Plus, are you serious with the "a thing you never know you're gonna buy when you walked in, but you couldn't let the chance go by...a big HD TV". Come on! I thought you're suppose to cut back on shopping stuff...like stick to the bare necessities! Make an item list at home and stick to it! Plus, any bargain HD TV, probably is so true-HDTV feature lacking that not only it is not a worthy option, but in the end you get what you pay for.

Again it was just an example. Plus a 26 inch vizio runs like $300-$400. Not breaking the bank. But sometimes you find that cheap dog bed/golf bag/ottoman etc that is bulky. We just wanted something to make the challenge, challenging.

WTF? so the chips couldnt have fit on top of the other box? yeah of course it could have!

[Carscom]

It would not have been stable and would have slid off into the rear seats.

[Carscom]

It was just an example. Sheesh.
