Author Topic: Bumper Cupholder Test (Read 13893 times)

oHIobellboy · « **on:** July 22, 2008, 05:32:43 PM »

New contest.
Must have an empty dated beverage can ( preferably not an alcohol one as the Law may not like it, Right MoAv?

) put in a BUMPER cupholder and see how long it can stay there. Sorry folks, this only works on cladded

I put mine in on July 4th and have about 400 miles on it so far. I did take it out to go through a car wash and for doing my Refinish Restorer.
I've already caught 3 people wanting to throw it away for me and had to tell them to leave it alone.
If yours get taken or lost, date a new can and start over.

**LETS ADD THIS ALSO** If you're at a GTG with it, you have to get a pix of you and someone else with the can

YOU MUST POST PIX !!!!!!!

Oh, you're sooooo on!! I'll find an appropriate (ahem...) can and get started...should add up the miles quick going to Natl's - if I ever get my Av back...

Watcha win? Gotta have a good prize for this one OBB (and not a FULL can of soda...)

I bet if it was unopened it would not last that long.

Guess I need another one with the new Amp can. (and what does a can of Amp have to do with Dale Jr?

Hmmm, I don't know guys - I see some Av's, (nice BTW), and three guys with a can - but nothing in the bumper cup holder....

Does that count?

My cans disappeared right after I arrived at Nationals, and didn't get returned until right before I left, so no pics in Pigeon Forge. They rode with me to Nashville yesterday - but not a GTG, so no pics again....but over 1500 miles so far and counting

Sorry I missed this post

We went to Chicago area a few weeks ago and drove all over the place.
I could have logged a bunch of miles.

I guess I'll start today, but since we don't drive the Av unless we are on trips, I'm not sure how many miles I'll log.

That's sooo true - I've had plenty of people offer to throw them away for me. "Do you know you have empty cans in your holders?"

And the looks on their faces when I explain what's going on...priceless!! Kind of "You're doing WHAT?"

Actually, I haven't put anything in them - probably some rain has got in there, or water from the car wash. But I empty them when I think about it.

Big crunch, lots of cussing and a few tears... Sigh. Luckily it's only the bumper and step area - tailgate is fine other than I can't open it right now because of how the cladding is bent underneath. Live and learn I guess...

Must have flown out when Twiggy went to go get pizzas earlier. Dang wind, I had 2000 miles on that can and it went to 2 GTGS

Uh, oh....lol...Tell you what OBB - how about if we start over? Truly I don't think my can should count cuz since I crunched it it pretty much CAN'T fly out...and I did lose the other can already. Whatcha think? New cans? Of course GTG miles will probably be more scarce now...

Yes, it got moved during the modding, but I put it back when we were done and it disappeared again. Sigh. This time it wasn't returned, so I don't have my can anymore. I'm hoping someone put it somewhere in my stuff in the back of the Av & I'll find it when I get home. Sooooo, no pics from this GTG with my can.

Well I finally lost my crunched/stolen/returned/hidden/found can...well, not really lost. When I parked the Av at the parking garage in St. Louis while I went to California, someone took it and I guess threw it away. Probably thought it was trash, not realizing the emotional attachment I had to that can...hehe...we'd been through a lot of miles...

I'll see about doing a "how to" thread for it a little later. All I used was a 3" hole saw, some cupholders from a marine store and a foam can "huggie" cut in half and pushed up over the bottom of the cupholder for mine. Others have taken a very thin bead of silicone to hold the cupholders in. If you cut the hole tight enough the cupholders barely move without anything holding it.

Just had to do it!!!

I stole his can and replaced it with a water bottle! Told his wife(she was in on it) to take a picture of me and OBB.....As we were posing I reached into my cargo pocket and pulled the can out for the picture!

Glad to see the can is doing so well OBB - I have to start another one too...mine was blown out/stolen/can jacked AGAIN....sheesh...they seem to be harder and harder to keep in the bumper. Hmmm....Superglue?

Get a picture posted soon of my new can...have to find the right one....

JB Weld will do it.

But they will have to steal the whole bumper to get it out.

Love to see the look on the can thief's faces when they try to pull a JB Welded can out...

well,,,my can took a flying leap somewhere on the higway today after lunch. I know I had 111108 on the odometer after lunch as I wanted to get a pix of all 1's on the odometer. So, I'm going to call it 11,108 miles on that can.

Heidi Ho · « **Reply #168 on:** July 09, 2009, 08:39:26 PM »

I know you had alot of fun with that can...I guess that means ou have to come to STI and a few NC GTG's to get all those miles back on your new can

oHIobellboy · « **Reply #169 on:** August 16, 2009, 09:26:30 PM »

I've got a little over 2k on the new can and had Intimidator sign this one. Seems almost every time I have a MI member sign it the can is gone within a week.

I locked mine in the saddlebag while we were parked. Saw a few people scrounging and didn't want it taken.

dime deposit on cans here, downtown Pontiac I got asked for 67 cents for a telephone call while standing behind OBB's truck

The guy got mad at us and stomped off after asking 3 or 4 times, he even told us some kind of story that his brother had got pulled over and was in Kalamazoo jail or something and he needed to call someone to get a ride to go get his car.

btw - I don't recall seeing a payphone anywhere in Pontiac and I know they don't take pennies, 67 cents

Hugz · « **Reply #177 on:** September 12, 2009, 11:17:02 PM »

Noticed mine went missing on Friday while at PT.. Had over 14,500 on the darn thing.. So many people talked about taking it on me, ut I think it had to do with me parking near the sidewalk..

At least they left the Quater in the other one that Crystal put in there back in June..

Well time to start another...

Dang OBB! I think I got about 2,000 miles on my Can since WoodWard!

(I dont drive much unless its to a GTG farther away)

The other day I went out to my truck at work and my Cans were gone.... I said well that sucks! Later that day I walked in the back yard of the show and seen them laying on the ground....One of the guys at work thinks its stupid driving around with cans in my bumper and thro the cans i n the yard. I told him, I get more laughs and compliments on my cans in my bumper and not to touch them again!

He hasnt touched them since!

Good thing there's a GTG this weekend to start a new one.

That last one started when trAV signed it last July up at Lake Erie.
