All right VW lovers!
I'm going to bump this thread.
The air is cold so get out there with your AIRCOOLS and G8r dun and VW's with tailgates are included!
GET THOSE COLD JUGS HOT!
Visualize the old 321 countdown emoji.
G00000000000!!!

You'll probably want to use the real product Tucks in the exhaust 
Yeah, it didn't take much thinking b'cuz there were 8 empty traps laying around for my dogs to chew on 
I was also considering trying to find an alpaca with a baby snake on top of it but I thought that might be very very difficult
Edit...
Forgot to picture leaving the house....
This is the shop but I did drive to release the catch from the Motel Mouse traps...
Here's a after photo I'll let the judges decide.
If it's approved, the next challenge can just have the person holding the peace sign with three fingers infrount of the cart if they don't want their face exposed.

thats George Toma. they call him "the sodfather". hes the worlds best athletic groundskeeper. he did every superbowl till 2023. did the olympics in '84 and 96. he is in a bunch of hall of fames. was the kc athletics and then royals as well as chiefs groundskeeper for forever.
the bug is staying in the garage for salt season. we get a winter mix here. the cold isnt a problem for me so if we get rains to wash the salt away we will be out and about.

Baited two motel mouses with dog food smeared with a little cheese after last night's post.... Wallah!
The old '12 EOS still drives.
No glass, hard top or doors anymore.
I think rodents are animals...
These mice are only tamed with a food source
WIN win mouse din? 
If it's a win the next challenge will have to wait a minute because I'm going back to sleep

The challenge is open to all VWs, old, new, aircooled, or water cooled.
