Long story short... my buddy's ride was jacked while we were at Silver City watching... "Dude, Where's My Car". I poop you not.

I'll keep my eyes open.

Ironic, as if it wasn't bad enough having to sit through that horrible movie in the first place.

Not an MP! I used to drive one of those for years! Such sweet vans, rear wheel drive in the winter was so killer!

That is frickin' hilarious. (The story, not the movie...)

It isn't Silver City anymore.

It is now "Empire Studio 16 Country Hills".
That just rolls off the tongue

Another tidbit:

The windshield of our van also has cracks on the driver's side, quite a few.

Someone stole my truck a few year back.

They found it in Deer Run, empty (i had filled it up the day it was stolen, $90 DOH!).

Someone called it in, the tow guys came, and 3 weeks later decided to call me and ask when i was going to pick my truck up, and that i had 3 weeks of impound fees to pay.

Obviously, I was pissed, they dropped the fees to just the tow and 1 day, and I only had to replace the steering coulmn.

I ing hate theives.

No kiddin.. I never lock the doors in my POS car, cause I figure if someone breaks the windows in it, the insurance company might write it off..


Either way some kid on my street figured this out I guess.. and would go thought my car once every couple months... Dude even too a half full pack of gum one time.. I now leave a handfull of pennies in the ashtry in my car, so I can humor myself thinking about the value of this guys life as he runs down the street clutching 23 pennies...

Back in october, on the way to work I wasted half an extra large double double, into the console of my car, leaving the ashtry a slurry mess of sticky tim horton pennies.. By the time I get out of work, the ashtray looks alot like a Penny flavoured Ice Cap. As luck would have it, dude breaks into my car that night, and must have reached into the ashtray and come up with a handful of that concoction, cuase I found a line of pennies from the ashtray to the door the next morning. Dude hasn't broken into my car since.....


I hope whatever happens the situation works out for your parents..
