Wasn't there a picture of a UPS and a Fed Ex truck that had been in an accident? What happened to it? I wanted to put that as my backround in windows.
Thanks
David

I think I may have saved that picture on my computer, still don't have the courage to turn it back on though. The power spiked several times and it kept trying to start itself. !! I ran down to the basement and started throwing breakers....

Bumble bees work better. We put fireflies on the tails for the strobe.

I first saw this last year on ebaumsworld.com.... my college roommates and I used wasps to do this. Take a popsicle.... set it in a cup and leave it out in the hot weather. The damn wasps will soon come to suck up the sugar. Then cover up the cup and put it in the freezer. Come back 5 minutes later and the wasps should be "tired". Quickly put a drop of super glue and TADA!!!!!! Works best with 2 wasps on each wing. Be careful as those "mofo's" are pi$$ed

If it's a Fiat it's a 124, but I'm pretty sure it's actually a Lada.

For reasons unknown, Fiat cut a deal with the Soviet Union to build an entire factory in the S.U., which built a city around it named after an Italian communist who died in the resistance, Togliattigrad. This was in the early '70's, I believe, and resulted in the Lada, which was basically a Russian-built Fiat 124 down to every nut and bolt. Fiat evolved into new models, but Lada just kept on building 124's forever (still do it, for all I know). A few were even imported into the US for a year or two in the late 70's/early '80's, I remember reading a Car & Driver review of one.

In the mid-90's, you could see Lada's all over central and eastern Europe. The one in the picture looks pretty beat up (typical for the region), and the number plate looks like a Slovak or Croatian plate. I'm sure Piotr saw his share of these growing up, along with E. German Trabants, Czech Skodas, and Romanian Dacias (a mid-70's Renault deal similar to the Lada/Fiat arrangement).
