Rowing to the Krauts ruling the world - only on HHC

Speaking of Krauts, we? kicked their asses on the beaches of Normandy 79 years ago today.

Happy Operation Overlord Day to all who celebrate!

Grandpa Yella was there on nothing special Utah beach and I rowed at UW.

I bet they weren’t driving BMWs on dday though. I’m putting an asterisk on that one.

Speaking of kicking the Krauts' asses, the Boys in the Boat movie supposedly drops on Christmas Day.

Both Grandpas killed many a kraut in '44 and '45. One drove a Lincoln Towncar and the other a Vette. They wouldn't have been caught dead driving a Bimmer.

Well that’s good because if they tried the bmw they might have defected.

My old man busted my balls until the day he died…”Why do you want to drive Jap cars?”…never said a word when I had a GTI, but he was in the South Pacific…

Wow never thought I’d see the day where we managed to make talking about V8s gay.

Hold on now, fren. I actually own a V8 with 383 HP and gets like 12 MPG. That's way less gay than your Honda civic.

Mine has 455 hp and weighs much less than your rig. Hoping to bump it to 525+ hp next year with long-tube headers, cam, and tune.

Hey man, I never claimed to be some Brier hot rod bro. Rather, I simply have a gas guzzling V8.

Good. You don't got what it takes to be a Brier Hot Rod Bro. Laurelhurst, maybe.

If we could have bought a house in Laurelhurst and joined the LBC, I wouldn't have had to move to White Wakanda.

We lost in the semis of the Temple Cup (8+) and in the finals of the Prince Albert Cup (4+).

Boo.

I hate AWD in sports cars though. Makes the car too heavy and eliminates the need for skill. If I had a family I would definitely go the fancy SUV route (fancy coffee too hi @MikeDamone !)
