I love my van

[drennan76]

I just had to fix the tail pipe on my van with Duct Tape.
Yes it is now being kept in place with duct tape.

Maybe for my next entry I will go through the list of things that have gone wrong with the van.

but the moral here is...

don't let anyone tell you duct tape is not the answer to all lifes problems.

You know what...I actually had an experience with duct tape NOT sticking to something! I was appalled. I couldn't believe it. I had to keep trying and trying to get it to stick, because, come on!! It's duct tape! It's supposed to stick to everything. But it just wouldn't stick. I have lost my faith.

Ya just didn't use enough of the stuff.

But... it wouldn't stick to the plastic. So no matter how much I used, it would still...just not stick!

next all you need is red green to give you a demonstration
or maybe a guest spot on the show

No as we have discussed many times before, I need my own TV show.

Just a warning: depending on how far up the tailpipe you're sticking the tape, and how large the hole/crack/opening you're covering, you might not get much mileage out of the duct tape. It tends to melt from the extreme exhaust heat at certain points. There *is* exhaust tape, however.

I got one day out of it. It melted away so instead of redoing it in duct tape, I used a coat hanger.

...also handy for those roadside abortions...

Duct Tape, is like the Force Drennan, dark on one side, light on the other, and binds the universe together!
