Local beauty pageant queen fixing her own car…
Someone took this picture of a friend’s daughter who is the current city beauty pageant queen. Apparently her car wouldn’t start so she popped the hood to get it going - while in her formal dress and crown.

Marriage material. Good for her.

I’m just trying to get past the oil check and windshield fluid replenishment right now. She’s young, early into ownership. I don’t like the answer, ‘they do the oil change’ responses.

Yes, building up to checking tire psi.

She drives a VW. Old hat for her.

If she can make a sandwich, she's a keeper.

The real question is, did she get it started?

It's a VW. I would guess that is the standard starting procedure.

Ya gotta spin the turbo once by hand, and smack the hamsters on the butt a couple of times… it’ll light right up. Wink


Seriously, though, good for her for knowing where to start and how to get it done. I’m betting she’s got a proud dad.




God bless America.

I have a 2018 Tiguan, and it has given me very little trouble. Overall, a very nice vehicle.

Except maybe for the darned recalls! Betcha she's checking the VIN to see how many recalls apply to hers.

And she wore the tiara all the way through. That's impressive.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
