Brings back memories of the days I plowed snow commercially. Pulled a 48 hour shift back in mid 90's......I remember getting tunnel vision after a while from the snow flakes coming at me in the head lights.

Yep. Went to work at noon on Saturday, and left for home at noon on Sunday - 24hrs later. Got a few hours nap - and went back at it.
Snow tunnel vision happens all the time - after concentrating on snow and snow drifts for so many hours, that's all you see.
It's like spending so many hours on a boat - your body is still rocking even after being back on land. :D
 
Yamaha - "Let's make a couple bad timing chains"

Audi - "Hah. We'll make millions of them. And overengineer the hell out of them. And make parts absurdly expensive. And we'll put them on the backside of the engine to make your life hell trying to change them. Ze germans always win!"

That's a beast! What is it?

Looks like a Swiss watch!
 
4.2L V8 FSI. This one from a 2008 Audi A6, but found in anything from S4's to Q7's. Loads of fun. Had a broken valve spring and 2 bad tensioners on 2 different chains (4 chains total). Quick and easy way to spend $8,000.
