i hear that; someone stole our license plates right off our car as it was parked in our driveway.

and yes i know i mis spelled "you're"; i was typing it as i went out the door and wanted to be funny. give me a break, i have an English degree! i've got to slip up some time!

CR2032s are used in almost every computer system in existence. When I worked at a computer shop, doing repairs, I'd throw away hundreds of those things; don't pay more than $0.10 for one...

Energizers? Where? I know they're used for keeping the CMOS fresh but the ones that come OEM aren't exactly uBar.

I_bRAD 11-16-07 07:52 AM

kergin- where do we get them for 10 cents? That sounds like a deal I could go for!

Let 'er have it!!!

cavit8 11-16-07 09:15 AM

ooo, that's nasty. I wonder if she knows the officer who's husband was run over from behind by that truck and trailer earlier this year.

jeremywhitehorn 11-16-07 10:32 AM

crazy - did you get her badge number?

Flimflam 11-16-07 11:11 AM

Wow, that's nuts... *****y officer!

I'm not going to the CT auction afterall, last couple days with the family takes the reigns.

Almost got catapulted yesterday, heading across an intersection (King/Tecumseth or Niagara) and I was taking the right lane of King - some pillock decided it was fun to try and thrash from the left lane (he was in the middle of the intersection still, traffic was backed up) and come into me and my lane. Not sure how close, the cyclist behind me commented it was close - probably a couple inches spare though - he got a very shocked "HEY!" but I carried on, didn't see the point in stopping to yell at someone to use their mirrors - doubt it'd change anything.

lol hell's yeah :D

i didn't get the actual badge #, but i got a clear shot of the plate. i only had my crappy cell phone, so you can't see that much detail through the windshield.

bad enough when a driver doesn't know the rules of the road... but when it's "i've got a badge get outta my way" it just goes to another level!

jet sanchEz 11-16-07 11:46 AM

Damn, that sucks, like the cops need another black eye. I like most cops that I have met but you have to admit that it is a certain personality-type that ends up being a police officer....

Danhalen 11-16-07 12:03 PM

Zippered, that's bull****! Stick it to the (wo)man!

Keith sorry I wasn't able to come in yesterday as I said I would. Can I pick up my wheel later this afternoon mayhaps?

The flip side to the officer coin:

Going home last night two bike police have boxed in Mr. Tuner Honda at King/Yonge and are crawling over the car with a measuring tape. Carbon hood, Maxwell House coffee can exhaust, custom BRIGHT head lights. Now with the limit +50kph car seizure, if he was doing 90 in the core (which isn't beyond the imagination)...CYA!!
