I get a ton of gift cards every Christmas and I’m sure you do too. The problem is that the country is sitting in the middle of a recession, and it’s not a surprise that a lot of stores selling gift cards will file for bankruptcy. Don’t get caught with gift cards that are worth less than your toilet paper!

You’d better watch out: Gift cards can be lumps of coal
I just got out of the worst traffic ever. Usually my drive to work is pretty clear and the stretch of freeway that usually takes me about 10 minutes took me one hour today.
Here’s what I sat in for about an hour.
This is the cause of all the traffic – an overturned truck that blocked the whole freeway. Radio said it won’t be clear until mid afternoon since they have to unload all the cargo before picking the truck back up. SUCKS!
Luckily I was driving the G35 today so it wasn’t too bad chilling in the car.
This video was taken from Rob’s blog… but man it’s so awesome I HAD to post it!!

This list makes me want to eat!! I’m dying for some different places to eat and I’ve been to only a few of the restaurants on this list. Who wants to go get fat with me?
When you do an engine swap, you pop the engine out and put the new one in…
When you do a chassis swap, you pop off the chassis and put the new one on top! Or at least that’s how they do it in the UK!
Here are some pictures of my good ol’ chap Perry from the UK:
And this is his brand new trunk from Toyota! Bling bling!
Toodles!
Just in time for SEMA!
This is the site I’ve been working on for the past 3 months… It has its own content management system, so the client can login and update the news and various sections of the website on their own. They can also update the wheel charts on their own and manage their list of dealers.
Also check out the nifty dealer locator. That took me tons of time – I had to write it myself!!
Here’s a bit of trivia:
Did you know that there is no rhyme or reason for a zipcode being in a certain location? 91792 is NOT guaranteed to be neighbors with 91793… in fact it can be hundreds of miles away.
So how do you find the distance from your zipcode to the nearest dealer? You have to know longitude and latitude coordinates for every zipcode in the United States. Finding that kind of (free) data was really hard… and was only the tip of the iceberg!
