How many cinder blocks?
 

How many cinder blocks can you fit in the back of an Aveo Sedan?

The answer is 28!

Now why did I have cinder blocks in the Aveo?

To build an entertainment center! 5 1/2 Feet tall and 10 feet long!

Oh my...how low was your car sitting.:003:

One time I had to fit 8 sandbags in my Z for a hurricane that was moving in. Talk about riding low. :075:

I forgot to take a picture of the car... but I bet it was super low considering I have H&R Lowering Springs on it (drops it 1.5")

you know, Ikea sells pretty inexpensive entertainment centers that weigh less.... and probably cost less than those blocks and wood.

i hauled 60 boxes of slate tile in my z32 once..

We spent $180 on oak wood and the cinder blocks

If you have a wife/gf/parents, I would like to give them props right now for letting you do such a thing.


Still cool.

Wife... I brought the idea up to her about a year ago but it never happened. Then a few days ago she brought it back up and said she wanted to do it

You decided cinder blocks are better quality than a Walmart entertainment center? You really could have bought one cheaper than $180. :D

ummm.... you need a bigger TV to title it as an entertainment center... lol.

i think the entertainment is watching the bricks sway every time someone walks next to them :D

i hope thats on the ground floor.

But not as big!

Oh yeah, it is

Milk crates and wet cardboard are better quality than Walmart furniture. My Lowes baker's rack enertainment center cost less than $180 and it looks pretty good.

$180 for this...

Or $180 for this...

That is a tough decision... but if you're going for the redneck look, cinder blocks FTW eh? :unibrow: :paranoid:

anybody think of a ground shaker, and here ya are watching the boob tube, next thing ya know, there are cinders in yer lap.

no ground shakers here, only tornados! Besides my center holds more stuff then yours! hehe

The largest known earthquake in North American history took place in THAT region of the country in the 1800's...


Just so you know. :)

Its ugly! A 1978 chevy truck holds more stuff but I'd rather be looking at a 280ZX every day.

oh well, its your place, not mine. :wasted:

Mine only cost $109. I can add 4 more posts (two on each side) and 4 more 18"x48" shelves (two on each side) for about $80 for a total of $189, if I needed more space. :)

Bah that was a few hundred miles away

Well I can rearrange according to my needs, lol

So can I. Shelves are adjustable in 1" increments.

Oh yeah... well mine.... ..... .... .... .... mine can be used in a garden too, I guess....

adjustable in 6" increments!! and can be used to make your ex sleep with the fish's and can be used to build a wall, not just any wall, but a great wall!!! a wall so big and powerfull it will make you wall small and pathetic!! it can also be used to build a makeshift bomb shelter, hell it could be used to hold up your car when the thieves decides to take your wheels too, it could also be used to make a wall surrounding you from the outside world, it could be used to build a boat!! it could also be used for tossing them out your car window while driving down the road at people who cutt you off or are tail gating you...so who's entertainment center is small weak and pathetic now!!! :armata_PDT_35: :D:D:D

if you are going for the red neck look you need to paint the blocks all diff colors and put a few empty beer cans in them.

Props on the originality though. Every one else has store bought ones and you made yours thats an added bonus.
