I'm just wondering what you were searching for to come across 'emergency toilet paper'?

That doesn't look like any legitimate Chevrolet Bowtie I have ever seen, nor do I see anything indicating any GM parentage.

But some poor sap will get suckered into buying it and then laughed off the showfield when he tries to pass it off as gennie. Chevy guys can be ignorant, but they're not completely stupid.

Those rolls probably came in the LS6 Chevelles for obvious reasons...

Is that from the old days when you just pulled over to the side of the road and just let it go?

Typically when you have 'vintage' and '70, 1970' in an ebay search, it will bring up all kinds of junk items whether they are new, used, NOS, or otherwise. The search engine was just responding to one of the items in a search parameter.

Either that or Lee is getting kinky.....

Or would you believe I was searching for Christmas presents for my Chevy friend? Oldsmobile people are too sophisticated to have toilet paper in their cars. They use their owners manuals in an emergency.

The best part is the car you use it in does not have to be pristine. In fact it could even be a real turd.

It is always great to be ready for when the chit hits the fan, or when you are driving with someone who scares the crap out of you.

Richard almost needed this the other day...

Chevy would not have worked. I need the extra heavy duty Dodge / Cummins brand paper.

Now HOW did that end up in my post? I did not even write that...
Oh - looks like Richard used the EDIT button and not the QUOTE.
Looks like I need a WIPEOUT!

aww, don't stop now. You're on 'a roll'.

You don't need Olds toilet paper. You need 'Star Trek' or 'John Wayne' TP.
The star trek stuff circles 'uranus' and wipes out klingons, but the JW TP is rough and tough and doesn't take $hit from no one....

Oh geez - that one got me combining astronomy and electrical terms both in the same sentence for no reason...
First one was "Uranus Hertz"...

Two more days on the auction and only $25 for two rolls of TP in a plastic bag. What would you pay for TP in an emergency. Don't get caught with your pants down on this auction.

So you used to pull it off the roll, too??
I liked sucking it off the roll with the vacuum cleaner when I was young. The roller would be almost smokin' from spinnin' so fast!
Then my mom would be POed because it would be all wound up in the motor. It was worth it, though...

So, you're saying one of several things here. 1. Your engineering curiosity came to you at an early age? 2. You liked to 'experiment' with the vacuum....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRF60xjaBYE or 3. Your Mom made you learn housekeeping skills at an ungodly early age?

Uhh, looks like all of the above, but I am referring to a vacuum CLEANER....

At that early age I also got some great advice on the radio on how to cook toilet paper...

I am off the toilet...paper now. I threw a couple rolls in my car and used a sharpie to add an olds logo.

I was thinking about displaying a miniature car with my show car. I found a nice hot wheels 442 actually being bid around $1,300 but I kind of favor this hot wheels to display with my car ebay 270839007811. I told my kids that is what I want for Christmas. PLEASE DONT BUY IT, I SAW IT FIRST.

A sharpie? Come on - your nice car needs something nicer than that.
Heck, mine even has a handy handle on top of it for easy unrolling!
