Ok, it's time for "Dodge Dummy of The Day"....today, we have this gem, seen today in Conroe, TX.

It's either a radar or a toilet flapper ram air system.

You decide:

That's what I thought too, Toilet Flapper Ram Air Induction.

I MUST have one of those. Wouldn't Jezebel look hot with one of those through her hood?

NOT!

I got a buddy down in Socal, he owns a few Ace Hardware stores and he been buying $400k houses for about $145,000 cash. think he has bought about four of them now.

Pops bought a pad in Hemet Ca, for I think it was $200k. new this house was $600k

I wish I was looking for a house to buy right now. good deals everywhere.

Ed, thats crazy house prices! 145k for a house now a days really isnt that much!

ya I know, I paid $345k for mine. Nothing very special 2050 sq feet on 1.1 acres. 3 bed, 2 3/4 bath. Every house I looked at when I was shopping for a house 4/5 years back was sold within a couple of days. You couldn't haggle or wait any amount of time. houses were selling like hotcakes.

not selling so fast right now, but our market is still alot better up here then in most of the country.

I mention that my ex had a black Percheron, and the BF says "she's black too".... but I'm looking at the horse and it's brown. Seriously. So I'm like "she looks brown to me. she's really black?" and all 3 girls are like "yes, she's black".... so I pull out my keys, because my remote for the truck alarm i KNOW is black. The horse is brown.

Sooo... this makes for an odd moment, and then the evening is a bit strained for a bit.

Her position: Why did I have to be "confrontational" and not just accept it?

Mine: Why, when my eyes are telling me brown and someone says black, would I know check/verify for my own knowledge?

Oh yeah... MUCH later, she tells me that horses color can get bleached out by the sun, and a black horse can look brown..... OK. Why not bring that little fact to light earlier??

So, was I an *** or would you have checked the color too? Or would you have just kept to yourself about it completely? Just curious...

How the heck would I know that??

Any single guys out there: if you want to see the girls you SHOULDN'T date, just hang with me.... crikey...
Id walk away from the situation. Only a precursor to whats to come IMO.

oh yea,


I got my BFG's mounted on the Jeep on Sat, also got a alignment done, just have to get fender flares in so I can install those. Measured the front bumper, very center of front bumper measures 27 in off the ground, so I'm legal.

so pound sand coppers.
