but the really funny thing about this pic is youll notice that all four clock leds are lit up (i just took this pic), well, the two leds on the right side of the clock have NEVER worked, now alll of a suddent they work for this photo shoot.

oh, that reminds me...
on my winter steelies, i used the napa belkamp grease cups as axle covers (center caps), and they rusted and/or fell/flew off within weeks.
I remember one was really fun to watch, I was making a hard right on an onramp, and one of the center caps just took off rolling on my original vector, thru the weeds, and nailed the highway sign before hitting the ground. left a nice dent in the sign.

oh, wait! my amp rack...
i'll get a pic up soon, (my server is down at the moment), but my amp is mounted to the top of my speaker box in the back. I was in a hurry for a show, and wanted to light it from underneath, but couldn't find anything thick and opaque enough.
I went to wal-mart, bought an opaque plastic cutting board, sawed one of the ends off, mounted the amp to the top, the cathodes underneath, and flushed that contraption onto my speaker box.
was gonna fix it (use some real acrylic) but only one person ever noticed what it really was.

Thanks, I think 
No walmart finds on the flame thrower, but I haven't given up yet.
Like the jump to conclusions mat,? Samir: "Yes. Yes, it's horrible, this idea."

I think the most ghetto thing of all time that my box has seen were the cheapo $20 'puddle lights' (not naming any names)...
The first set filled with water after one storm. the second set did the same, even though they were free. not to mention that no matter what i did, they hung down like pig nipples.
I ripped them off, and 'invented' my own for about $80. a bit more expensive, but clean as hell.

ghetto mod #3(i already posted this elsewhere, but ill do it again): When doing the headlight blackout mod, i accidently used some high powered tape to mask off the reflective portion of the headlight, so when i peeled it off, the reflective material came with it (as noted by the white portion in the pic) 
i have no idia how im gonna fix this 
And yes, this looks ghetto. luckily its hard to notice unless you looking directly into the headlight
