My wife and I were on vacation in Golden Colorado a couple of weeks ago and were were on our way to Denver airport to catch an early flight. We stopped for red red light and waited 6 full minutes but it didn't turn green. It was 2 AM and there was absolutely no traffic on the road. I backed up and pulled up to the stop line again thinking I didn't trip the timer.

by a Google camera. I was outside weed-whipping, when he drove by. I had my back to him, so no privacy issues. By the way, they must have some high speed cameras, cause he was driving fast. Now, how long before I am immortalized on Google.

That time we got our tire patched at Costco, for whatever reason, the tech replaced the green valve stem cap (part of a kit when they replaced the tires), which is long and round, with a normal one, which is shorter and more angular, i.e. normal.

This is my first ever contact with auto HVAC. the reason is I've never had a car with any issue so no need.

Anyway my wife's GM SUV has had a hissing sound that cycles, for at least this year.

Last week, I think it was Wed., it was very hot and humid. So when I drove her car to work, it was probably only 70F at most, and the car was dripping water front and rear (rear evap), so good.

This week we're recognizing Dutcherp5 & Plunder!

Dutcherp5 has been a member of POI Factory for nearly 5 years.

Plunder has been a member of POI Factory for over 14 years.

For anyone who has gotten a red light camera ticket:

1. Did you ignore the ticket? If yes, what happened?

2. Did you contest the ticket in court? If yes, then what was the trial procedure and the outcome?

Thank you for any replies.

This is the official POI Factory Joke thread.

****Note regarding this month's delay in posting of the thread****

I strongly considered discontinuing the POI Factory Joke Thread.

Forum moderation is not easy in general, let alone a joke thread, particularly in a time of extreme political polarization and social disruption. So please be thoughtful in what you chose to share here.

Perhaps you can post on a new book you're reading, a new hobby you're taking up or about random finds as you finally get around to cleaning out the..., or your most recent adventure?
