Mine would be a Scooby Doo if I ever find one! Right now its an old hot pot holder with an orca on it that came with the van all the way from WA. Of course that will stay in the van (laundered). _________________ '09 2.5L Jetta 5 cylinder, 5 spd, super turbo, see thread in H2O Cooled Jetta, etc...

We found this female Stegosaurus strolling though the Utah desert. She has had a place on our dashboard since. I've imagined the Stegosaurus moving kind of like our Syncro, slowly and steadily wandering.
Also featured at the beginning of this video.

I know its a female because the wifey named it Steggy Lee _________________ Tom, Juanita, Iggy & Abbey the Dirty Desert Dogs

A bit of river washed spruce (west coast Vancouver Island) and a horse's hoof (just south of Spatzizi Plateau). Not very cuddly.

Not to hijack the thread, but I thought that I was the only one this happened to. Mine caught one of the blades on the alt and exploded into red snow and then wrapped the remainder of itself on every spinning part in the engine compartment. Every time I work in there I pull more of it out. I feel your pain. |
