Sad thing is, the first thing the owner probably thought was "Damn, I just filled up this morning".
But the pics were taken at 10:20, so the tank would have probably been close to empty by then ;)

Thats the great thing about physics. You can miss a few centuries and not miss much  :) Yea I know - relativity - its a flash in the pan.

There was a great line in that sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" where the girl asks the nerd " So, what's new in physics?"

He looks around blankly - " Nothing."

Dont think so Repoman, but maybe that's your belief though.

Yeah I love that show too. I get most of the jokes..........does that make me a nerd?  If so I'm a failed nerd because I never went to college :cry

As for the lightning strike on the jeep. How unlucky is that? Does the insurance cover you for 'acts of God'.

We had a lightning storm (rare) here yesterday. One simultaneous flash/bang made my wife scream and me jump. I think it hit a nearby tower crane on a construction site.

This happened yesterday here in Dallas. So much for being safe in your car.





Just curious.   

I notice two troubling things about the Jeep.   

1.)  It appears to have 18" wheels on it.   
2.)  If one of the said "tires" go, then what good will the stock spare do for them?

I've never understood this at all and never will.    Not to mention putting that crap on it to make it a mallcrawler.

Just be glad nobody was hit. Electrical burns travel circuitous routes through the body, usually beneath the surface, making it really hard for doctors to treat them. (i.e.  BUMP :D)
