I lay them down in my wife's Station wagon (Subaru Legacy Outback), it will fit one Dynamo sized cab pretty well.

I needed to lug two machines home; a Crystal Castles and Arkanoid home.

I went to the local home depot and asked to rent the HD van.

Apparently. I needed to buy something first

Apparently. I needed to buy something first  ::) , so I bought a couple of 2x4's  ;D


They didn't have a pack of gum you could buy?  Jeez, get a carpenter's pencil, and tell 'em you don't have a single place to put it in your car!  For someone who thinks they came up with such a bright idea.... ;)

Can't beat the price....$19.95 (ohh, and plus the $5.00 for the timber.


* DrewKaree mutters under his breath shoulda been $0.50 for the pencil, stooge!

Hey, what can I say, when the guy saw me coming with 2 2x4's to the cash he kinda rolled his eyes in disgust and said "Thats all you need, sir?????, you sure you cannot fit that in yer car?"...


Then you should have DEFINITELY put down the 2 x 4's and said, I don't NEED your snooty attitude, buddy....I thought your company motto was "we can help"....evidently you're not a company man, so maybe you should run off to the break room and pour yourself a big cup of shut the eff up.

Then tell him you WERE going to BUILD yourself some carpenter pencils with the wood, but since he's got such a poor attitude and doesn't REALLY want to help you, you're just going to take one pencil, pre-made, to teach him a lesson.

;D

And up here sir, that pack of gum is at LEAST $1.25 plus the GST and the PST, thanyouverymuch      ;)


Right, that's what I said, $0.50.  The problem is that I figured everyone knew you were buying it with Canadian money and that would amount to about five real dollars...i just skipped the middleman because if I said you were going to spend five of your screwy dollars, people would have told you to buy it on the internet, have people write "gift" on the outside, blah blah blah all that crap to avoid free health insurance excessive taxation ;) ;D

And hey, KNUCKLEHEAD!  Why didn't you buy some GRASS SEED?!?!? ;)

I have moved full size uprights in my old Lebaron convertible on more than one occasion. It worked, but it was scary having that thing towering over you in the back seat.

I want to go to an auction on may 7, i need to start working on a car now.  I can get a nissan quest with no trouble at all or a HUGE pickup.  The pickup will require A LOT of payback on my part and it will cost way more in gas too.  Can I get by with the quest?

Jabba, you should have returned the 2x4s when you returned the truck.  You really would have had the last laugh.

No, I was merely pointing out that Peale DID post a pic, and that mebbe he should make it bigger so delta could see it, since he seems to be unable to see Peale's pic.
