I do some of my best thinking in the shower. While I was getting ready for work this morning, I was struck by this freight train of fukcing genius...
When people are having babies, they will soon need a bunch of crap that they do not currently own, and they'll need it all at once. This can get pretty expensive. To help young couples out with this situation, their friends and family traditionally throw them baby showers. I dont know exactly what goes down at these baby showers, because I've been fortunate enough to not have gotten any girls pregnant yet. (-that I know of), but the main point of these "showers" is not to bathe at all, but for everyone to bring presents for the young couple. You know- baby crap. Diapers and baby food and cribs, and all the other expensive stuff they'll need.
That being said, here's where my idea comes in. "Car friends" are generally closely-knit groups of people. Guys who turn wrenches together in their garages every weekend and go to car club meets together ad stuff like that, right? Why dont we start a tradition of throwing someone a "New Car Shower"?? Wouldn't that be cool. You get a new car and all your car buddies come over and throw a cookout at your house where they bring you various specialized tools for your new ride, or the obligatory smoked clear corners if it's an E36, or maybe a case of sythetic oil. This way, when you're dealing with all the expenses of getting the new car you dont have to worry about as much of the small stuff, and it's an excuse to get together with all your car buddies and drink beer and eat Bratwurst.
I know what you're thinking. "Holy sh1t dude, you're a genius."
Thanks, I know. So who's with me?
Come on 'FestersLets start a revolution.
