One thing I've noticed when my car sits for a few days is that it feels REALLY floaty when I get back into it.

Am I the only one who notices this?

Dude, how many times do I have to tell you? If the antifloatingdimble doesn't get flopped at least once every 39.4 hours it will float like the dickens until it resets. As you know, the only way to reset it is to drive it like the dickens for 14 seconds followed by driving it not like the dickens for at least 14 minutes and 14 seconds, repeating at least 4 times every hour for an hour and a half.

Sheesh :rolleyes:

"Dimble" is the german pronunciation

Example: De Bimmer is in de slide coming out of der turn...Zer Goot !

:D

No, no, no...the gimble is part of the gauge which measures the current effectiveness of the antifloatingdimble.

Whatever you do, do not lock up the gimble. Otherwise you could go flying into space. I've seen it happen, and it is NOT pretty...

Does installing a flux capacitor and a 1.21 gigawatt power source keep the dimble stable?

No, but you're close... It is the space modulator that keeps the gimble aligned.

Oh no! I replaced my space modulator with a continuum transfunctioner. Am I screwed? :dunno: :cry: :bawling:

Depends on how frequently your car beeps at you... You're definately screwed if it hasn't beeped in the last 6-8 months...
