.... the Oldsmobile emblem from my tailgate. Any ideas?

Maybe a few of the auto parts websites. For starters http://www.partstrain.com has a lot of stuff---I can't remember what year or model your beastie is, but maybe they can help you out. I was thinking maybe JC Whitney too....good luck.
 
Are you seriously that worried about the emblem? No offense, but it's an Oldsmobile, not a BMW. Heck it's not even a BMX. Get a Transformers or Thundercats emblem from Spencers for $7.99 and be done with it.
 
to make a bumper sticker removable, get a magnetic sheet at a craft store, they usually come as a roll in a box and have adhesive on one side. you can stick a bumper sticker to it, cut the rest of the sheet away, and it will stick to your car magnetically. i had a friend who had to do that because her parents didn't want her to sticker up her car since they paid for it, and it's a very useful little tip.

i second, third, fourth what everyone said about the junkyard. and i understand why youre pissed. i drive a shitty mercury and i know i'd be sad if someone stole my emblem. it's not a fancy car, but it's my car, it's my baby!

amusingly it took me a while to realise that the roaring cats i saw on a lot of cars were the mercury cougar logo, not the thundercats logo!

(first is thundercats, second is cougar)
 
I loved that show as a kid... then I saw an episode a couple of years ago and couldn't believe how poorly animated it was.

A car doesn't need to be overpriced in order to have pride. BMW doesn't have a Rocket V8, now do they? Score one for Olds.

the same thing happened to me when i recently revisited "the last unicorn" for the first time since i was maybe 7. it was awful. in a way depressing, because it was so awesome when i was a kid.

OMG! I bought that for the girls because I soooo loved it, right? Awful! Horrible! At least the music was anyway. I still love schmendrick the magician and Mommy Fortuna but everyone else is awful.
The girls like it, though so I suppose that's all that matters. All the stuffed and plastic unicorns about this place are all referred to as "my last unicorn"....and we have a Ty beanie baby red bull that is the toy unicorn's antagonist :D

Wire it up so they get a really nasty shock when they touch it... just tell the cops when they find the body you're lousy at electrics and must have wired the alarm up wrong... :D

Hmmm... If you're using stupididty as your defense, how are you going to explain the capacitor to step the voltage up? ;)

you don't. You just crosswire the coil into the alarm circuit. Easy mistake.

There you go... Prof knows how to get out of a jam... *wonders if he's tried it*

Of course if bodies keep turning up then you'll have a problem... LOL

Hey auntie! Are english muffins really, um...english muffins? Because I don't remember them from my childhood. Admittedly, my mother is from NZ but the culture is very similar.
 
Yep, I love muffins, but i can't eat them anymore cos they're made with wheat flour. :(

I also love black forest gateaux, so I'm just adapting a recipe for chocolate cake, which is made with sugar, eggs and cocoa powder, a tin of morello cherry pie filling and greek ewes milk yogurt. :)
 
But are they these?

Not sweet, filled with nooks and crannies?

On his HEI, you'd have to remove the coil to do it though...

It'd probably work, but the cop might not believe he's that stupid. *insert chep shot of your choosing about Altron's relative intellect here*
 
Yeah, except -

My key is metal.
The lock is metal.
The lock is attached to the body.

So I'm not sure that elecritifiying it is the way to go.

If I ever park in a really bad neighborhood, I'm going to remove the wire rims and put them in the back. That's what's great about having steel wheels with nice rims on them.
