Model Cars Are Better Than Real Cars Because...

[Bruce Poage]

A number of years ago(maybe 25) I read the following poem in some hobby publication. It was written by a hobbyist by the name of Tom Geiger. I've never met the man but I keep this bit of literataure on my hobby room wall. I thought you might enjoy it. Here goes.

Model cars are beter than real cars because...

Real cars rust and model cars don't, unless you want them to.

Model cars are better than real cars because...

Your neighbors could care less that you have 100 model parts cars

but will complain loudly about one real one in your driveway.

Model cars are better than real cars because...

You can part out two model Ferraris in one month and still make rent!

Model cars are better than real cars because...

Model cars don't effect your auto liability policy.

Model cars are better than real cars because...

Model car tires never go flat on dark, deserted roads.

Model cars are better than real cars because...

They never leak oil or gas on your driveway.

Model cars are better than real cars because...

You can have have nice show model cars that stay nice, but keeping

one real one nice is a full time job.

Model cars are better than real cars because..

When your wife wrecks a car it's a "dusting accident" and not a "reportable accident".

Model cars are better than real cars because...

you can buy five model cars at once without signing any loan papers.

Model cars are better than real cars because...

I'd rather have to deal with "Dave, The Model King" than "Potamkin Chevrolet-Your friendly Dealer".

I hope this puts a smile on your face and more joy in the bobby. Hae a good one.
