  1. yup, definitely a strange flavor of Murican.
  2. it's an iPad, that's yer problem... sorry, couldn't help it.
  3. roof rats got into the single story apartment I used to live in and the apartment management still hadn't resolved this by the time I moved out. there was a constant night time stampede through the ceiling, the rats chewed through the drywall, got into food packages and marked their territory. "marking their territory" means peeing or spreading their poo on things....this happened in our cupboards on our pots and pans which I didn't notice till the horrible smell after the pans heated up on the stove. I think one got stuck in the air conditioning heater doe to the horrible stench when it got cold enough that I needed to turn on the heat. I was so glad to be out of that place!
  4. may be an issue with your computer display resolution (for the way the web page looks) but I have no clue at this time as to why you have thread posting problems.
  5. I could see more of the girls if there weren't cars and bikes in the way...
  6. Just because you have a JC Whitney catalog doesn't mean you have to use something from every page.
  7. Harry, I think you are measuring "show cars" with the wrong yard stick. IMHO, they were not meant to be styling masterpieces. I think they and their creators (in many cases) succeeded in their goal of creating "automotive art".... something not practical, something so outlandish that you HAVE to look at it. Some of the most successful/popular show car creators (whether they created per commission or not) tend to design or utilize automotive elements in ways not done before or include them in a way that sparks interest (in at least a few people).
  8. sometimes I don't glue the wires to the head, if the wires aren't trying to pull out on their own, there is usually nothing that will disturb them when the model is finished.
  9. Linda Evans

  14. I thought the Astra company went with the Pseudo-Ion Thrust Action engine... BEST USE OF SPORKS EVERRRRRR!!! this is a work of art!
  15. DAMMMMMNNN YOU "AUTO-CORRECT"!!!
  16. "wire wrapping wire" is commonly used in electronics work for temporary and experimental work, the reason it is called wire wrapping wire is because the wire has a short section of the insulator stripped off then tightly wrapped/coiled around a conductive peg. This makes prototyping a quick process because there is no need to solder the connections which can be "unwrapped" easily for circuit modification. Common suppliers of "wrap wire" would be Fry's electronics, Digikey, Mouser, Newark...etc, including Amazon and fleabay. Wrap wire comes in various gages and many colors of insulation. You would only need to buy one spool of your favorite size/color to have a virtual lifetime supply.
  17. Natalie Wood comes to mind
