My wife's car (2013 VW Passat) wont go through 8 inches of mud (even with studded tires).
Also learned there's no frigging place to hook a chain to it easily.

I learned that a 415 non o-ring chain needs to be replaced every 2 weekends. Otherwise, it will spit off your bike at 100mph and you're lucky you don't get killed.

I learned that a twin turbo V6 in a F150 has enough forward thrust to eject a fully loaded toolbox out of the bed of the truck into congested traffic at LAX. I also learned that people can be very polite and understanding while parked in gridlock watching an idiot cleaning up tools out of the road.

Nearly everything I learned today was simply an ongoing development of prior discoveries.

I guess now that I've clicked on the thread and feel obligated to share. TIL I liked two of the video's posted by Daniel Dudley yesterday in the music thread, #12374 and #12373.

Seat heat in an unoccupied seat keeps take-out warm and toasty.
