Now, I'm all into tuning my car and trying to get the best of it, but I must say that I just saw the greatest act of tuning ever. The guy, I forget his name...Sandra Bullocks husband of six months so my wife says (if I put up with her comments like that, I can watch my shows at the same time). Anyway, he turned a car into a plane, and then flew it. It worked, and they said that with more horsepower, it could actually stay up for longer and perhaps even circle the airport.

So my mind started thinking turbo. This is the point that you guys all have my mind to. haha, I love it.

Anyway, it was a pretty cool show. Try and find a way to see it if you missed it.

yep, Jesse James.

LOL rob you need to get out of the house.

I have been researching on thrust-powered bikes for the past few weeks. THOSE are amazing.

yeah, I had to stay home last night because I've got some stitches in my eyebrow that I need to soak the wound of in order for the dr to be able to find the stitches today and take them out.

Hockey Injury...got hit in the eye with the handle of a stick, the wound is something to be proud of.

[KeWLKaT]

nice!

you are now OFFICIALLY a canadian.

Part one of your "initiation"

If only the canadian gov't was that easy to please. I got charged 450 for asking a nurse at the ER for help, and 50 for seeing the dr.

The doctor was with me for 3 minutes. 1.5 to ask me the same questions as the nurse, and 1.5 to stitch it up so roughly that my wife cried when she was watching...apparently.

Needless to say, I drove over the sidewalk (not a big drop or anything, and did it slowly) and didn't pay the $5 for parking after finding out how much it cost to wait in the ER for 6 hours.

And so this post has something about this thread in it. I actually don't mind that show too much. He's made a steam powered boat, and he took an old impala into a jail in Cali once and had inmates rebuild it with him. He's a creative guy, that Jesse James.

wow...what hospital was this at? I went to Grand River after chopping part of my thumb off, and didn't have to pay anything. Waited 4 hours to get 30 stitches though...would have paid 450 to get in there a little earlier though!

I went to St. Mary's. If you want to know why it cost so much (4 stitches in my eyelid), then take a look at this thread Immigration (http://www.elantraxd.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11843&highlight=immigration)

Where do you live?

Man get your papers fast so you can cut any limb you want and get it stitched up for free!!!!

[robs02elantra]

Yeah, way off topic now, but I started it so I don't really care...

It's to the point now that once I got the bill for it, now if anything comes near my head, I get really jumpy. I'm scared walking down the street now, knowing that any small thing could cost me 500 dollars.

Could you imagine having three seperate accidents in one week, which is entirely possible in Canada playing hockey in the winter. That's 1500 dollars. Takes a chunk out of the modding budget.

Well I'm glad I'm not in your situation but I do feel really bad for you.

I guess that's what you get for playing our national sport, you poser :P

haha, of course, you know i was kidding :)

good luck though, keep us posted on the situation

gotcha...don't follow much of the forum since it switched formats years ago. never had an elantra either!

I'm in Waterloo too...west end.

Don't feel too bad about being afraid of hockey sticks...it takes a while to get over the fear. 8 months later, and I still don't want to touch my scar.
