POLAR BEAR RUN ANYONE?
:shock: In my nine years in Madison, I managed to avoid the polar bear run, every year. My good friends and lifetime residents all tried very hard to get me to do it, for once there was not enough alcohol in WI to make me! I watched several of them, and these friends did it every year. Other than this, they were normal and relatively intelligent! :shock: :lol:

As for cold, it hit +15 here in Winston-Salem this morning, about 20 degress below normal! I no likey.

As for the topic at hand, there are some pretty neat, and cheap, Nissan and Datsun clocks and signs etc, on E-bay that are always fun to dress up the garage a bit!

I was looking on cafepress.com for a specific shirt I had seen advertised on evilbay. While I didn’t find the exact shirt I was looking for, I did see these two cool things:

Although the couple items I have already bought from cafepress.com have been cheaper in quality. I love this shirt:

Got my 12 volt electric blanket from JC Whitney. Really like it. Has a timer, it's a nice size, gets warm but not hot.

It's still on sale and also free shipping.( a frequent addition from JCW)

You guys are missing the obvious. How about a year's membership to AAA. It's nice to be able to get a tow for your buddy when his MG craps out on a drive.

What a great video game! You can pretend you're in the back seat of '63 while someone else plays the game. Excellent!
'68 1600 (very slowly coming back to life)
'69 2000 ("She's dead, Jim!" no engine, trans, floor, interior, top, etc. ... , but she does have the Datsun emblem on the hood so that's something)

It sold for $1000.00, a bit steep, but hell of a game. I was fixing mine so it's working for Christmas dinner, and the dog thought it was time for a ride in the car and climbed in. He doesn't realize how big he is, 70 pound Aussie shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix (Murray). Basset Hound looked up from the couch, rolled her eyes at him and went back to sleep.
Put the part in tonight, set up the High Tech 80's software and then spent an hour driving it :D :D

My parents asked me what I wanted, I asked for a fire extinguisher I could mount to the roll bar.
