Guess Your online translator is right - that exactly what Daniel wrote. It
would be a whole different thing if You would put in "Scheinwerfer" ... :-)

With the exception of a spurious plural on pig thrower, your translator
got it right. I drew inspiration from an eBay.de auction I saw about 18
months ago, in which some schlemiel was selling a "hauptschweinwerfer"
(sic) for a 1998 Volvo V70. Amazing. What *will* those clever Swedes think
up next in the exciting field of auto accessories?

Heh heh! Pig thrower or main moose thrower - that must be the bumper.
On steam trains, we had cow catchers on the front of the engines. "Cow
thrower" would make more sense. I mean, it wasn't like they were trying
to catch the darn things!

It is like with 2 airplanes coming very close ... in Germany we say
"Beinahe-Zusammenstoß" (which would translate to something like "near
hit"), while in english it is called "near miss".

Does that mean "I get You the next time" ... :-) ... ?

My opinion went up now that they're selling them at bargain basement
prices... when it was a substantial fraction of the cost of a Viper it
didn't impress me AT ALL.
