 HUMOR ?  

 
One day a mom noticed that when her son was logging onto a favorite website he typed a very long password. She asked him what it was, and he replied, "MickeyMinnieGoofyPluto." She asked him why he would use such a password. "Because," he explained, "it says your password has to have at least four characters."    

"That's part of the problem," the mechanic said. "You need to lift the radiator cap and drive another car under it. Then you can replace the radiator cap, and it should solve your problem."

------------------------ 

A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his shop.

The surgeon was there waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey, Doc, can I ask you a question?"

The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag. "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take the valves out, repair any damage, and then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I get such a small salary and you get the really big bucks, when you and I are doing basically the same work?"

The surgeon paused, smiled, leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic...

"Try doing it with the engine running"

 Meet The Celebrities! 

Courtney Hansen

Best known for her role as the host of Spike TV's "Powerblock", it seems Courtney was born to talk about cars. Each week she shows off million-dollar rides, rare classics and tricked vehicles, and brings her love and knowledge of everything automotive to interviews with celebrity collectors and enthusiasts like Jay Leno, UFC President Dana White, and automotive legends like Mario Andretti and Daryl Waltrip. In addition to "Powerblock", Courtney is also the current host for NASCAR.com, where she interviews top drivers and discusses the latest in automotive technology, and recently hosted the Velocity Channel series, "Vinsetta Garage".

The middle of three children, Courtney literally grew up on a race track: her father, Jerry Hansen, is heralded as the winningest-driver in SCCA history, with an astounding 27 national titles and once owned Minnesota's Brainerd International Raceway near Hansen's hometown of Orono, MN.

While in Building A, be sure to stop by and say hi to this stunning car-whiz.



"Duck Dynasty's" Mountain Man

Saturday and Sunday you have the opportunity to meet Mountain Man of A&E's hit TV show, Duck Dynasty. Despite his flourishing role on A&E, his 25 year Louisiana residency has made Mountain Man the go-to air conditioning guy in his hometown, where he also hosts a local radio show. In spite of his success, Mountain Man defines himself as a man of God, strongly rooted in the Christian faith. As the Robertson family's trusty air-conditioning fixer, hunting buddy and partner in Christ, Mountain Man has developed a close relationship with the similarly down-to-earth family. He also gives speeches all over the country, where he speaks against bullying and drug use and encourages young individuals to make decisions they are proud of. Ultimately, Mountain Man's happiness and purpose in life centers on his Christian faith and using his ability to reach the public to share the word of God.  

In addition to signing autographs, Mountain Man will also conduct the church ceremony Sunday morning at 10:30 am. Stop by to hear his message!

Our guarantee: if these aren't the best products you've ever used, give me a call and I'll personally buy them back - is unmatched in the industry.

BUILDER OF THE YEAR 

 Inspired as a teen by car legends Barris, Bailon and Winfield, John D'Agostino has a similar arsenal of accomplishments that make him one of the greats.  

Winning his first title in 1970 at the Oakland and sporting his trademark chrome wire wheels, D'Agostino is a regular in the winner's circle. From the "Sam Barris Award," "Goodguys Custom D'Elegance" to the "World's Most Beautiful Custom," these are just a few of D'Agostino's achievements.
