  2. I was at a gas station filing up, when a car pulled up next to me blasting rap music with all the windows rolled down. The guy got out of his car & left the music blaring...went inside...I guess to pay for some gas. :confused: I gave him a free gallon of gas...on the passenger seat of his car. :cool:

Ray Goss and his family were told to stop by the New Lenox Jewel Osco store Friday morning to pick up free tickets to the races at Chicagoland Speedway this weekend. But they drove off totally “wowed†by their trip to the grocery store. Eckrich, which makes sausages, lunch meat and more, was celebrating its 120th race with 120 military families, selected by Operation Homefront, a nonprofit that provides emergency assistance to families of service members and wounded warriors. The Goss family, of Michigan City, Indiana, had no idea what was in store for them when they pulled into the parking lot off Nelson Road and U.S. 30, where Eckrich, Operation Homefront, Jewel Osco and NASCAR planned a series of surprises. After they were handed their tickets, a replica of the No. 43 Eckrich Ford, to be driven by Aric Aimirola in this weekend’s NASCAR race, pulled up in the front of the store, and Steven France, of Eckrich, told the family they were not only going to the race Sunday but would be honorary crew members for race car No. 43. “Oh, wow. Wow,†was all Jennifer Goss could say, as she showed the car to her 4-year-old son, Max, who was already dressed in racing gear. France also gave them authentic racing team shirts and hats, which they promptly tried on. The next surprise was presented by Anthony Suggs, of Jewel — free groceries for one year. “Wow. Oh, my gosh. Wow. Thank you,†Jennifer said again. Her husband was speechless. But the surprises kept coming as a special guest drove up. “The King†— Richard Petty — stepped out of a white Ford Fusion and shook hands with Ray and Jennifer. “I’m pleased to meet you, sir,†Ray Goss said. And, turning to his son Max, he told him, “He’s the best race car driver that ever lived.†“We appreciate all you have done. So, the deal is, here’s the key to your new car,†Petty told the veteran, as he handed him the keys to the Ford — the same car as No. 43. “Wow. Seriously?†Ray Goss said. “Seriously,†Petty said with a wide grin. “There it is. You have the key.†“You are going to drive a car that he drove,†Jennifer told her husband. “I’ll even sign it for you,†The King said. Again, the veteran was speechless. “I’m a little blown away,†he said a few minutes later. “It reminds you that what you went through was all worth it. This is an amazing reminder that we are not forgotten, that people appreciate what we’re doing.

  5. Jeremy Lin visited Madame Tussauds San Francisco on August 14, 2014 for the unveiling of his LA Lakers clad wax figure. While visiting Lin took the opportunity to surprise some guests who couldn't tell the difference between the wax figure and the flesh-and-blood athlete.
