Sometimes, Doing Something The Hard Way Is Still Deeply Gratifying: COTD

One of my favorite sayings is “time is money, and money is time.” It can be applied to so many parts of life. I can spend a bunch of money on a mechanic and have more time to spend with my wife, or I can spend tons of time fixing something myself to save money. David recently experienced this as he decided to save money by moving by himself with a U-Haul trailer rather than hiring movers. Yet, was it all bad?

In some ways, yes. David got to learn that furniture seemingly weighs a million pounds, mattresses don’t like being moved, and that a kid complicates everything. Our poor hero probably sliced a year off of his life with all of the stress. But you know what? It was still gratifying because David got to put his K1500 to work. Musicman27 understands:

Sometimes doing crap the long, hard, or roundabout way, just to see something do what its supposed to do, is awesome.

I also hate moving by myself, but you bet I have the biggest smile on my face when I pull away in a Smart carrying an apartment on its back.

We also wrote about how the Wienermobile is going racing at Indy. Amazingly, that wasn’t something that Jason wrote about, but Matt. TheDrunkenWrench:

Post-race interview:
“How much did you win by?”
“Not much, just the tip.”

Zeppelopod:

I saw it, he won by a country mohel!

TheDrunkenWrench gets a second nomination for this one:

Every national Pizza joint has to field their best delivery driver. In whatever vehicle they normally perform said deliveries in.

I can’t wait to see Kia Rondos with exhaust leaks racing against Civics with fart cans and Walmart wheels.

DriveSheSaid:

Despite their various placements, there will be only wieners and no losers here!

KITT222 aka The Vibe Guy aka Nick remembered that we said there would be big news today:

All the speculation of Singer, Keonigsegg, etc and it ends up being Wienermobiles is the payoff I needed.

Jason wrote about how his hometown had a single VW Rabbit as a police car. Comme çi, come alt:

I don’t see the point in having one Rabbit in the fleet. Two, however, will multiply to hundreds in no time.

Sadly, the joke falls apart because of Oldcurmodgeon’s hilarious comment:

Jason, Watauga Dr. here, GPD had 2 VW Rabbits. One silver and one brown. The brown one nailed me on Pisgah Church and Battleground. It took him to Martinsville Rd. before he got me. Of course, I was sitting in the bank parking lot (probably wasn’t there when you lived in Gboro!) waiting on him. He got out laughing because I was waiting for him in my 530i.

Slow police cars are hilarious. Have a great evening, everyone!
