Boston Red Sox win the 2007 World Series!!!!

The Boston Red Sox swept the Colorado Rockies to win the 2007 World Series! Another spectacular weekend for New England sports fans and another unbelievable story for the Red Sox as Jon Lester, a 23 year old cancer survivor pitched an outstanding game 4 and fellow cancer survivor Mike Lowell was named MVP.

Free tacos for all, free furniture for some and free agency for MVP Mike Lowell. Before the Red Sox had even won the game there was talk about Mike Lowell and whether he would remain with the Red Sox. Boston fans that traveled to Colorado made their opinion heard by chanting "Re-sign Lowell, Re-sign Lowell" and also "Don't sign A-rod" (he may have the best numbers in the MLB, but he's still a Yankee).

Like a broken record, the only song stuck in my head today is "Tessie" by the Dropkick Murphys, a remake of a song that helped Boston rally to win the first World Series in 1903.




If the the Red Sox winning both games in Colorado and sweeping the World Series wasn't enough, the New England Patriots dominated the Redskins for a 52-7 victory on Sunday and remain undefeated. It doesn't get any better than that... except that there was frost on my car this morning, which means it is almost Snowboarding season and I can't wait for fresh powder.

Congrats Boston!

What a weekend for New England sports

This was such an unbelievable weekend for New England sports. The Red Sox overcome a 3 game to 1 deficit to win three straight games and move on to the World Series. Saturday night J.D. Drew finally came up big with a Grand Slam to begin a rally for a 12-2 win. Sunday night the Sox came up big again with an 11-2 win over Cleveland, although the game was much closer than the final score makes it appear. Champagne was spraying, Papelbon was dancing an Irish jig and Ortiz had his goggles on before the game was even over.

On top of an amazing weekend for the Red Sox, the undefeated New England Patriots crushed the winless Miami Dolphins Sunday afternoon. With a halftime score of 42-7, the commentators were hoping for a mercy rule to put a stop to the beating. Many New England starters were pulled from the game for the second half allowing Miami to put a few more on the board but falling very short of a victory, New England won 49-28 to maintain undefeated status at 7-0.



It may still be 75 degrees out, but the leaves are changing and my mind is starting to drift towards my favorite winter sport: snowboarding. Now is a great time to buy a used board if you are new to the sport or are just looking to upgrade your current set up. Check out the Want Ad's Winter Sporting Goods section.

If you’re looking for some new gear check out ProBoardShop.com,
they are having a 50% off sale and have all kinds of new boards like Burton, K2, Forum, Rome, Ride and a whole lot more. They also have a full line of clothing and accessories at great prices.




I also recommend purchasing a Powder Passport which is good at 16 mountains in New England and you can buy them for 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7 days. You don't have to use the days consecutively so you can save a lot of money and you don't have to commit to one mountain like a season pass.

Go Red Sox!

I am back by popular demand!
So since my blogging debut I’ve gotten some comments from fellow bloggers & coworkers. At first it was mostly on the fact that I wrote too much or just “rambled on & on” (See Neil’s blog) & lately it’s been “So when are you going to write another blog”? … I believe someone actually said yesterday that mine was “The Best” (Thanks Jayson!).
So with that being said all I have to express to the naysayers is that I can’t help it if I’m incredibly entertained by the notion of talking about myself. You would do the same if you were this extraordinary.
I’ll keep it short & sweet & to the point this time though-you know it’s not ALWAYS ABOUT ME…
We are now on myspace.com so friend us, add us to your favorites, leave a comment-whatever you want (within reason of course-let’s keep it clean for the kids, this is a family publication after all)!
Have a great weekend my peeps-
Always Keeping It Classy,

Jeep owners!

I found a really good deal going on at 4WD. Until the end of October if you purchase 3 Pro Comp tires you can get the 4th free. The deal includes radials, Xtreme All Terrains, Radial Muds, Xtreme Muds and Xterrains. The deal ends October 31st.




They also have a really great deal on the SmittyBilt XRC 8,000 lb winch. This is a 4.1 hp winch with a 5/16" x 92’ galvanized aircraft cable with replaceable hook on sale for only $299.99. So if you get bogged down in mud, sand, snow or just want to winch your way up a mountain, take a look at this deal.




Enjoy,

Grass Drags and Water Crossing

This weekend the Want Ad attended the New Hampshire Snowmobile Association Grass Drags and Water Crossing. The event was held in Fremont, NH and featured a variety of events and vendors.
The main event, the snowmobile drag racing, consists of modified snowmobiles racing across a field (nope, no snow, just grass) and some reaching speeds well over 100 mph in a 1/8 mile track. If you think snowmobiles racing across grass seems out of place, another event was a snowmobile race around a pond (nope, no ice, just water). Snowmobiles are able to glide across water as long as they are constantly moving or else they sink like a stone and that happened plenty of times. The event also featured ATV racing and both dirt bikes and snowmobiles jumping off ramps as tall as a house. Take a look at a few of the video clips the Want Ad took at the event:



The Want Ad had a booth set up in a great location and we were able to meet a lot of great customers and snowmobile enthusiasts that were thrilled to recieve a free copy of the Want Ad and the new Powered. This was a great event that could make any warm weather lover left craving a blizzard.

Happy buying and selling,
