And now they are in park.
Go Johnny Go....

I knew Busch was a cheater. Look at that big NOS botle in the bck of his truck!
No such luck tonight, it's a Shrub.
And I thought it was a baby bottle...
Wonder if he took off his magnets?
Check out this story (with a link to a copy of the obit) about an obit in my local paper this past weekend. (That has since been pulled.) http://sfist.com/2008/08/18/update_dolores_aguilar_obit_is_dead.php
Baghdad Bob...
I saw that the other day. Have heard ill spoken of the dead before, but have never seen it in print. LOL
They’re also used to make the other cars get loose when they get close to your bumper.

IF MY BODY WERE A CAR...
If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model.. I’ve got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull ... But that’s not the worst of it.
My headlights are out of focus and it’s especially hard to see things up close.
My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather.
My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins.
It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently.
But here’s the worst of it —
Almost every time I sneeze, cough or laugh.....
Either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires !
Be safe bro. See ya on Saturday.
too funny!
that reminded me of a story I heard a while back
MicroSoft doesn’t think much of the consumer’s memory. Comparing SP2’s limited release to a car manufacturers “forcing” you to upgrade to a newer vehicle if you want airbags rememinds me of this little tidbit from Bill Gates ...
“At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated :
‘.. if GM had kept up with the technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.’
In response to Bill’s comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:
If GM had developed technology like Microsoft; we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Only one person at a time could use the car unless you bought “CarNT”, but then you would have to buy more seats.
6. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive-but would only run on five percent of the roads.
7. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single “General Protection Fault” warning light.
8. New seats would force everyone to have the same sized butt.
9. The airbag system would ask, “are you sure?” before deploying.
10. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
11. GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of Rand McNally road maps (now a GM subsidiary), even though they neither need nor want them. Attempting to delete this option would immediately cause the car’s performance to diminish by 50% or more. Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation by the Justice Dept.
12. Every time GM introduced a new car, car buyers would have to learn to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
13. You’d have to press the “Start” button to turn the engine off.
Too far for me (if there’s not a race).
I think you have a lot more miles, but I’m starting to develop this “miss” that I can’t figure out.
Good read. He’ll be missed and remembered.
