So driving today in my neighborhood I saw this kid in a prius pouring a 5 gallon thing of gas into his car...he was stopped in the middle of the road...his friend in his escalade looks like he came to the rescue and brought him the gas...it was pretty hilarious...anyways, just thought I'd share ;)

so well i just got back from hawaii... but my mom tells me that while i was gone, my dad goes to wash his toyota tundra, i guess it was a pretty hot day, and as he sprayed down the front windsheild it cracks from one corner to the next... so they get it replaced.... without taking it to the dealership to replace, 29k miles...

You've gotta love kids these days...So here I am sitting up in my room...my room faces the front of our house...my window is wide open and my lights are on... I here these footsteps coming up towards my house...I think nothing of it and I dont bother looking outside...next thing you know I hear this banging on my door and these kids laughing and running away... From how I remember it, you are usually supposed to ring the doorbell but whatever...I just love how they did it...I mean, my lights on and you can clearly see me up in my room. I know who they are, they live only a couple houses down, I can hear them out there right now, sounds like they are having a get tog…

Did you guys read that thing where Australian temp agencies, hiring Santas for the season, suggested to them NOT to say the beloved, intrinsically linked HoHoHo, but to say "HaHaHa" instead... to avoid offending women? This has got to be one of the stupidest, most lamebrained things I've read... like little kids would even know anything about hoes.

I dunno if anyone watches Ulitmate Fighter, but the winner won a freakin 2005 Scion. hahaha dang. Get your face bashed in for a college car. dang that hurts. Also, if anyone was watching Barrett Jackon auctions today...did you catch the Paul McCartney car? It sold for over $100 grand and it was the only one made. (Cadillac CTS) they made it just for him (no animal products) never driven, and every penny went to charity for Adopt A Minefield. The sun visor was signed by him and Jay Leno. Just thought it was pretty sweet. Too many damn corvettes though.

Last Thursday night/Friday morning a thunderstorm rolled through Fargo. One of the loudest thunderstorms I have ever been in the middle of. The thunder was actually shaking the house and the lightning was non-stop. Very odd for this time of year as well as it was only like 60 that day and in the mid 50s when this storm rolled through. The storm dropped hail all the way through town, but the worst part was in the southern end of town. It dropped golf ball size hail throughout most of southern Fargo, and baseball size hail in a few places. Anyway, it happened to hit all the dealerships in town with big enough hail that they received damage. Including the Cadillac dea…

The President spoke at a meeting today at the hotel just north of the office building where i work today. Literally a couple hundred feet or less away. The point where they brought him in the building was across from the north side of our floor which I work on. So we spent a good deal of the afternoon waiting to see the motorcade arrive and leave. He drives into a tent and they close the tent so the general public cannot see what's going on. Personally, I get the feeling they have some Famous Dave's barbeque under the tent that all the security forces and GW were snacking on. There was less of a visible force than I imagined there would be, but who knows, maybe th…

this topic is for talking hair bands! new or old, let's revive this great music!

I checked out the MSN web page today and got a more realistic account of the earthquake in Haiti, with its magnitude of 7.0. First, I was not aware that there was such a change in potential seismic activity from Florida (essentially nil) to a relatively nearby Caribbean island. Regardless, the amount of devastation is mind-boggling. I was sitting there thinking about how I bitch and moan about what isn't right while people out there are trying to survive in the most deplorable conditions. I plan to keep the Haitian earthquake victims in my prayers and will also make a small donation via one of the Catholic charities. I know that the Masses typically pass around anoth…

For the first time in what seems like forever, I'm going to be able to do something on Halloween. We're planning on going to the pub crawl, and I need to think of a kickass costume. My initial though was a giant tampon, but that would lead to logistical problems. I've also though about putting on a dress and makeup and just being a drag queen for a night. I cant think of anything good. Maybe I can be the white Mr. T

Well, I went and got screwed out of $9 last night to see the new Zombie flick. I give it a 3 out of 10... It's not true to the original concept, the acting sucks and the story is BOR-ING. It's basically "The Devil's Rejects" with different characters and a more boring concept. Don't get me wrong; I LOVE Rob Zombie and I'm a HUGE fan of House of 1000 Corpses (Hence my avatar) but it seems that he's starting to lose it (Especially on the movie side)

Just returned from a few days at Universal Studios Orlando (stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel) and we spent three nights at the annual Halloween Horror Nights. My wife and I are big horror fans and of Halloween. Here's some choice pics from the trip: When you first walk in, there is the "Horror Comes Home" street that walks you to "The Arrival" stage. Along this street is a bunch of strange characters: Here's me and an evil woman on stilts: My wife with this creepy stilt guy: This guy creeped me out the most, especially in the dark: And yes, that is a plastic chest-plate: Then there is a little show called "The Arrival" where the Devil takes the ashes of HHN …

Even though it does not feel like it in NJ (mid 80's the last week or so), I'm getting ready for the greatest holiday - Halloween. I usually spend all my time turning half my basement into a haunted house for our big Halloween party, but this year I decided to build some outdoor decorations from scratch. Meet Lloyd the unfriendly scarecrow. Got him up this morning to protect the house: And he will be soon joined by Harry out front: I'm pretty happy with the way they came out - newspaper, paper towels, chicken wire and duct tape. What are you guys doing for Halloween?

Okay. So it's no secret that I'm not very Komputir savy. I used to mess around with software & hardware back a million years ago when I was in High School & College. These days though I'd much rather read about how to install my BMW's 'cartridge struts' or overhaul a Nailhead 364 than anything with a microprocessor. Trouble is, my retarded cat sat on my laptop's keyboard. She does ALL the time... except this time she managed to rotate my screen 90* on my laptop's primary monitor. I run a two-monitor setup so I've just been using the other one but I can't replicate the keystrokes or undo the changed setting. Windows Help shows nothing under …

Is there a difference between fiberglass handles & wood handles on body hammers? I was looking at these two sets and was trying to decide which one to get. http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/p-11665-14367.aspx http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/p-10861-13305.aspx

For fun, let's see what everyone uses for hand tools. This applies to screwdrivers, wrenches, sockets, and the like. This does not include power tools. I'll do a thread for that later. You can choose multiples.

I thought id be cool to have another forum game in here. This one is hangman. The only differnce in this game is that there is unlimited geusses. Do i need to explain how to play? here is the phrase: _ _ _ _ _ <->_ _ _ _ _ _ Hint: The cars name is an element :AH-HA_wink:

Whether you are a fan of Hank Williams and his type of music or not, this is a great read. Check it out: http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?se...article_id=6678

I got up at 5, my usual time. Clouds were thickening at that point. Later, it began to sprinkle, and the rain has built in intensity all day. It's now windy, dank and thundering, with heavy rain. A perfect day to cuddle and look out the window, if you have a live person or life-like blowup doll with you. Has anyone else been affected by this storm?

I have never seen a griup of people I want dead more than this group of heartless, anti-American, anti-decent human beings in my life. I Think we'll all agree to that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G470rfJQCI

- Finding out that the bodyshop that was supposed to paint your truck has gone out of business. -Having to have said truck towed home on short notice before the shop's landlord has it removed. -Seeing all the damage done to the truck from sitting outside so long. -Finding out that some of your new parts are missing along with all of the hardware to re-assemble the truck. - Not being able to get the shop owner on the phone. I don't need this crap right now!

Happy B-day, sir! (...wanted to make sure you could read this at your age, no offense!)

Well, 10 years ago today - March 15, 2002 - I became a member of CheersandGears.com. I am not the oldest posting member by any means, [cough]Camino[/cough] , but I have never left this place for more than a week's time (hey, sometimes I needed a vacation!). I have learned quite a bit about my favorite automaker, more than I sometimes wanted to know about other automakers, have met a bunch of C&G members over the years in person, and have been blessed with gifts from members past and present (and have tried to do my share of "passing it forward"). This is the place I come to for my daily dose of automobilia and don't foresee me leaving any time soon (God willingly!)…

I hope you're having a good B-day.

Happy birthday, Variance! ...Or may I say, Have yourself a very GTO day. That's not too many pics, is it? I was going to post 20, but... yeah.

and to you sir on your 21st birthday! I hope it's a fun and memorable one - but also a safe one too!

I'll buy you a beer or three later.

Man, you picked a good day to be born. Parties all around!

Here's to a great Sunday, doing what you want to do. Happy B-day, sir.

To everyone at Cheers and Gears and all our Guests,

Yes, its all a big joke. There are enough publications and magazines out there that do suck up to Toyota that much; we will always offer you our General Motors side for free. Hope someone got a laugh.

Happy 20th To You ToniCipriani!!!!! So what did you get?

We haven't seen much of you lately, what with you becoming an astronaut and all. If you can read this from space, have a good one, sir.
