Today I found out the previous owner had a 20 year old water drip on the passenger side.
Two days ago, but took my daughter to a snow covered parking lot and taught her how to spin cookies. 
Today, I took off the old crappy wallyworld steering wheel cover and put on a new crappy wallyworld steering wheel cover.
Winter in '89 after buying my first '69 Charger, I was in a very large church parking lot with a decent slope to it and a fresh 4-6 inches of snow on the ground. I was driving in a large circle around 4 light poles, when my rather slow momentum carried me down to the bottom of the parking lot.....sideways.....into the curb. Aluminum slotted mags, 14x6 on the front and 14x8 on the back, snapped the rim/bead on the passenger side wheels. One was flat before I got out of the car, The other allowed me to get it home before it was fully kaput. It happened so....slowly. Like a scene out of a movie. Can't believe it's happening, but powerless to stop it.

Nothing but I did order my "TACO RATED 4x4" badges
When she gets better at it, you can upgrade her to doing donuts.Two days ago, but took my daughter to a snow covered parking lot and taught her how to spin cookies.

The doe may have a different opinion on the damage done.
I have always used a small dab of silicone sealant on the end of the wheel spacer threads. That way, they CAN'T loosen up until you need them to. It pulls right off too with no mess. I have never had them loosen up.
My Jeep is overheating just looking at that pic and the airflow restriction.

My wife is from Oregon, and she.calls them cookies too. I have to correct here every time..When she gets better at it, you can upgrade her to doing donuts.
It's certainly not an issue this time of year. And once the weather turns and there's no more salt, there's no reason to run it... It's a strictly winter thing.
Recently decided to troubleshoot why the transmission shifter arm was so loose while shifting. I found the transmission shifter bolts where very loose which also allowed the shifter seal to ooze gear lube down the side of the transmission onto the skid plate. I wiped up all the gear lube from the side and bottom of the transmission and both sides of the skid plate.
Today I checked the gear lube level in the transmission; needed to add several ounces until the level was 1/8" below the fill hole.

NC native, and I've lived in Oregon for about a dozen years. Oregonians say pitch instead of sap and bark instead of mulch. Bark was self explanatory, but the first time I heard someone complaining about getting pitch on their hood I was confused.
several parts of the country have different sayings and words. Our kids who were raised in Arizona (me in the Midwest) give me crap because I say 'worsh' instead of wash, 'crick' instead of creek, an 'root' instead of route. Coke, pop, and soda are the same thing depending on where you live. I once dated a very Southern girl and she would say 'cut off the light'.

Not a Southern Girl, but as a Texas boy I can confirm, we also say Ya'll with doesn't trip many people up, but for some reason "all Ya'll" really confuses ya'll. oh and Howdy is actually used... if you get "un-sweet tea" you are a creature from hell, and If you ask for tea, you better be expecting iced tea that is so sweet you can feel the sugar grit between your teeth. yes, there is about a 1:1 ratio for pickups to any other vehicle on the road.. I'm sure I'm forgetting something, oh, and yes if you piss someone off enough they will shoot you, and we won't see anything.I once dated a very Southern girl and she would say 'cut off the light'.
Questions?
Just wanted to change the front brake hoses, now i need a new brake line
With a brake line of that length you might be able to go into the local auto parts store (not sure what you have available in Bavaria) and get a length of brake line with the proper sized threaded ends and take your time to bend up a replacement brake line.
