One sentence game

[LennyB]

Ground issues can play havoc with an automobile, one loose or missing ground can throw a whole system off line and communications break down will trigger everyone’s friends the little yellow CEL.  

[Ace-Garageguy]

"CEL", or "check engine light" means you need to open the hood and check that the engine is still there.

NOTE: Googli's AI says: "To check if your engine is still in place, locate the hood release lever inside your car (usually under the dashboard on the driver's side), pull it to release the hood, then carefully lift the hood and visually inspect the engine bay to ensure the engine is present and positioned correctly."

There is no place like home

[Ace-Garageguy]

Home is anywhere I hang my britches for the night.

[Tom Geiger]

Night can be very dark in my neighborhood since we have no street lights

[Ace-Garageguy]

Lights from the street used to cast shadows of monsters and demons on my bedroom walls when I was little.

Little cold weather is headed for the Deep South!

South town is where Santa had to go to find Jingle, Jangle, and Vixen who were trying to find the Christmas spirit. 

[LennyB]

Spirit is a midsize automobile marketed by Dodge from the 1989 to the 1995 model years.

Years ago I purchased a 1980 AMC spirit from the AMC dealership, which was a sporty looking car but had little power so I slapped on a pair of L 50's mounted on 15" cragar rims and added hi-jacker air shocks making it look more race worthy but still it moved like a slug.

[LennyB]

Slug was the AMC wagon I drove in the 80’s, smoked like a chimney as the valve cover leaked like crazy which eventually let to the car going up in flames. 
(Someone else was using it  at that point)

Flames on a hot rod are as at home as scallops on a custom.......

[thatz4u]

Custom cars have been around since the 1940's

[LennyB]

1940's music is rather enjoyable as long as I'm "In the Mood"

[Ace-Garageguy]

Mood of the 1940s saw the popularization of custom cars, but custom coachbuilders doing specials for the wealthy had been around as long as there had been cars to build bodies for.

For want of a nail, a shoe was lost; for want of the horse, the rider was lost; for want of the rider, the battle was lost; for want of the battle, the kingdom was lost... and all from the want of a horseshoe nail.

Nail polish can enhance a woman's beauty.

[mk11]

Beauty is in the eye of the be(er)holder

Holder horses thar partner, yaint goin' anwhere with out horse shoes

[Ace-Garageguy]

Shoes and never-worn clothes in some women's closets can number in the hundreds (and they're not cheap), but the same women have a problem with a guy's large model (or real) car stash?

Edited January 18 by Ace-Garageguy

[LennyB]

Stash of mine gets put up in the attic, wife's stash takes up the spare bedroom.

[A modeler named mike]

Bedroom is an okay place to store a styrene collection, but I'd be weary of the attic unless it's climate controlled and has been cleared of any goblins, spooks and evil spirits that may be lingering.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Lingering rodents are also a potential problem with attic model storage, as they'll test-chew just about anything (leaving cute little knawing tooth-marks on edges of plastic parts), they're not too particular about where they leave their solid and liquid waste products...and model boxes make nice warm nests to raise hundreds of littluns.

[A modeler named mike]

Littluns wearing loaded diapers can be a handful to change and yes you can quickly become a poo fighter wearing splattered residue and be quite stinky.

[LennyB]

Stinky, it's stinky a fun and wonderful toy, it's stinky....mmmm, maybe that's slinky.🙄
