            <description>If you didn't see this on the Tonight show, I hope you're sitting down     
 When you read it. This is probably the funniest date story ever, first     
 Date or not!!! We have all had bad dates but this takes the cake.          
                                                                            
 Jay Leno went into the audience to find the most embarrassing first date   
 That a woman ever had. The winner described her worst first date           
 Experience.                                                                
                                                                            
 There was absolutely no question as to why her tale took the prize!        
                                                                            
 She said it was midwinter...Snowing and quite cold... And the guy had      
 Taken her skiing in the mountains outside Salt Lake City , Utah ..  It was  
 a day trip (no overnight). They were srangers, after all, and had never    
 Met before. The outing was fun but relatively uneventful until they were   
 Headed home late that afternoon..                                          
                                                                            
 They were driving back down the mountain, when she gradually began to      
 Realize that she should not have had that extra latte. They were about an  
 Hour away from anywhere with a rest room and in the middle of nowhere! Her 
 Companion suggested she try to hold it, which she did for a while.         
 Unfortunately, because of the heavy snow and slow going, there came a      
 Point where she told him that he had better stop and let her go beside the 
 Road, or it would be the front seat of his car                             
                                                                            
 They stopped and she quickly crawled out beside the car, yanked her pants  
 Down and started. In the deep snow she didn't have good footing, so she    
 Let her butt rest against the rear fender to steady herself..              
 Her companion stood on the side of the car watching for traffic and indeed 
 Was a real gentleman and refrained from peeking.. All she could think      
 About was the relief she felt despite the rather embarrassing nature of    
 The situation.                                                             
 Upon finishing however, she soon became aware of another sensation. As she 
 Bent to pull up her pants, the young lady discovered her buttocks were     
 Firmly glued against the car's fender. Thoughts of tongues frozen to poles 
 Immediately came to mind as she attempted to disengage her flesh from the  
 Icy metal. It was quickly apparent that she had a brand new problem, due   
 To the extreme cold.                                                       
                                                                            
 Horrified by her plight and yet aware of the humor of the moment, she      
 Answered her date's concerns about' what is taking so long' with a reply   
 That indeed, she was 'freezing her butt off' and in need of some           
 Assistance!                                                                
                                                                            
 He came around the car as she tried to cover herself with her sweater and  
 Then, as she looked imploringly into his eyes, he burst out laughing. She  
 Too, got the giggles and when they finally managed to compose themselves,  
 They assessed her dilemma. Obviously, as hysterical as the situation was,  
 They also were faced with a real problem.                                  
                                                                            
 Both agreed it would take something hot to free her chilly cheeks from the 
 Grip of the icy metal! Thinking about what had gotten her into the         
 Predicament in the first place, both quickly realized that there was only  
 One way to get her free. So, as she looked the other way, her first time   
 date proceeded to unzip his pants and pee her butt off the fender.         
                                                                            
 As the audience screamed in laughter, she took the Tonight Show prize      
 hands down. Or perhaps that should be 'pants down. 'And you thought your   
 first date was embarrassing. Jay Leno's comment...'This gives a whole new  
 meaning to being pissed off.'                                              
                                                                            
 Oh and how did the first date turn out? He became her husband and was      
 sitting next to her on the Leno show.</description>

Mopar or no car. 
The Mopar® brand will proudly celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2012. 
Starting as the name of a single product - anti-freeze - the Mopar brand evolved over 75 years, developing a strong identity that represents authentic parts and accessories, expert service, and convenient car care. Today, Mopar is moving full-speed ahead into the global marketplace and building on its reputation for top quality, trusted service and high performance. 
&quot;The Mopar brand has a proud, 75-year heritage,&quot; said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar. &quot;The mission at Mopar today is to fully support all of our brands by providing every single one of our customers with an exceptional after-sales experience. We will do this by continuing to offer cutting-edge technology, innovative products, authentic, quality-tested parts, and high-quality customer service.&quot; 
How it Began: MOtor PARts The Mopar brand was officially trademarked in 1937 at a meeting of the Chrysler Parts Corporation's Activities Council in Highland Park, Mich. The committee mulled over a list of names for Chrysler's anti-freeze product and came up with &quot;MoPar,&quot; a contraction of the words MOtor and PARts. 
Mopar became a brand name for most Chrysler Corporation parts, and gradually evolved into the name of the parts business itself. The moniker was officially attached to a Chrysler parts organization in the late 1960s, when Chrysler created an aftermarket business unit named the Mopar Division. 
Mopar in the 1960s In the 1960s, the brand took on an expanded meaning with the advent of high-performance &quot;package cars,&quot; based on the 1962 Dodge Dart and Plymouth Belvedere. These specially crafted race vehicles dominated the drag strip, garnering the brand enduring respect from grassroots racers and automotive enthusiasts. 
The 1960s also saw the introduction of Max Wedge and HEMI® Super Stock package cars, as well as altered-wheelbase &quot;funny cars.&quot; Racers and enthusiasts began to refer to these exciting new race cars as &quot;Mopars,&quot; and a new car culture began to emerge. 
The last package cars of the era appeared in 1968, when Chrysler built a series of Dodge Dart and Plymouth Barracuda HEMI Super Stock cars. The legacy of these race vehicles is carried on today in NHRA competition in the Super Stock/A-HEMI (SS/AH) class in the Mopar HEMI Challenge. 
Mopar further served this new market for high-performance by introducing a line of &quot;special parts&quot; for super-stock drag racers, which was continuously expanded throughout the 1970s and 1980s as the Mopar &quot;Direct Connection&quot; line of parts. The brand's performance parts business ultimately developed into the Mopar Performance Parts division in 1987, with the aim of enhancing speed and handling in vehicles for both road and racing use. 
Mopar Today: A Global Brand Supporting Chrysler Group LLC and Fiat S.p.A With Chrysler Group LLC's partnership with Fiat S.p.A, Mopar continues to expand its global footprint. In 2011, Mopar opened operations in Shanghai and Dubai along with Mopar Express Lanes in the Middle East. The brand started showcasing its vast product portfolio at international auto shows including Frankfurt and Bologna. And to support the North American launch of the new Fiat 500, Mopar introduced more than 150 quality-tested accessories. 
The evolution of Mopar continues unabated, with a number of milestones and innovations achieved in recent years. In November 2008 Mopar reintroduced the &quot;package car&quot;- the 2009 Mopar Challenger Drag Pak, with the first of the race-ready vehicles delivered to Mopar drag-racing legend &quot;Big Daddy&quot; Don Garlits. Mopar also produced a 2010 version and then ramped up the program with more cylinders and more excitement with the introduction of the 2011 Mopar Challenger V-10 Drag Pak, a 512 cubic-inch monster. 
The brand revealed a historic &quot;first&quot; in 2010 with the introduction of the Mopar '10 Challenger, the first-ever Mopar version of a production Chrysler Group vehicle. The Mopar '11 Charger followed for the 2011 model year, putting first-ever limited-edition, Mopar-badged production vehicles on the showroom floor. 
Over the years, Mopar expanded its service and parts offerings. With the introduction of Mopar Express Lane service, customers now have an option for fast, affordable and dependable routine vehicle service. And with extended customer-service hours on Saturday, needed repairs and service may be scheduled to fit in even the most hectic schedule. 
Today, competitive makes are also welcome for Mopar service at Chrysler Group dealers. The brand's new partnership with Magneti Marelli, announced in April 2011, gives the Chrysler Group dealership network the ability to fully service competitive vehicles. The Italian aftermarket parts supplier is currently supplying Mopar and Chrysler Group dealers with more than 3,000 parts including brakes, shocks, struts, oil filters, air filters, fuel filters and cabin filters for competitive makes. 
Through its long history, Mopar has always been on the leading edge of technical advancements, and the brand continues to blaze a trail on the technological front. Recent industry-first features from Mopar include smartphone vehicle-information applications, electronic owner manuals, in-vehicle Wi-Fi, and a new interactive vehicle tracking device that sends owner a text when vehicle is driven too fast or too far. 
After 75 years, Mopar continues to serve a vital role in the success of Chrysler Group, reflecting the brand's strength and heritage. The source for all original-equipment parts for Chrysler, Jeep®, Dodge, Ram, SRT® and Fiat vehicles, Mopar adds value to every Chrysler Group and Fiat S.p.A vehicle, with the shared goal of adding value to the company's brands and satisfying customers. 
Mopar-First Features Mopar has introduced numerous industry-first features including: 
• Vehicle-information apps: first to introduce smartphone vehicle-information applications, a new channel of communication with consumers 
• Electronic Vehicle Tracking System (EVTS): first to market with a new interactive vehicle tracking device that sends owner a text when vehicle is driven too fast or too far based on pre-set parameters 
• Wi-Fi: first to offer customers the ability to make their vehicle a wireless hot spot 
• Electronic owner manuals: first to introduce traditional owner manuals in a DVD and brief user-guide format 
• 2011 Mopar Challenger Drag Pak: first to introduce a 500-plus cubic-inch V-10 drag-race package car 
• Camper trailers: first to introduce off-road camper trailers 
• WiTECH: first to support vehicle diagnosis and software updates leveraging off-the-shelf personal computers and a dedicated wireless tool network

75 Years of Mopar Mopar (a simple contraction of the words MOtor and PARts) was trademarked for antifreeze product in 1937. The Mopar brand made its mark in the 1960s - the muscle-car era. The Chrysler Corporation built race-ready Dodge and Plymouth &quot;package cars&quot; equipped with special high-performance parts. Mopar carried a line of &quot;special parts&quot; for super-stock drag racers and developed its racing parts division called Mopar Performance Parts to enhance speed and handling for both road and racing use.

It was a terrible month or so not knowing what was wrong with it and thinking that it would never be fixed (from what I was hearing!). Polished it on the weekend so things are looking good. Thanks to everyone for your help. See you on the next PT run!</description>

Question why do you need the blank outs anyway 

Now that is an interesting question with 2 answers
1. To obviously &quot;blank&quot; out the holes where the fog lights woyuld be
2. Its Steve?? He is probably making a Flux capacitor and these are an important part.

I won't be listing parts I have in storage   

Lets just say I do have 1 brand new passenger side door   
Why? because I do   

Going by all the responses to this (thank you one &amp; all) I'm definitely not alone.

Wish it was a Flux capacitor (a PT would be just as cool as a DeLorean)  :-D :-D :-D

Need them to fit DRLs where the fog lights are on my dear cousin's PT.

BTW- those who know Moni would realise that 'strange' is far too soft a term for her to use; 'weirdo' or 'fruit-loop' is the more common term :-D :-D :-D  , so welcome to &quot;the club&quot; all of you! :P :P :P

They're not looking too bad. 
Murray said that he had to dom them again after about 5 months, and will probably need doing again soon (another 5 months), but the Turtle Wax product is only around $25 and you will get about 4 treatments out of it (plus the required 'elbow grease'.</description>

            <description>Some of these comments were made by educators on their school reports... 
1. Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig.
 
2. I would not allow this student to breed.
 
3. Your child has delusions of adequacy.
 
4. Your son is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot. (my favorite)
 
5. Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.
 
6. The student has a 'full six-pack' but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together.
 
7. This child has been working with glue too much.
 
8. When your daughter's IQ reaches 50, she should sell.
 
9. The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.
 
10. If this student were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week.
 
11. It's impossible to believe the sperm that created this child beat out 1,000,000 others.
 
12. The wheel is turning but the hamster is definitely dead.</description>

            <description>Was in Lavington today and I know most people have organised their accomadation but for those that haven't I called into the Crystal Fountain Motel to check how things are going and they would like all those who pre booked to confirm by the end of January please.
One reason why is 2 older motels further out closer to the Hume are closing, one at the end of Jan and the other soon after so there maybe a rush on late bookings. Can't say people haven't been warned if they miss out on accomadation.</description>

 From the Workshop manual code 551 is - &quot;INCORRECT POWER STEERING SWITCH IMPUT DETECTED&quot;.  This switch is located on the Power Steering Rack assembly were the steering coloum goes into the rack. It is adjacent to 2 metal pipes and a rubber hose.  Hope this helps. 

Top input there Al...

Sounds like a faulty sensor (in 9 out 10 cases it is). Plenty of our members have had various faulty sensors, and they're usually a relatively easy fix.

For future reference, fault codes can be found here-

They are actually the same for almost all makes &amp; models (Bosch designed system, often used and/or copied).

            <description>A golfer hits his ball into a yard next to the golf course. As he goes to get it, a man in the yard says, &quot;Don't you see the sign? It says, 'Private property-Stay Out!&quot;

The golfer says, &quot;I'm sorry I did not see it. That’s my ball there. May I have it, please?&quot;

The man says, &quot;It's in my yard and so it's my ball now.&quot;   

The golfer looks at the man and says, &quot;O.K.! I understand.&quot;
He then walks back to the golf cart, gets another golf ball then walks back and throws it into the yard.

The man says, &quot;What’s that for?&quot;

The golfer replies, &quot;I consider myself a gentleman, and I believe every *#ic k should have two balls.&quot;
