So take a lesson from the boys at Top Gear and re-think the “man love” paint job if you are driving in the South.

We are surprised that this is new. Many, many times at the old drinkin’ spot we have been known to pee on just about anything – a tree, the tires, even Jesse’s leg on occassion. So the “researcher” that downed a six pack of Natty Light and took a piss in his gas tank is not a groundbreaker – he was just really hammered. I hope he didn’t drive home because that would be bad (our little PSA).

We think that this will become an internet hit – kinda like Diet Coke and Menthos – but with better results for your truck. Can you imagine the results? We could be rockin’ down the highway (stopping at reststops to drink because there are laws against open containers – our second PSA) and when we needed to wizz, into the gas tank it goes. Gas Stations will be out of business in no time! Or better yet, they would become Beer Stations! The gas pumps would be replaced by kegs!

Actual (imagined) recording of a cop with the state trooper hat and glasses  pulling over Cletus the Redneck:

Officer: Boy, have you been drinking?
Cletus: No officer, I been makin fuel for ma truuuck
Officer: Smells like you bin drinking.
Cletus: No suh, I will show you. Let me pee on your po-lice car.
Officer: Keep your dick in your pants boy, you is under arrest. Perverts like you gets theirs in jail.
Cletus: I ain’t no pervert. I loves my cousin, not boys. This is science – I read about it on Truckeo.com
Officer: Well, OK this time. If’n it was on Truckeo.com its got to be true.

So there you have it. We will be selling Urine Conversion kits soon and you can pee in your truck (on purpose this time) to fuel it. It will be awesome. I think I need to buy some Natty Light stock since that stuff makes urine faster than anything else.

All jokes aside  Jason Leonard of Lafayette, Indiana wasn’t joking when he discovered that  service technicians at Hampton Toyota were stealing his quarters, medication, and watching porn in his Toyota well being serviced. He first had suspicions of wrong doing going on when he first took his truck in to be serviced in 07, then again when he took it in a second time….after many attempts to complain and no results he decided to take matters in to his own hands and place a hidden camera in his truck to catch the thieves. What he discovered was not only were the service techs stealing his quarters, he also discovered the techs using racial slurs, and using company laptops to watch porno.  Along with the DVDs  he also sent in a letter with descriptions of what happens on the DVDs.

here is some great quotes from the letters

“I keep personal medication in it for emergencies. He then unscrews the vial, looks inside and smells the vial. Next, he pours them into his hand and inspects them. He then puts them back in the vial and then licks the pill dust from his hand”

-I like to think this was a wake up call  for this service tech who later got fired for this, but honestly we all know he is now a service tech in a different field if you get my drift,if you need any service he’s located behind the circle K and only charges 25 cents per job..

” He then opens the second compartment, takes out my CDs and inspects the compartment.”

-Jason must have crappy taste in music if the service tech who steals quarters and pills wont even take a second look at your music.

“The third guy is the computer technician. He connects the laptop to my truck, located under the steering wheel, and begins working on the laptop. At approximately 3:27 into the video, a male and female voice, is heard coming from the laptop. The audio from the laptop plays the following:
MALE: “I’m sitting here with Violet. How are you today Violet?”
FEMALE: “Pretty good.”
MALE: “You doing pretty good?”
FEMALE: “Yeah”
MALE: “So you’re gonna do some modeling for us today, huh?”
FEMALE: “Yeah”
MALE: “Yeah, nice. So I see you’re wearing a little see-through top. Not bad, nice. A little skirt.”
This audio, which is coming from the laptop, is obviously some type of pornographic video due to the language and context in which it was spoken, which is being accessed using the company’s laptop.”

-you never know this service tech might have being on lunch break, and rubbing one off was the only thing that keeps him from snapping like a twig under pressure…maybe if Jason had better pills, this guy wouldn’t have being so stressed out.

For the clear violation of Toyota code of conduct all three service techs were fired, and Jason was giving an apology and Hampton Toyota extended his service warranty. Since then Jason has removed the full length videos from youtube but kept up a few clips. so for your viewing pleasure I present to you Hampton Toyota at its finest.

Daimler (the old Dodge owner, remember?) just paid $50 Million for a 10% stake in the company and we all know how good their judgement was when it came to valuing the last car company they took ownership of. This valuation is at the low end, if you consider what Sharepost thinks the little electric car is worth. Speculation is running rampant about the intent of Daimler, but it is either not smart or not good if you ask me.

What kills me about this stupidity is that this is a car, and a new car company is building it. There is nothing really new here – an existing chassis, with existing battery technology, built by a company that doesnt know how to build cars and who doesnt have a dealer network.  How does this make it worth more than GM?

And of course the irony is – if Tesla built electric delivery trucks, not sexy sportscars then the valuation would be next to nothing.
