Got a hitch receiver?

A buddy of mine just got one installed on his CR-V. I wrote this up for him. This weekend there is a 20% off coupon, link is on fatwallet.

This is the email:

---

OK, here's what you need besides the 20% off coupon:

One of these:

Some of these (mix and match, they have many options):
http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/itemdisplay/displayItem.do?itemid=90984&CategoryName=&SubCategoryName=
http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/itemdisplay/displayItem.do?itemid=47708&CategoryName=&SubCategoryName=

Then one of these (I wish they had these when I bought!!!):
http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/itemdisplay/displayItem.do?itemid=92655&CategoryName=&SubCategoryName=

OR, if they don't have the above or you want to spend less (but then buy a can of black rustoleum to help prevent rust when you scratch it up), this is what I have:
http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/itemdisplay/displayItem.do?itemid=34313&CategoryName=&SubCategoryName=
http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/itemdisplay/displayItem.do?itemid=98393&CategoryName=&SubCategoryName=
http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/itemdisplay/displayItem.do?itemid=98390&CategoryName=&SubCategoryName=

Running total: 2 snowblowers (one assembled, one in a box), one chipper (assembled, 3 times), a kids bike + a deck sized cooler, a mattress, and a full keg of tasty tasty Du Claw Euphoria. That's all I can think of off-hand that I've used mine for, but well worth <$100 to have.

I can't stop laughing at THESE dumb criminals...

Best Cover EVER

This is quite funny, doubly so if you are a NIN song and listen to the words and think about the Russians.
