Got to the third neighbor, the ones that usually have 3-4 cars sitting in front of their garage. They had been shoveling out in front of the garage all winter and piling the snow off the edge of the apron.

Oh, and while I was blowing out their driveway I disintigrated one of those little red plastic sleds.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?").
