Unbelievable stroke of luck.... AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!

A couple weeks ago, I won my first pair of concert tickets off a radio station. Alter Bridge (Creed with a new lead singer) is playing the House of Blues here locally Sept 8th. Too bad I work that night, and I don't wanna take it off...

Well, a different local station here plays what they call the Furious 8 at 8, where they play the 8 most requested songs of the day at 8pm. I actually memorized all 8 songs, and was the 1st caller and then the winning 9th caller. The DJ asked for the # 4 song only, but for shits and giggles, I recited all 8 songs from memory. Now I have 4 tickets to my college's arena for Seether, one of my favorite all-time bands, and these are skybox seats! This Saturday.

Because of all this luck, I'm playing the FL lottery tonight! I might be a millionaire the next time I talk to you guys! 8) :D :mrgreen:

If you win the lottery, will you give me some money so I can get my car running well again?

Holy crap, I got 1 out of 6 numbers! I've never gotten any numbers!

Now it's time for me to start spending half my paycheck every week until I get 3 out of 6 numbers so I can get $5 back!! :D :D Yeah right, I usually only play when it's like $40 million...

Oh well, I at least got a couple hundred bucks worth of tickets!

That's awesome man! You should sell the tickets you can't use, and recoup your $5 that way. :) Then you totally come out ahead.

This is un-fucking-believable!!!

In the same manner that I won the first set of tickets (correctly identifying 4 songs) I just won 2 tickets to an event called Halloween Horror Nights that they have at Universal Studios Orlando! Tickets for this event are normally $60 a pop!!! I also won T-shirts and I'm qualified to win VIP passes worth $200 a piece!!!

I can't get laid to save my life, but I'm still the luckiest guy I know!!! :lol: :D

AGAIN!!!

Same station I won the Alter Bridge and Halloween Horror Nights tickets from, same contest, identify 4 songs by artist and title.

The prize this time?? The new Nintendo DS portable system!!!

I was about to give up coz I didn't think I'd get through but I tried one more time. I'm glad I did :D

Now, should I keep it or sell that beotch on eBay? :twisted:

^^ Well Michael, can you wire it into your car?
:lol:
I'm glad you're having so much luck! Congrats, dude!
Go to the concerts, touch somebody, and call it good, meng. --That's what makes Bumbershoot so fun around here!

Keep up the good spirits!

What do you guys think I should do? Keep it or sell it?

The system looks awesome, I checked out a couple cool-lookin driving games for it, the touch-screen and wireless communication look awesome.

But checking eBay, I'm seeing them go for $100 easy, $125 as well, and a scant few at $175-$200!! :shock:

I'm kinda torn right now actually...

Oops... I already opened it out of curiosity :(

It's cool as shit, although the Metroid game that came with it is HARD! The controls take some time getting used to on that game...

But the touchpad and everything is awesome...

I think I'm gonna keep it. It's not like I've lost anything :)

I saw that Game Boy thing in a superstreet magazine. You would not believe the amount of sensors you have to buy just to use it.

Kinda seems like a waste.

The DTEC doesn't really need any more sensors than any other type of Electric gauge.

The Defi Link series gauges need some wiring and sensors, so the DTEC is not really much different than that, except you can read Wideband and will soon be able to tune AFR with it.

I think the DTEC is pretty damn cool. Like a new-gen HKS CAMP.

*sigh* the Camp was so cool.

Subyluvr has alot more problems than tuning his car. He needs 3 wheels bearings and that clunking in the front end silenced.

(who were we talking about)

I also need a paint job (bad!), working a/c, the neverending battle against oil leaks/usage, etc. etc.

I can help you with the A/C and the oil leakage....and maybe even the paint. You are on your own with the wheel bearings.
