It reminds me of a story. At at Police Department in Idaho, I won't mention the name, they were demo-riding two BMW Police Motors, donated by BMW. Most of the officers liked them but when a Lt. came outside one day and was looking them over, one of the motor officers asks him his impression. The Lt. responded, "they look too European". (This is a true story) Well Duh![screwy]

This one time, I got stamps at the post office from one of those machines, used a 20 and got a lot of dollar coins. I decided to use the change to get gas. Filled up, went in to pay and the lady tried to tell me I could only use legal tender [?|] [?|] I'm like listen, this IS legal tender. You have to take it becuase it is legal money! She was like "well, I've never seen one"

Manager comes over and says "Do you have anything else to pay with? I dont think we are allowed to take these."

So i'm standing there thinking, WTF...and a police officer was behind me in line (it's a gas station that has the whole made to order food thing...the name of it is sheetz..bear knows what it is) and told the lady that it is legal tender and that they have to take it.

Sheetz is so much better than Wawa. I can't believe they wouldn't take the dollars, though. Do they think you minted them in your backyard? I don't know about you, but I have gold bullion lying around all over in my house. [confused]

Heh i know. I like wawa's subs more, but everything else about sheetz is better.

You ever get their hotdogs with nacho cheese? Mmm... I also like their bavarian ham sandwiches (the ones on pretzles) or whatever they are called.

It drives me wild when places say, "NO BILLS OVER $20 PLEASE" or "NO BILLS OVER $50 PLEASE", sometimes without the please. I see a lot of McDonald's with the $20 request. For each of these vendors or places with these stupid signs, I just have to say one thing: Money is money, I'm giving you my business, now shut the f*ck up, take it, and give me my change.

Reminds me of an encounter one of my NSX buddies had with a cop. Got pulled over for being the most aggressive looking car of the caravan (JGTC wing, Marga Hills side skirts), after somebody complained about a lot of imports going very fast on the freeway.

The cop detained him for a good half hour checking over every bit of the car for illegal parts, of which there were basically none. The funniest part of it was that he insisted my friend had illegally moved the engine from the front of the car to the middle for increased performance. How you can fit the engine in the front of an NSX is beyond me. Not a lot of room in there.

Ended up giving him a warning for no front license plate once he realized my friend's video camera was recording it.

What a moron.

If you had a 318ti, that would not be a bad way to put the BMW V12 in there. Make a BMW version of the Shogun or Renault Clio, to name a few FWD econo-hatches that were transformed with the transplant of a real engine where the rear seats used to be.

An old joke:

A lady, not at all mechanically inclined, got into her VW Bug and it wouldn't start. Confused, she open the front and exclaimed "Oh my God! Someone stole my engine!"

Another lady, also a VW Bug driver who happened to be parked nearby, called her over. She opened the rear of her car and said "That's OK. I just happen to have a spare engine in my trunk!" [:D]
