Big Wheels For Big Boys For Big Bucks
Anyone heading out to the Vegas strip later this month to check out the Barrett-Jackson Auction?
I was scanning through their sale bill when I came across this great listing and every guy simply must have...if only I had a place to park it!
One-of-a-kind. A "to scale" Honda 3-wheeler that is 10' tall to handle bars. Took 1 1/2 years to build. Features a 489cid/1200hp aluminum Keith Black HEMI in front and a 78hp/1100cc Honda motorcycle engine in the rear.
You can check out the entire listing here.
I guess that it just goes to show that some guys have way too much money and time on their hands.
Man Burned Siphoning Gas
Only in Wisconsin...
MUKWONAGO, Wis. - Police said a man was arrested after he used a cigarette lighter while trying to siphon gasoline from a van. The man, who was visiting friends, went to drive home early Saturday but realized that he didn't have enough gas in his SUV.
Police said the man tried to siphon the gas with help from another woman, but he couldn't see how much gas was in the container, so he used the lighter to check.
A blast of fire burned his hands and caused nearby residents to call police.
Police said he and the woman were located later in a store parking lot. He was arrested for theft and negligent use of burning materials.
The woman was referred to authorities for being party to theft. Formal charges haven't been filed.
Ford Wishes GM Happy 100th
I ran across this photo earlier today when I was surfing the web here in Mayberry...Andy was kind enough to let me out of jail early after I slept of yesterday's bender...
Anyway, I guess that sometimes a simple card just can't express your thoughts and feelings, especially when you are wishing your competition a happy 100 years of business.
The folks over at Ford offered this birthday greeting on the side of their corporate offices.
