Lives spent sleeping are wasted lives, as Ben Franklin said, "There will be enough sleep in the grave!"

Boring people have no hobbies or interests and spend their time sleeping on the couch

Popular sentiment seems to be that adult modelers are old men playing with kids toys.

as fighting begins

Month after month there are model car shows across the country, but NNL East was last month on Saturday April 27th in Wayne, NJ and that never stopped people from calling me the morning of the show from Parsippany, NJ asking "where is everyone?" even though we haven't been at that hall in over 15 years, nor do the idjits who call me on Sunday with the same question and then argue with me that NNL East is always on a Sunday, um... Nope never!

Don't buy anything advertised on Facebook! I saw a shelving system that held shoes. From the video on the ad, and the company's website this was the perfect size for the shoe boxes I use for my stamp store. I ordered, and got bogus tracking information that showed the item delivered to Washington State. I live in Pennsylvania. Then the ads stopped, the website is down and the customer service email comes back bad. Then suddenly the ads are back with a completely new company name. Same video! I complained to Facebook and got back a message that they reviewed my request and the ad doesn't violate their community standards! Same with all the ads for Forever Stamps at $20 a roll of 100! Those are counterfeit stamps produced in China. Facebook allows the ads.

Um no... the Danbury Mint cars were designed by Rick Hanmore and Doug Whyte, both very knowledgeable car guys, and esteemed members of the model car community. I saw both of them at NNL East this past weekend.

Back when my family owned the service station, I was working there one morning and my brother-in-law asked me to move an RX-7 into the service bay. He was so big he couldn't get into it! I used to bust his chops that if he won a new car it would be an RX-7

Wow! So sad. I haven't been on the board as of late as I was busy with preparations for NNL East. So sorry to hear he is gone! RIF Snake!

New Jardiance commercial

I started this for the 24 Hour build In January, but engaged in overcomplicatous and it hasn’t been completed yet. I decided to go the six cylinder route and got hung up on fit and details to make it all fit. I also chose the wrong paint. I thought I had Tamiya yellow but found I had a near empty can. So I found another brand that never dried during the 24 hours. It is dry now and plenty shiny!

Concept cars are either very cool or way off the mark

Now that’s cool. Super unforgettable model!

Forum posts can be both entertaining and frustrating.

Nicely done! I don't believe I've seen one done as the van before!
