Jan 28 2009Make Your Own LEGO Valve Steam Caps
Want to make your own LEGO valve stem caps for your full-scale LEGO car? No problem. Take a LEGO block, hollow it out, glue in a regular cap, and PRESTO, some jerk steals them within the first week. Which reminds me, remember when you used to steal the hood ornaments off luxury cars and wear them as a necklace? Well I still do that.
Hit the jump for another picture in case you're dying to know what one looks like on the inside (who isn't?!)

Thanks to Katto, who had to make Duplo caps because he drives a monster truck.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max got in trouble with the cops for racing Brad Taylor in a housing development, where they did damage to the property there. Max's punishment was to go to japan and hang out with little bow wow.

OMG, who would have guessed you can GLUE Legos to stuff!
This opens up LIMITLESS content possibilities for Geekologie.com, imagine updates every day of Legos glued to something they weren't glued to yesterday!
Do I smell a hollywood blockbuster movie? Possibly an Ashton Kutcher prank show? I think I do...

Haha, Kind of reminds me when I used to do that with bottle caps. Fill them up with glue, and do the same.
19. Spikey DaPikey - January 28, 2009 7:30 PM
Just fill the valve stems with glue, on someone else's car ;)
