He traded an FD into a dealership? I wonder what he got for it, and more importantly what they're now asking for it.

For those of us (me) that are trading in games to get FM3 or CODMW2 here are the trades values. Any other trade in options?
http://www.gamestop.com/gs/specialty/tradeins/

If I trade in:
COD2
CODWAW
CODMW
FM
FM2
and if at least 4 of them are worth more then $2 I can get an additioanl $20! (better deal then the 25%).

very cool, it's always best to do it all at once.
when you put the plugs in, make sure you put some anti-seize on the threads. Auto Zone usually has tiny packets of it up at the register

my company had a pro-show sale today for painters.
the theme was a car show, sucks we only had 7 cars show up.
but i was talking to this guy that owns a smart car.
he said there is a shop that he went to and the owner
is doing v-8 swaps in the smart car..
there's suppose to be a video of car doing 180 on a track..

true story

i saw a honda fit today on the fwy do a 360 about 100 yards in front of me and other traffic. moments prior to that occurring, she flew by me going at least 100mph (i was going 80mph). she didn't hit anybody in her momentary loss of control, nor did she do a barrel roll in the fwy. as soon as she regained control of her car, she pulled over to the side of the fwy.

about 15min. later, this same woman passed me up, probably going 100mph again...

I guessing drugs were involved in that. I can see spinning out once, but driving like crazy right afterwards again, that's nuts.
