  • Forgotten moment from DW '13 - ick

    I was looking for something else and happened across this picture that made me cringe and laugh at the same time. Leaving one of the tracks I needed to add some water to the car so we stopped at a gas station and I got some bottled water which I put it in.

        I would ask what day/track, but I know better that that. It gets hard to keep them all straight.
