"Nothing Goes Over My Head... My Reflexes Are Too Fast. I Would Catch It." Drax the Destroyer

Late model Bentley convertible in a screaming Chartreuse at a car wash. Wealth ≠ good taste.

A well used but not abused 1959 El Camino, white over a multi-patterned green. Calif license "59 LKEY"

Nevermind, its dropped off. Accurate Min Mclaren for $24.99 with shipping of $34,299. Relisted at a more normal price

Part of my extensive experience with Crown Vics, I periodically had to investigate collisions involving UPS trucks. It always seemed amusing that when a tow truck was called for their trucks, the tow truck contract mandated that the UPS logos be covered by duct tape or some such when "on the hook". Like no one would notice this massive brown brick-shaped vehicle and not know exactly who owned it?

Original, restored, or a "continuation"? I noticed the 50th Anniversary badge on the fender and Shelby was never shy about "restarting" production of popular models.

Saw one today in a blue/grey/black urban camouflage wrap-didn't help.

Ford F150, Dodge Ram, I could go on but you get the drift. A late model Accord and Civic. Any Lexus. Porsche Cayenne and maybe a Macan. And, trying not to get political, any model Tesla. Except that mobile dumpster the Cybertruck.

For all the front end damage, the cabin stayed remarkably intact and undamaged. It did its job. I'll bet you were sore in a few places afterwards but given the alternative outcome.... Steve (a driver of a remarkably large number of Crown Vics-for business purposes that is.)

Checked; different plates, the blue has a different tone and it appears to be located in Camarillo, about 500 miles away. It IS one vehicle I wouldn't mind owning for the gas pump conversations I'd have if for no other reasons. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1962-chevrolet-corvair-95-pickup-2/

Clerk: "OK, Boomer"

Saw a news article that the closest thing to me that could be considered a hobby shop is closing (retirement-good for them). Now my closest one is 125 miles one way (Berkeley, CA). I went to the soon to be closed shop and got a AMT 1966 GT350 kit after being assured that there was enough good qualities to make this worth the purchase. 3 Tamiya spray bombs with fluorescent red and orange and Gunship Grey. Also 2 Tamiya paint bottles with clear red and clear orange (one can't paint enough taillights and turn signals.)

I wonder if you could "dummy" up some wheels by finding some 4 hole Halibrands (if they even exist in 1/25) and a backing plate so you can't peer through. Let us know how the good fight goes.

I don't know about the wheels (I'm interested because I've got the same kit) but maybe this may help your efforts: https://starfighter-decals.com/2404-texas-roadrunners-240412.html
