It was a spare bumper cover that I had for a project car that I no longer have.Well one day I had a brain fart,I came up with this.I cut out a section out of it and put in one of those scroll signs,you usually see them in bars.I had previously programmed the sign with differnt things involving Camaros and it was hung over a diecast car display case but it is now where you see in the pic.[B]EDIT:Oh and also there is a fluorescent light fixture behind that scroll sign.

Hey 91Z. I used to have two Oscars in a 55 gallon also, til they died. I had them about 10 years. I loved them fish. Back to presents. Got a Meguiars detaling kit from sis, grand from parents, and got my wife a new digital camera( that's for me too, now I can start posting pics) Sound like eveybody had a great Christmas, but lets not forget, its not all about the gifts. Lets give thanks for loved ones here and no longer with us.

trying to be a smarta$$ or something? Right now the tank size is just fine(biggest fish is 7 inches long) but towards the the end of next year or in '04 they will need a 90 or a 110 gallon tank.By then they all should be at their 10-13 inch full length size.

Sorry to hear that about the fish and I agree with that last sentence,my grandfather(my dad's dad) died in March at the age of 92 of prostate cancer.He will be missed but at least he had a full life and is now with my grandma.

Nope. Smarta$$ would be an improvement in my title but based on my fall semester grades - I have been reduced to a dumba$$. I was just comenting that those were some big A$$ fish. I only see small fishes in tanks that size. The fish look lonely in there - maybe you should leave some issues of Car n Driver in the tank so the fish can entertain themselves.


I never had fish so I don't no anything about them. I only like to eat and fish them. I could see getting a piranah as pet, like the ones in South America. Those little guys ate a whole cow in less than 24 hours. They can furosious in the wild.

The tank is about 4feet long by 12 inches deep which is presently ok for them,but not what they actually need.I was going to get next month a 75 or a 90 gallon but they surprised me with this.Oh well,I can't complain.

Sounds good. I'm sure the fish have enough room to lift weights and kickbox.

I got some Meguire's soap and wheel cleaner, a California Water Blade, and $300 to buy a new headliner.

Also this nice cop in Tallahassee gave me a ticket and lowered my speed on it so I would only have to pay $58 instead of $158. Still sucks though cause my insurance will now be over $2000 a year, just on the RS!!!
