  1. We all make mistakes. Learn from them, resolve not to repeat them, forgive yourself for making them and move on. I still have difficulty with the last two parts of that statement.
  2. Looks great. You did an outstanding job.
  3. Great work Tim! Really spectacular.
  4. Barry Bonds played at a high level into his 40's. Yes, I know all about the steroids, but he did play that long. Tom Brady played (albeit football) until he was 47. There will be a very few guys who can play into their mid to late 40's, but Father Time usually catches up with them long before then. Pete Rose by the end of his career was a spank hitter. His base hits were almost always landing in the shallow parts of the outfield. He no longer had the drive in his swing to give the ball a ride. Hitters in baseball usually fall into two categories that spell their demise. They either cannot turn on a fastball anymore or they cannot read the spin of the laces on the breaking balls. They are finished once the pitchers figure this out. The pitchers lose a few miles per hour off of their pitches and then the batters can turn on them and drive the balls almost at will. That is what makes the guys like Pete Rose or Nolan Ryan really special.
  5. Looks great. Really captures the era for those cars.
  6. Great looking car. Paint is outstanding and the interior detail looks great.
  7. Spent the weekend at Kansas Speedway and saw 4 very entertaining races over three days. Th highlight was seeing my favorite driver (Ross Chastain) win the Cup race on Sunday.
  8. Pete Rose was one of the main pieces of the Reds. I absolutely despised that team growing up, but they were an amazing collection of talent. Unfortunately for Rose, his gambling habit got in his way and caused his demise with baseball. Rest in peace Charlie Hustle. You were one of a kind.

  17. Great work! I remember having this one as a slot car growing up. It was one of my favorites.
  18. Great job Tim! I have a couple of these waiting in the wings. Growing up I had this as a slot car, and I always loved the lines of this car.
  19. Looks great! Really outstanding.
  20. That's cool! Looks really nice.
  21. Really nice. The interior looks especially nice!
  22. Great paint and decal work. The model really looks great!
  23. Sure the cars are loud and annoying, but by and large, they sound like fart machines. And, I find that more comical than anything else.
  24. Really outstanding work! Great job!
