I am missing my positive battery terminal cover ever since I dropped it into a sharknado. Do you live near water??

Well if that does happen then maybe I can just come back as like Dr. Manhattan or something. I am curious as to how long that was stuck down there since I've had the car for almost 2 months now.

Except electrons flow from the negative side, not the positive side.

shhhhhh... Don't let them hear you! The electrons are everywhere.. you only think they flow from the negative side because that's what they want you to think. If they find out we know the truth; what they can do with the heat of an exhaust pipe is nothing compared to the hell they will unleash upon us all!!

oh, and I started with protons, but didn't think that sounded realistic enough
