Here is albert doing his tricks. These videos were taken before he had the car horn. Also if anybody wants to build their own "Albert the road barrel" all you need is a road barrel, a 12 volt battery, a couple of sims, a control system of some sort, a turnsignal from an old car, and a car horn out of a 1993 Grand Marquis LS, and any other add ons you think necessary. and thats what you need to make ur own Road Barrel. if you have any questions or suggestions let me know

Quick search on SouthWest rings up $99 Flights on wednesday's and $176 on Sunday. I believe it was like $250-$300 when we flew out there. There are some low airline fairs out of vegas on spirit and southwest. Not sure how group rates are. I'm not saying but I'm just saying.

It was during qf1 m2 and starts around 1:50. They had no other audio being played during this time so I guess they played it becuase everyone knows Wall-E is awsome.
