MINOCQUA, Wis. - Dozens of drivers made a mad rush for cheap gas after a station employee accidentally changed the price to 33 cents a gallon.

An employee closing Trig's Minocqua Shell for the night mistakenly entered the price of a gallon of gasoline as 32.9 cents instead of $3.299 on Monday night.

He left about 10 p.m., but drivers could still use their credit cards to buy gas.

Word of the bargain spread fast in the rural northern Wisconsin community, with 42 people buying 586 gallons of gas in an hour and 45 minutes. One person had pumped 27 gallons and two purchased 18 gallons.

1913 Cole Touring




Just check out the primitive front fenders, just after having been invented, when they still performed the function of "Fending" off the horse slop from being flung onto the vehicle users.

In a new twist to the lawsuits and allegations of screwing over customers due to not delivering on time and on cost, it's the local cops and Texas state officials who seized 61 cars in an investigation into title washing (salvage titles being cleared by retitling in a different state - which makes the salvage title stigma disappear)

In another story from a local CBS station, a lot of the workers stayed on to finish some of the Foose Stallions after the shop was raided by police. Just dedicated to the cars, how cool is that?

We have word that Unique Performance utilized hard-core Texas prison inmates to help build the cars, and each of the hand-built Mustangs contained over 13 gallons of Bondo body filler. VIN numbers were illegally removed, and some parts of this re-built American classic were coming from Taiwan. per : http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/25/unique-performance-used-prison-inmates-and-bondo-to-build-must/
