CSB3: Desperate Need For A Smoke Machine In The East Coast, Canada Wildfires Don't Suffice Anymore

yeah also an unsung hero of the garage are those cheap flexible plastic cutting mats, I got two at Ikea for a buck and use them to sorta-guide fluids so that I can minimize spills

You know they make this called a funnel? It's great for getting guiding fluids into places without making a mess.

I thought that's what turkey basters were for

There are places where a funnel won't fit, like between the subframe and the VAQ housing. A flexible cutting board helps with stuff like that.

Those are for getting the lesbian's wife pregnant. True story.

Bonus point for making your own with extra cut-off pieces of hose laying around.

Yeah that's a cool funnel and all but it won't fit everywhere.

This is very nice for the thinner liquids in hard to reach areas.

 

[Nineeightyone]

yeah but these are all about getting liquids IN, not getting the old stuff OUT

cutting board for directing fluids into a pan when draining the old stuff makes things ezpz and moderately clean

also $1 and swedish meatballs? fuck yeah

Just found this which looks really cool. I could use it for the Pilot.

I bought one of these, and it's worth it's weight in gold when I don't want to change out of my work clothes to change the oil in the car after work. I learned after ruining several decent shirts and pants with oil stains because I was in a hurry.

Inexpensive, has a magnet to stick to the oil filter, designed smart, and made in the USA. What's not to love? Only reason I don't use it on the VW is because we have upside down oil filters.

You clearly don't have the correct garage to be working on a VW.

I don’t care about oil on me plus I wear gloves. It’s not getting oil all over the car and driveway/garage floor.
