Today’s Friday Fun post is provided to us from the good guys over at Autoblog.  A Chinese trucker recently lost his windshield, but due to his finances, couldn’t afford to have it fixed or get behind on his route.

So he did what any industrious person would do, he replaced it with cardboard, continued to drive his route (almost 500 miles) happy labrador style.

The thought heading into this weekend is this:  What is the craziest fix you’ve ever seen, or done yourself?  Yes, this is an excellent opportunity to get your service guys involved on the DrivingSales Friday Fun.

Have a great weekend and continued Happy Holiday season!

It’s Friday, so you all know what that means.  No, not another piece of information we didn’t yet know about the Tiger Woods situation begin released.  It’s time for Friday Fun Post.

Today, I thought I would give everyone some examples of the joker-like faces of Facebook.

First the good: http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/11/12/facebook.alibi/index.html Unfortunately, this could open Pandora’s box for all criminals.  But still a nice story for now.

Then the bad:  http://jalopnik.com/5416549/daughter-of-resigned-gm-ceo-attacks-new-gm-ceo-on-facebook?skyline=true&s=i  I’m guessing that Fritz’s daughter was a bit mad.  Know how you can tell (well, other than the multiple F-bombs being dropped)?  She TYPED EVERYTHING IN ALL CAPS! 

Enjoy the weekend everybody!

Seeing as this is the Thanksgiving holiday, and I won’t be around for the next two days to dole my usual Friday fun, I thought I would do a little early fun.

Check out this website for humorous car stories.  Then add one of your own in the comments.   We all have a humorous story that started our fascination with the four-wheeled transportation we all love.

Also, on behalf of myself and OneCommand, we wish all you here in the Driving Sales community a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving Day holiday.  May it be restful and peaceful for you all.

Take care!

Time again for another edition of Friday Fun Post.  I thought with the upcoming holiday, I would go with a Thanksgiving theme to the Fun Post.  Then I got to looking around the ‘ol net and discovered that a lot of Thanksgiving themed writing is crap.  So much like the usuable metal from cars turned in at C4C time, I scrapped that idea.

Instead, I thought it might be fun to take a look at what goes ON cars, instead of the cars themselves.  I found an interesting little site, StickerGiant, which lists/sells top humorous bumper stickers.

Some of my favorites:

Mudflap Man
Don’t Steal
Shut Up Hippy!
Flying Monkeys
Short Bus

There are a few more I’m fond of, but they just are not appropriate for this site, especially at holiday time!

So what are some of the best bumper stickers you’ve ever seen?  And  you can even include whether you thought the owner was damaging his car by placing the sticker on it in the first place.  There have been some that have left me walking away shaking my head.

Take care.

I’m back for the regular fun post timing.  Got three for you all to get your weekend off on the right humourous note.

Toyota is taking “green” to a whole new level.

Juan Pablo Montonya answers the derogatory comment made by Bob Griese about him last weekend.  He tweeted from his lunch.  Yep, tacos were prominently involved.

And finally, UK writer Brian Milton sent a copy of his new book to the guys at Top Gear challenging them to re-create his 1968 feat.  (Hint:  it involves an Austin 7 Ruby and a certain famous desert)

Make it a terrific Halloween weekend!
