couple days ago i was pulling left into my work ( in the middle turn lane) and traffic was backed up on the other lane. Anyway im midingin my own business when this guys yells at me "hey wannna buy some speakers, we got extra from the factory" and to my surprise they are driving in a white van! I said no way and started laughing, they even had lil employee tags :)

If i had more time i would check em out, i mean they cant be any worse than my KLH bookshelf speakers :)

you know... the white van isn't so uncommon that you should be posting your stories about it here... that'd be like, "i went to quizno's for lunch" threads or something ridiculous like that.

notch it the 4th time for me. today, oceanside, ca, leaving best buy. but for the FIRST time, NOT A WHITE VAN! i was shocked. i was confused. a myriad of emotions ran through me as i stood there in complete, utter disbelief. a grey surburban! and he asked if i wanted a home theatre system. after i politely declined, another 1st happened, he mentioned he got them for free and drove off. stolen? duped into purchasing by the white van? i dont know. couldve even been a sting, and had i been proposed an offer and accepted, busted for trying to accept stolen goods. oh well, figured id share my story.
