Default Header install Humor


So a friend of mine put the set of manikin legs in the trunk of my car as a joke.... I threw them in the warehouse of my business and forgot about them.

My son and I are upgrading our 68 Vette over the winter. 5-speen Tremec, Headers/pipes, Shocks and a few other things.
I came into work today and found this.
I realize this is not a tech issue and I hope all see it as the light hearted humor I saw.

Funny how women's legs get prettier in direct proportion to the distance between their knees...

It looks like the feet ( or at least the boots) are backwards. My OCD won't let me find this amusing.

That is what I mentioned in POST#2. Boots seem to be on the wrong feet.

I can still appreciate the humor in this.

Take her to a car show and toss her under the mid point of the chassis.
Then see how many take a second look under your car.
