If anyone was watching the Vikings vs. Cowboys game on Sunday you might (though I highly highly doubt it) noticed me in my Cars R Coffins t-shirt in the end zone when Randy Moss jumped into the stands.

My roommates tevo'd it for me so here is a photo I took of the tv. And yeah that is my girlfriend yellin at me to stop taking photos and to get out of her way from national attention as well :D

Scott,

You need to make sure that Hurl gets a copy of that photo, or an even better one if a digital capture from the Tivo unit is possible.

I rode with him Sat evening and I know he would be interested in seeing/using it.

My girlfriend and I were looking good riding in on matching old school 3 spd Raleigh's made in England :) Road right on up to Gate B and locked em up and was inside. No gas to burn, no 20 dollar parking and rush hour traffic was absolutely no problem.

James,

My friend Andy called to tell me it was actually in the Star Tribune. Page 1, above the fold (I haven't seen it yet). I bet he could contact them for a photo reprint if he wanted a really nice quality one.

Somehow Cars R Coffins is well known around the country. Any shop I have been to when I am in another city always say's "That's Cars R Coffins territory" when I tell them where I am from. They also mention QBP of course.

I was surprised when I was in Aspen wearing my CRC shirt how many people knew what it was. How do you do it Hurl???

This is kind of funny. I wear mine when I am driving, which makes me a CRC poser.

What is even funnier is when I wore it to Red Rooster buying parts for my Honda. Yeah, they kinda looked at me funny.

Just because you drive, does not mean CRC doesn't make a statement. Now if I drove an H2 and wore a CRC shirt............that would be a different story.

I still need to get across the stupid river, then I can commute to work again........does Hurl plan to make pontoon tires any time soon???.....:)

Of course - I was kidding! I 'll hand it to Scott though - he was actually up for the challenge.

My current excuse for being seen behind the wheel is that my arm is in a sling!

Scott you are a Tv icon. I saw you on a replay last night! I've never had beers with a celeb. before! Hey i was wondering, if the coffins t-shirt kept Randy M. from jumping up in your direction or the lack of purple and horns? :cool:

I don't know....is it safer to drive with your arm in a sling???......that could be questionable....:p

I wore my CRC shirt while working in Detroit (at an agency that does alot of automotive work) - those who got it weren't too appreciative. You'd think I was taking food out of their mouths.

The mindset about bikes as transportation in that town is non-existent. Only saw one commuter in a two-month stretch.

There's a reason it's called Motor Town USA, or Motown for short.... birthplace and home of the american coffin, err.. car.
