    subaru forester?

  2. dono1 says:

    It looks like the hood is sticking.

  3. kc/cc says:

    Nice effort, and I know the economy’s affecting us all, but a bit of advice: if you leave the hood down, the engine will stay warm longer, and it’ll be a lot easier to trap whatever happens by for dinner in there that way.

  4. towny says:

    if you want a big trunk you are going to have to live with a few branches

  5. dono1 says:

    You know you’re in trouble when the mechanic has to use a divining rod to find your radiator leak.

  6. Dogmeat says:

    This must be one of those hybrid SUVs I have heard so much about. I’m all for going green. However, I think the reason the owner’s engine is running rough is because it could use a little pruning.

  7. JB says:

    Going green!

  8. herds789 says:

    Most people like to grow plants in clay or plastic planters, but whatever.

  9. boringTroll says:

    The stick is just being used to prop the hood open.

  10. kelticladi says:

    These are state-of-the-art leaf springs…

  11. BushRat says:

    Green technology has arrived. I just hope this car isn’t powered by natural human gas…

  12. herds789 says:

    Son, did you go out drinking with your friends last night and joy riding my car through the woods again? — Uh, no dad.

  13. X to the Z says:

    Now that’s what I call a sticky situation!

    *audience laughs*

    • Anna Rexia says:

      *audience laughs* *crickets*
      Fixed.

    • kc/cc says:

      Canned laughter AND crickets. Heheh, I love these old comedy sketches. And a-WAY we go!

      *munching popcorn*
      *turning up volume*

      • X to the Z says:

        at least YOU understood my reference.

        • kc/cc says:

          Mostly I think we should all just sit back and laugh at each other. Life’s just easier that way. But Anna is generally quick to edit around here, and I imagine no attempt at bringing one’s own audience has ever gotten past. It’s sort of like watching Zorro, really: fancy, lightning-fast, precision sword work. Fascinating. Let’s try an experiment and see what happens:

          *audience applauds*

          • dono1 says:

            “Uh…Would you mind turning the lights off when you’re done up there?”
            *janitor leans broom against wall and puts on his jacket*

          • kc/cc says:

            Special thanks to dono 1, for his help in this investigation. While this has not entirely been a scientific experiment, I believe we all may conclude that “B.Y.O. Audience” is, indeed, one of the fastest means of drawing TIFI hecklers. Also, I must say that I have been wanting to thank dono 1 for calling attention to the way Alfred E. Neuman very much resembles David Letterman. After all these years, the likeness is still quite remarkable!

            Good night, folks!
            *credits roll*

        • Anna Rexia says:

          I understood the reference. sticky. har.
          Pointing out a pun is one thing, but further emphasis on what was pretty weak will bring on the heckling. Thus, instead of applause, the crowd was so quiet, you could hear the crickets chirping.

  14. Timmah says:

    At least they’re Eco friendly, lol.

  15. hotclaws says:

    It’s weird though,it’s normally willows that grow in car engines.

  16. slapch0p says:

    Willy was tired of having his battery stolen on a near weekly basis.
    Ah, but Willy is not one to be trifled with. He purchased a shiny new battery at the local Wal-Mart and placed it in his car, propping open the hood with a stick to lure the unsuspecting thief. Unseen, however was the long string leading to Willy’s apartment, where he lies in wait to bring the hood crashing down on the would-be battery bandit’s head.

  17. Enginerd says:

    Gives new meaning to shade-tree mechanics.

  18. Ducked Ape says:

    Looks like a piece of dogwood – you can tell by its bark.

  19. Old Geezer says:

    Shade tree mechanic?

  20. TexasDan says:

    That Ent is going to want his finger back soon.

  21. Bowsers evil minion says:

    Now thats a green solution, i must say!

  22. Division Avenue says:

    Good to see a truely eco-friendly car.

  23. DH says:

    Nice try but no carbon credits for you!

  24. Sharpie says:

    I said leaf it alone, and I mean it!

  25. DZ says:

    I had a friend who drove an old El Camino. One day it made a loud noise and started spewing steam. Her boyfriend jumped out of the truck, looked under the hood, and saw a fair-sized hole in the block. He looked around in panic, grabbed a tree branch from the ground, and jammed it into the hole. Amazingly enough, it fit perfectly, and the heat and steam caused it to swell up and seal the hole entirely.

    She managed to drive it like that, with the branch sticking out of the engine, for several months before the branch came loose and she had to have it towed to the junkyard.

  26. mel says:

    sorry, i can’t drive stick!
