My car is a hungry hungry hippo

[300PMP]

Just a small notice/warning...

Not only is the gas tank a greedy little gluttonous monster, but the car seats also have a habit of taking things that don't belong to them...Shame on them.

A couple days ago I noticed that I couldn't find my cell phone. So after a day of tearing my house apart, re-tracing all my steps (including going back to the Chinese restaurant that I had last visited), I cancelled my phone.

I'm sitting in line for the carwash last night, because I guess in Virginia that's the happening thing to do on a Wednesday night. I was sitting there listening to CDs when one of the cds dropped off my right leg into an abyss. I reach down on the right, and notice my hand doesn't even touch to the floor. I saw one of the cds that dropped, but I couldn't find the other.

So I had to get out of the car, open up the back seat, and get all the way down and reach up under the seat, and STRETCH. I found the cd, and WHAT'S this? YA! my phone...and now I can spend that $200 that I would have spent on a replacement phone and use it on some mud flaps

Actually, I think a lot of the threads are too serious, and I just try to ease things up a bit...response isn't always so receptive. :o

I too would like to hear funny stories from the 300 FAM

So THATZ where my cell phone went.
You need to look deep, deep under the front seats as well - to find the "cutout" in the carpetting that held many asundery items until I recovered them recently.
Will check that back seat now....

LOL. That is true with a FEW people. Most of the older members are VERY helpful. I remember when I started coming here users like HEMEE, Rouge, BrillianBlackHemi, etc.. were all very helpful and even nice to new comers.

While I am not as nice to people as those guys, I still try to be a little nice.

... and some newcomers make it easier to be helpful/nice than others!

New members? Bah, humbug.

....from the grumpy old fart in the Frozen North.

I know...most of em are really cool and helpful...I just like to poke a little bit at some of the more up tight ones, but still all in fun. I think this forum is awesome, otherwise I wouldn't check in at least once a day.

I just wanted to loosen the tone a bit, but maybe I should be in the off-topic forum
