So these Saudi guys carry bricks in their car to fix a flat? Please explain. They don't sound too smart to me. Maybe it's the desert heat.

I have no idea what you said in that tweetie-talk post. I used a Portuguese (Brazil) translator and it only made it worse. I don't kill for fun so you're safe.

Lugnut, he didnĀ“t write in Portuguese. ThatĀ“s Spanish!! ThatĀ“s why your translator made it worse

and what are you talking about bricks??? I didnĀ“t understand where you got that from :-S

sleepwalker, I didnĀ“t know you had navegated on the Carros de Rua website and found girls there. Well, they seem to be very simpathetic girls, donĀ“t you think?? lol

Santana has been in production here in Brazil since 1989, I think. So in 15 years of production it sure got famous. Now itĀ“s not a "best seller" anymore, but VW still produces it.

And by the way: where are you now??

Geez! How am I supposed to know it's Spanish versus Brazilian-Portuguese? Okay, give me some time and I'm sure I'll have something to say to sleepwalker and his three-star-watching Tweetie turd.

A few posts up sleepwalker described Saudis being proud that they could remove a wheel with a flat tire by using the pnuematic suspension. He drew a picture in my mind where the suspension (and therefore the car) would be jacked up then bricks placed under the side or corner of the car where the flat tire was (not under the tire). When the suspension was retracted, the wheel would remain in the air so it could be removed. In order to do this they would need to carry around the necessary bricks. I don't think that's very smart.

- Those bricks costs money in gas to haul around. Not a huge issue in Saudi Arabia, but it still costs to haul weight.

- If the bricks aren't totally secure, they will roll around and dent the rear quarter panels from the inside out. They will also weaken from rolling around and may break apart just from that.

- Bricks are one of the most dangerous items you can put under a raised car to hold it up. Bricks are strong, yet weak. If you press lightly but firmly in a certain way on a brick it will crack or crumble. Ask any brick mason. It would be much safer to use their AK-47.

- They can just use the jack that came with the car. Use the suspension to get it up then just put an extended jack under the car to hold it up while the suspension is retracted. If there's no weight on the jack a baby can extend it.
