On the way home today I saw a sign 'Cheapscapes Lawnscape YOUR paying to much!'

What amazes me is they were professional printed signs, how did they not catch either of them?

their
in the way you used it your refering to a place or location of an item..
thus they r making fun of u!
lol spell check doesnt catch things like this because you spelled the word right, you just used it wrong. i only know because my english comp teacher had a 2 hour lecture on this, leaving it burned into my skull!!!

Ok not a Scion question but related to this thread. What about powder coating an air cooled motorcycle motor? I ask because my friend is having this done now and after reading this kinda wondering.

Depends a lot on the materials and quality of workmanship I guess. Every painted/powdercoated surface will eventually wear if not meticulously maintained. I say as long as he doesn't go shooting a water hose at the hot motor, the coating should last a bit.
