Red Bull F1 Car at Harper Infiniti

I've seen the Williams BMW F1, but never a championship winning car:
"Harper Infiniti is pleased to announce that the Red Bull Formula 1 World Championship winning race car, sponsored by Infiniti, will be on display Saturday February 4th. at Harper Infiniti, 9737 Kingston Pike.
The Red Bull Formula 1 Team has won the last two Formula 1 World Championships for both constructors and drivers. The car will be on display all day and everyone is invited to come to Harper Infiniti to see this rare racer. Enjoy free refreshments served in the showroom and register for free door prizes to be given away."

Knock, Knock

I was thinking I needed one of these Star Trek style door chimes.



 But maybe I really should try this project.

 

The Hunger Games Movie

Another Harry Potter type story... I'm a little iffy on the selection of actors, but I want to see it anyway.

My 5 Most Wanted

Playing along with everyone... What 5 firearms would I purchase, should price nor practicality be an issue?

1. Smith & Wesson M&P 9
2. Glock 19
3. An AR-15
4. A Shotgun
5. Maybe a .308

See, being new to the game means a lot of my desires are both "practical" and not priced in such a way that I will never get them.

Man accidentally shoots himself in the hand at Gun Show

1. I've said it is like the four rules are suspended when you go to a gun show. It freaks me out.

2. I predict Uncle will post about this and say "Stop touching it."

Insult?

If I was being paid millions to play the game, I would feel bad for just a second, but then I would get over it.
