  1. After last winter, no thanks, at least not in mass quantitys again.........
  2. I'm thinking that too, the labels on the bottles look like the acrylic ones as does what little I can see of the box. Edit: Not to mention it says Acrylic in two other languages on the bottom left of the box too.
  3. They already have, the Christmas employees are pretty much done after tonight. It's nearly all hands on deck all day long tomorrow, the we are closed Christmas.
  4. I filled my Jeep friday night and it was $2.29 9/10 at a number of stations near work, but when I left work last night, there were a number of stations down to $2.24 9/10.......I am not complaining!
  5. Sore feet! The HTU I work for changed hands in March and the new owners have really turned the place around. On Saturday we beat the previous owner's best day ever over 17 years of ownership.............today, we beat Saturday with less staff on hand!
  6. I'm guessing no, otherwise the driver would have realized that doing so on that road would be a bad idea.........sometimes even in a far lesser vehicle.
  7. Anymore, I'm pretty sure those sorts of folks were born without common sense, common decency, and lack of the "talkitive gut"
  8. Driver and passenger survived, unlike the car
  9. This link has some better pics in it. http://www.streetlegaltv.com/news/hellcat-carnage-this-one-left-the-lot-an-hour-later-it-is-totaled/ Somehow I've got the feeling that just about any performance oriented car or truck could have had a similar fate with a comparably low performance driver.
  10. Tell me about it, I had just gotten out of the 200 at the 7-11 near work this morning when I heard a growl, turned around and saw the twin of the one pictured driving past the strip mall I was in. All I was thinking was.........what is that?! Too wild to be that Can Am trike, yet too few wheels to be a KTM Crossbow too. Had to look it up, turns out it's a Polaris!
  11. One of these Plus what looked like a street rodded mid-late 30's GM 5 window coupe in all black.
  12. I hope the McD's coffee is better than their hot chocolate then. That's not worth the money spent most of the time, I've bought better from 7-11 as well as the BP near work.
  13. A Delorian parked in front of a bar?!
  14. This, and it's been discussed here some for 1:1 scale stuff as "The Barrett-Jackson Effect"........somebody sells a Hemi Cuda Convertable for better than $1m US at one of B-J's televised auctions, and now that rustbucket /6 coupe that's only good for a VIN tag (and barely at that) is now "worth" a bargain price of $15k US.
  15. Rubber cement, talked to a couple R/C airplane guys about that over the years. You might also see if you can find 3M spray adheasive, been a while since we've had some at work, but I think it might have been a bit pricy.
  16. Forgot, saw one of the new Colorado pickups yesterday! At the time, Kress Rd. In West Chicago on the part where the road ramps up to go over the U.P. tracks. I actually waited for the the owner with my flashers on since it was a bad spot to leave a dark colored car with no working hazard lights (or tail lights, or gas gauge.........), especially on days like that and since it was also around 3:30pm or so when I stopped.
  17. Was this eBay seller going by the name RC Recycler by chance? He's got an entire thread dedicated to his random acts of pricing insanity on rc stuff, especially crawler related, over on RCCrawler.
  18. Had my 200 in for what turned out to be a minor repair (wiring from the body to the active headrests went bad, throwing the airbag light) and got a call this morning to say it was ready as I got to work. Instead of having to rush over to pick it up after work but before they closed (logistically difficult, even though the two aren't too far apart), leaving the Jeep there to take that home, then Dad and returning in his van for the Jeep, Dad and my sister's BF went to get it and it's already home!
  19. Just had this done to my laptop. It started acting odd a few montys ago and I was going to tinker with it, but never got the chance. Dad realizes I haven't been messing with it so he decides to do the same a couple weeks back and has the same issues, so he decides to take it to a little repair shop a few minutes from home that had just fixed my sister's laptop (viruses and a bad battery) and he had found the HD was dying and transfered everything over to a new HD and installed it.........for cheap?!
  20. No, it was specifically for the Chrysler, but I asked what I did before she got that far to be a bit of a jerk.........being cold called while asleep and all.
  21. Nothing of interest sofar today, but I did see a ratty, very well used aircooled Beetle pulling onto the road I found the above Nash on while heading into work early yesterday (we've been that busy)!
  22. When she started her whole monolog, I asked if it was for my car that had 160k on it (my Jeep), or the one that has 32k on it (my 200), kinda threw her off her game for a few moments
  23. Just had someone call to try and sell me an extended warranty for my Chrysler.......while I was still asleep.
  24. Finally figured out how to get the Hellcat ringtone to work on my phone.
  25. Got my Telluride on some rocks finally today! It's only been completed since September and only driven over the curbs at work since then..........and it does need more for some sort of limited slip or diff locker, the extra heavy oil isn't heavy enough....guess I need tk look for Silly Putty sometime soon.
