LOL, good one Purp! Grant, the pic was at Carlisle, and Joy, the one in the middle, went on to win Ms. Hawian Tropic later that year! Might be pricey now!

Bob, they're just like your average tail light. Basically with your stock units they shine red all over (red lense cover over the whole assembly). These only glow red where the round red lenses are, the rest of the lights chrome with the clear flat glass as a cover. Hooks right to your factory tail light wiring so ya dont have to make any wiring harnesses or anything.
Rumor has it since they've took off in popularity with the mini trucks and some factory new cars (Nissan, Lexus and BMW..Lexus made 'em popular with the new GS300 Altezza) some of the street rod boys want 'em. Only lights I see that will work is '39 Ford teardrops, '46-8 Chebbie, Tri Fives and maybe some 40's and 50's trucks. Time will tell...everything else has gone full circle..this fad will too LOL..

Grant,
So we're still waiting. Also have a question you don't have to answer if you don't want but their might be others like me who don't know the answer either. What was the situtation that caused you to have the four wheeles under you as you mentioned? Again, it's up to you.
Bob

Bob
Basically to keep it short sweet and to the point without going into the whole shebang and getting ya all confused with the big words doctors thrive over, born with Spina Bifida and soft bones. After ump-teen (30+ and i'm not exadurating here) "corrective" surgerys that didn't exactly correct here I am. Hell, I got more rods pins screws nails and stuff in me then most hot rods have! LOL
The doc's said I was gonna be a "Million Dollar Baby" by the time we got to about as good as I'm gonna get and buddy, lemmie tell ya..I'm close. LOL..Just think, ya coulda built at bare minimum 5 real super high tech rides or about 20 low to mid range hot rods on my tab! LOL
See ya!!
Grant

BUT that still doesn't explain the MENTAL void!! (just kidding!) I thought you were going to get wild with the graphics. What happened? I think I can find you a hula doll for the dash.

YOU MIGHT BE A RICE BOY IF ...
... you find yourself using the excuse 'yo, but you gots twice as many cylindas, dude..after EVERY race
... your gumby pants make it hard to shift
... you have stickers that even most asians don't get
... you have stickers for parts you don't have
... you refer to 50hp as the 'big shot'
... your car has so much camber it can drive on its side
... your exhaust tip diameter is 4 times the inner muffler diameter
... birds make nests on your spoiler because its taller than the trees
... you sell crack for the image...not the money
... you have "All Motor" emblazoned on your rear hatch right next to your 14.50 dial in
... you brag to have nitrous and have a 14.50 dial in
... your exhaust system for your 1.8L is bigger than most Pro-stock cars
... you spent more money on stickers and stripes than your parents paid for your car
... you go to a performance shop and immediately start rummaging through the decal bin
... your tach is bigger than your head
... you have a shiftlight and your car is an automatic
... you refuse to race because it's a "show car"
... at Autocross events you don't participate because you have a drag race setup and at drag events you brag about kicking ass on the autocross.
... you have more lights on the front of your car than the USS Voyager
... more than 20 of your mods involve shielding what is actually underneath
... your exhaust sounds like a dying Moose
... your bright green $300 air filter is bigger than your engine.

George you hit the nail on the head, I run the art department for a lighted sign mfg, we get these kids in almost daily wanting "stickers" made for their cars. The kid that works for me does some of the decals, but our policy is if their pants are way too big, they pay way too much! I love to hear them talk cars, one, the other day was talking about some car he saw with a straight V-6!
I printed your list to post on the bulliten board!

speaking of the pants sometimes i`ll chase these kids(on foot) just to see if they can run and how far they get..and with 30 lbs of gear on my belt i have no problem catching them..i`ve heard of bell bottoms but they go a little overboard..some of them are over 20" wide at the bottom...maybe it`s me...

I Agree....I can't stand those Gang-Banger baggy pants either.When I'm approached by one of them about a job,I simply tell them that if they're not smart enough to figure out what size pants they wear that I'm sure they're not sharp enough to work for us!!I agree that clothes don't make the person but many of them carry it to the extreme! Just my opinion! Oh yeah...the same type of response when one drives up with his seat laying in the reclined position...If you're too tired too sit up to drive......See Ya!!

Yea, but it CAN'T be THAT bad. She defied gravity. So, it might be down to earth! Grant. I SAY GRANT, what are all those red spots for? Forward & Reverse indicators? I Brake for Blondes indicator? Looks complicated.
