This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I was working on a VW Vanagon Campmobile and the blower motor I replaced was made in West Germany. Probably not the only thing since it was pre wall fall. And I must note: I wondered if I had a photo of it, so I started in on old photo archives. And I went down fuckin memory lane for about an hour straight, lol. And I found the photo (from 2019)
When I bought my Vanagon 8-9 years ago, the spare tire still said made in west Germany!
I replaced it along with the rest of the badly work truck tires that were on it.
