That shows how little driving I did because I was traveling for work so much (by plane). (and the driving I did locally was spread over 3 cars).
