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!

$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?

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.
