  1. Figured it had to a large scale model, it didn't look right for a real bike but seemed to well detailed to be a smaller (1/12-1/25) model.
  2. I did the same on a set of chrome rims for my Traxxas Stampede, only using the Pactra RC version of the paint and have beat the livin' snot out of the truck with those rims and the pant has held pretty well all things considered (as in 30+mph cartwheels ) I be willing to bet the only difference between the Pactra R/C and Testors/Model Master window tint paints are the labels around the cans and cap stickers since Pactra is part of Testors. Here's some pics of the truck after a rather high speed slide (maybe 25-30mph) into the curb infront of the HTU I work at to show the durability without even clearing them. Front Rear that blew the bead in the wreck Heres the rest of the carnage, gotta love RPM's nylon parts
  3. Great pics ismaelg, far better than my cell phone camera (1mp). Gotta agree with the whole texting thing, I've maybe done 10 text messages since getting my first cell phone in 2001, got one co-worker who can get that in 1 shift! I do use mine on occasion for checking e-mails and web surfing, great for killing time on lunch or waiting while Mom was in physical therapy. Think I was behind somebody who was texting while driving, couldn't keep their SUV pointed in a straight line, actually I think I've seen drunks do a better job of vehicle control than this knucklehead was!
  4. I figured it was worth a try George Glad somebody else got it though
  5. Had they tried the Bottle Infrontofme approach prior to that?
  6. Mentioned seeing this commercial to my boss today and apparently she'd seen it too or had heard of it elseware and wants us to bring up that we also offer lay-a-way if somebody is on the fence.
  7. Probably smart, they won't stick out like a Crown Vic would.....and can still get out of their own way, unlike the Impala after a good heat soak.
  8. Could be a little from of both, Dad was telling me today that where he grew up in Iowa back in the 40's and 50's, that's how anybody got much of anything.
  9. I saw a new K-Mart commercial before going to work this morning and thought it was kinda interesting. I woman tells her husband that she is going Christmas shopping and he makes some smart arse comment about the pumpkins bearly being carved. Next scene they show her pushing a stuffed to overflowing shopping car up to the K-Mart Lay-A-Way counter. The main push of the commercial was to put the hottest/latest stuff on layaway so you can give them as gifts and have them on hold now and not have to worry about paying for it here and now. Now I'm only 32 years old, but I don't ever remember seeing a commercial that specifically advertises the use of Lay-A-Way. Are those out there that are either older or more observant than I that remember seeing these kinds of commercials in the past?
  10. I didn't look at the back seat until I got these pics in the computer tonight.
  11. Wanna make a bet that back seat would suck with that cage back there!
  12. Sweet, what's your thoughts on it? I also took a picture of the Charger cruiser kit's interior....I will warn you, it's not the best pic though....
  13. Looks good, wasn't NHRA looking at actually racing trucks like this at one time....until they realised a Fuel motored pickup would be a little dangerous for those crazey enough to strap one on
  14. Can't wait to get there tomorrow, looks like it'll be a good show! Hey Gregg, did you get any pics of that Axial Scale Trail Truck with the '54 Chevy style truck body?
  15. By the looks of it on that other forum, he's getting better!
  16. It's saddening to hear this, but my best wishes go out to his family, they've made a tough decision for sure.
  17. Been on the wrong end of a drunk driver myself, I wish him the best of luck on recovery.
  18. Here's an update on how well the race went for these guys!
