How about, "Thou shalt never start turning BEFORE clearing the bay." The engine gets a boo-boo and so does the building
, but I won't mention any names...just a unit number...11-30!!
And NO, that is not my unit number...

I think number 2 should read: Wind the heck out of the Q, lay on the Grovers, and shine thy light with great vigor enroute.

4. Be certain all those in attendance are affixed prior to venturing forth.
You did not quite specify what they should be affixed to. If you don't follow #8, they may be affixed to said door.

Now where is the fun in that?Originally posted by SPIPER
13. Thou shalt not use armor all on the seats. My Dad had a g/f (long time ago) who had 2 daughters. This was a time when I had a '70 Buick Wildcat, with vinyl seats. I used to armour all the rear seat and then watch the girls in the mirror as I turned corners.

13 edit again to include the floor mats. Had a 70 model
cab over ford/Bean that I jumped into the drivers seat
at 2 am and if the passegers door had been open I would
have wound up on the bay floor instead of under the passengers
seat.
