Although you're gonna need more than the 4 square inches of windshield you have now.

I have four motorcycles: two BMW's, one runs, one's a basket
two Ducati's, one runs, one's a basket
I have four Land Cruisers: two FJ60's, one runs, one's a basket
two pigs, one runs, one's a basket

the water heater that went out last September? still laying behind my back door on it's side, ask Chef.

I was born on the same farm my Dad was. I believe that whiskey is only made from corn. first time I got drunk was Pabst Blue Ribbon.

But, I'm pretty sure that knowing what desmodromic means, means I'll never be white trash no matter how hard I try! I am grateful for every minute I spend with you idjits, though...

Steve,

Not really. I did a search on the AOL dictionary and it says the word don't exist. If your using big words that ain't even real .... you mite qualify. If you know real words that the computer don't even know ... you're out.

Well several months ago I replaced a tolet in our house (or years..can't remeber) - it it still stitting on the back porch, the wife put some flowers in it, and she is now thinking about moving out front if I don't get rid of it.


Also currently have several meat smokers and BBQ grills all rusted in the back yard - but the rust gives the meat a nice flavor!!


I assume I must send a case of beer in with my application!

Cruiser parts being stored in the family room in the basement
The wife's car sits outside while boths 40's are in pieces on the garage floor
I have 3 times as many transmissions & transfer cases then I have vehicles
I have 3 more cars parked out front then people in the house to drive them
It's taken two summers to paint the trim on the house and it's still two differnet colors
I've been on TV describing what the tornado sounded like
I got escorted out of the state of Texas by the DPS for crossing the state line at a buck-30 in a Camaro (it's was either that or go to jail in Gainsville)
My 40 got painted after a case Shiner and my buddies found the Krylon

"crossing the state line at a buck-30 in a Camaro"

Kowpie, wouldn't you say Mike automatically qualifies on account of operation of a trailer-park Ferrari?

Perhaps.

But the real significant fact here is that we just developed our first two-page thread on our little forum.

By Gawd I swear it brings me a tear of joy.

Well, I've got a Fj62 that hasn't moved since Moab of last year with a drain pan full of ATF sitting under it, a spare FJ40 wheel n tire being used as a wheel chock to keep it from rolling down into the street and a set of vise grips keeping a leaking gas hose from dripping all over the driveway and spilling that gawd awful expensive petrol out..
The tcase is sitting in the garage cause it's been too cold to go work on it and it dont' rightly fit in da garage anymore unless I pull the valvestems out and roll it in on the rims..

My FJ40 has moved to it's third garage and still won't move under it's own power since Moab 02! Dang rod bearing tried to move to the outside of the motor! Been trailered to each shop.. I just cut off all the bodywork that i bent last time I laid it over on it's sides cause I didn't want to bother and fix it.. I drove my FJ40 home from moab one year with a hose coming off the PCV valve and thru the hood aimed down the side of the truck. This was to help cause the blowby on the engine was so severe that it made a better aircompressor than it did an engine.. Oil was sprayed all down the side of the rig on the way home but she drove under her own power the whole way home!
I painted my FJ40 with Rustoleum cause it was as close to the real color I wanted to get.. My drivers seat in the FJ40 wiggles cause the floor is rusted out.. I have more money in the axles, gearboxes and tires than the whole truck's worth!
I have LandCruiser parts in the kitchen, Living room, dining room, basement, bedroom, driveway, backyard, all this can be verified by Chef and Sherpa!
My M416 military trailer has a flat and I keep it on the back patio.. THe fender makes a good beer mount when bbq'ing..
I've used the winch on my truck to pull shrubs in the yard..
I spend more on Cruiserparts than I do on living expenses..
I've had Kowboy swing by on the way to the black Hills and have a full blown yard sale in my front yard! Unloaded springs, steering stuff, sm420, driveshafts, tires/rims, skidplate etc..
I've been forced to wheel with Kowboy as his shotgun cause my junk burned as much oil as gas..

? Do I qualify?
