I mean, I was, but the lights were on and nobody was home. I was lost in la-la-engineblockland. The lady said again "SIR, can I help you?" and I snapped to, but all I could do was point to the picture of the taquitos and mumble something about sour cream. I got my order, and ran outside. I jumped in my jeep, heard pounding, mind racing, and inhaled a taquito. I looked around to see who was watching. 2 girls in a taurus. **** em. I pulled my jeep out, and drove to the dumpster on the other side of my bushes. I got out, and looked around some more. Everything was slow mo to me but I KNOW I was going a trillion miles a minute. I ran to the back of my jeep, and looked around some more for good measure. I picked this thing up, tossed it in the back, and then tore *** out of there as fast as I could. What a rush.

well arent you jsut a regular ol 007?

I would probably buy them. I like **** like that.


Wine rack FTW. Hell, get a cooling element to stick into the block and chill the aluminum. Then you can keep the bottles cool with the cold aluminum.

Anyone making a wine rack out of an engine block is probably not sophisticated enough to drink wine. At least not out of a bottle. That's what box wine is made for.

MAKE A BEER RACK OUT OF IT.

oh, but then again, there'd only be 8 beers and that's hardly enough for a minor tune up.

My bro-in-law works for GM r&d. They throw away stuff like that all the time. Usually it's real parts, however they have to "destroy" everything before it goes in the trash. That usually entails drilling holes in a block or rear end.. etc.

When I worked at GM last fall I got to talk to one of the guys doing the new hybrid tahoe. He told me the same thing, that they will spend like 10-15 grand for a prototype electric PS pump then have to destroy it once the R&D is over. Sucks too. That plant had leftover GMT-800 electric fans, about 400 of them, sitting on big metal racks waiting to be destroyed.. These are the electric fans us truck guys pay 250 for on ebay lol.
