[squirl033]

Hey thanks Mad, raiven and squirl. I was just sitting in my cruiser, (PT) that is, and decided to experiment! - jimmy :)

[Bambi]

aha! so that's why you are getting no where-you're in a PT cruiser ;)

Just kidding Jimmy. I love this shot. very well done!

Actually Bambi I have gone nowhere in my cruiser for the last month! You will not believe this story. I got a check engine light one morning so I took it into the dealer to be checked out. My code reader indicated it was the no. 2 oxygen sensor! The mechanics found the wiring to the sensor was chewed or eaten up by some small animal. Probably a mouse or squirrel, they thought. Yes, some small animal had eaten the wiring and I needed a new wiring harness! The part was ordered and I drove back to the dealer some 15 minutes away, a few days later. As the mechanics began to replace the harness they noticed some rabbit droppings on top of the transmission case! They reached up to clean them off and a rabbit jumped out of the motor compartment, and bolted out one of the open garage doors! Yes,the rabbit was living under my hood and had driven with me, God knows how many miles! It's a wonder it didn't fall out onto the highway and gotten run over! This is a true story. I swear - jimmy :rolleyes:

I would have thought the heat off the tranny would have driven the rabbit out.

I've heard stories of snakes doing that over here.

[jumpinjimmyjava]

I would have thought so too Mad. It is winter here and it probably takes more than a 12 min. drive to get the tranny very hot. I know it is hard to believe, buy it is true - jimmy. :shrug:

[Mad Aussie]

I figured it must have been winter when this happened for the trans (lets call it a trans shall we? ;) ) to stay cool enough not to create Rabbit ala Castrol Delight for dessert :)

[Bambi]

poor bunny :sad: -it probably seemed like a good idea at the time.

[kat]

Aww..poor bunny. I hear cats do that alot too. They wouldn't have a chance here with having to warm your truck for 15-20 before you can go.

Nice image. Great composition!

Interesting shot!

That was a low blow....! :rolleyes:

Hey Mad. In Canada we call them trannys not trans! A tranny is an automotive assembly of gears and associated parts by which power is transmitted from the engine to a driving axle. Haha. Also, in an emergency, you can cook a bunny on a tranny if you travel far enough to get the temp up! :laughing: Take care Mad and stay away from trannys! :headslap:

We call auto transmissions 'trannys' here also ... I just thought I'd use 'trans' so you wouldn't get excited ;) I worked in and managed an Auto Parts store for 12 years :)

[jumpinjimmyjava]

I never get excited about trannys Mad ! Haha. :angel: Though perhaps some day I would like to work in an auto parts store (NOT) Haha. Take care Mad - jimmy

[jumpinjimmyjava]

Thanks jchurill. Though the colour one is more up to my speed ! - jimmy :headslap:
