  1. You can always goto the Post Office or any Western Union store to get a money order verses the bank. I prefer a USPS money order when Im being paid for something, reason being if its a money order from the Postal Service, any post office will cash the money order for you not to mention you can avoid the long lines during lunch break at the bank.
  2. I already have a paypal account just not a checking account. I actually don't want a checking account. As a youngster back in my Tommy Toughnuts, inmature think I'm a badass days, checking accounts got me in trouble. Better off with the setup i have.
  3. Will try to get photos to post with this thread in a day or so. I don't have a collection, however I do have just two that I worked very hard to obtain and have restored before the back injuries and surgeries that resulted on having to go on Disability. I have a 1966 Plymouth Satallite and a 1957 Plymouth Belvedere.
  4. lol did anyone catch Jay Lenos show last night when they had the father and one son of Duck Dynasty on ? Would one believe and its true according to the show last night that the father of the group was actually on the same high school football team as Terry Bradshaw and actually was the first string quarterback with Terry being second string lol. You have to give the Duck Dynasty family credit as they developed a product of there own from scratch and worked there way to the top of the Duck calling industry into self made Millionares. Just this past year alone they sold over 185,000 duck calls. Cant fault a man that took something from nothing and built it into a multi million dollar business. The father started the business in a tiny little shed and built it into the huge warehouse it is today. Handed the business to the sons and only asked for a tiny check each month. Much respect for that show and the family. Jersey Shore got my vote as well because of the teetas and hips haha. Ronnie always keeps it interesting because hes always fighting. Pauly D for his DJ abilities, Vinnie for his moms cooking and The shituation just because hes a avid idiot haha. Ok Im a fool that falls for these reality tv shows. OCC on the other hand, Hasta La vista. Havent watched that show in years. If memory serves me correctly the last bike I seen them build was for the New York Jets.
  5. Safe travels to everyone during this Holiday season. Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. Doc you cant photoshop eyegore bad enough to make him look bad. Eyegore is one of those types that just looks good in everything you put on him haha. God love Eyegore.
  6. Good to know AQ stocks it. Thanks for letting us know that. Just wanted to introduce myself and say Thanks for the info. I'm about twenty five mins North of Harrisburg towards Lewistown. Nice to see someone else from my area on here too.
  7. A person could almost use this kit with a bit of modifications and create a Late Model Stock Car model out of this. Like the idea and may give it a whirl.
  8. Martinfan5 thats not the going rate. I just got popped a few weeks ago doing 54 in a 45 and my fine was only $182.60 LOL. Bawahahahahaha
  9. I really like to donate, give and help any youngester in need this time of year but my main thing is knowing that the company or organization that is doing the TFT is legit and the toys will actually goto children in need. Ive donated three years in a row to a organization to find out that the company doing the TFT was a scam. I will be more then happy to donate a few kits and accessories to help this cause. I may not have alot of money to give throughout the year but its always a great pleasure to be able to help a youngster that isnt fortunate enough to be able to enjoy the Holiday seasons as well as others. Its a tiny little way we can all give to put a smile on some childs face Christmas morning. Thanks for making us aware of this opportunity.
  10. That's one regret I have with Paypal Donn. I'm paid by the US Government, one time per month. They give you a Mastercard that can be used as a Debit or Credit Card when making a transaction. My paycheck is direct deposited one time per month the third of each month therefore having the Debit/Credit card I have no need for a checking account. When I created my paypal account, I linked my Debit/Credit card to my paypal account. Because I don't have a checking or savings account I was never able to get verified because I couldn't link a checking or savings account to my paypal account. I can pay for items with the paypal account the same as having an account linked to my account but I can never with drawl money from my paypal account even if someone should pay me through paypal because the balance is just listed as a credit through Paypal. When I check my balance on my paypal account, it always reads $0.00 even though there's Thousands of dollars on my Debit/Credit card account. Its a weird setup but its how I'm set up so I have to deal with it.
  11. The last time I looked up the definition of Rat Rod in the Dictionary the definition clearly stated this. Any scale model Dr. Cranky produces that contains rust. Just sayen
  12. Your right I dont watch very many Napcar races as Im more of an Open Wheel fan IE Formula 1 and IRL but a fan of anything that has four wheels and goes fast. I do however love to build Napcar models. I have watched enough to know that Jeff Gordon has been protected and catered too too many years now that he needs to have his binky taken from him and treated like a man for once. I totally agree with you GORDON should have waited till after the races to address any ill feelings he had with Boyer. Not handled it the way he did during the race. BUt that will never happen cuz hes the Napcar wonder boy, chosen one. What the crews did was over the line and totally NOT to be expected during a race on National Television. Once again handle it after the races in the garages or hauler areas. Im on Boyers side here Martinfan. I woulda been jacked too but not have handled it like they did. Especially trying to sneek Gordon. Handle it like a man face to face and knukkle up. Its all part of racing IF handled properly. Nascar better handle this properly and penalize BOTH teams or its just another prooven reason that the 24 team is the catered too chosen crew of Nascar.
  13. I have to say that Im a big fan of Hendrick Motorsports because I have two different friends that actually work for Hendrick Motorsports in the 48 stables. What I will say about the 24 - 15 saga from today is the 15 did nothing wrong today but race for position with a ill handeling car all race. The 15 didnt come up into the 24 if anything the 24 came down into the 15. Gordon got frustrated and then black flagged so he thought screw it, hes in third, Johnson is points back now because of slamming the wall so he took him out figuring Napcar probably wouldnt penalize him because hes the wonder boy of Napcar. Not the actions of a Champion for sure. Very unprofessional and lack of class on Jeffs part (which I'm sure will be handled appropriately on Monday morning) as Rick H doesnt stand for those kind of on track incidents. The 15 crew on the other hand showed total lack professionalism and class as well. You dont sneak a driver period especially during the race. If you wanna meet in the motor home area and slug it out have at it but not at the track. If you watched any of the entire drama, Michael Waltrip was there trying to pull people back and get his driver under control. It was just bad judgement on both crews parts that left emotions and reacted without thinking it out first. Horrible that all those children watching the race today had to witness that. I do however hope that Boyer takes ahold of Gordon tonight in the hauler area though lol. In regards to Danica Patrick, she has however actually had a decent year in the Cup Series. For her first year I feel shes done super on the limited schedule shes ran. She did nothing today that four other drivers did. She of all people has a right to be pissed more then anyone as they should have thrown the yellow when she got out of shape with two to go. Had they thrown a caution I doubt that last wreck woulda happened but with what happened, Danica got TAGGED hard. Will be interesting to see how things pan out next weekend. Not a fan of #2 or #48 but if I had to pick one of the two Id rather see the 2 being someone new win it.
  14. Hawk, I remember that earthquake. I was setting in my basement and it felt like my dog jumped down off the couch onto the floor thats how light the shake was lol.
  15. I gota nock off that I use from Ebay thats made me happy various times and has never left me down yet. Think I paid like $15 shipped to the door and it came with 62 bits and accessories.
  16. The old AMT Indy kits are a very nice kit to put together. The turbo is hard to get positioned perfectly. Has to be perfect or the finished engine assembly wont fit properly. You can usually snag one of the Indy kits off Ebay for around $15 shipped to your door. Monogram has made a few Indy kits as well but I dont like them as much as the AMT kits. There is a AMT kit of Mario Andretti in the Newman Haas car, and a Michael Andretti kit in the Kmart car.
  17. Nice job dude. Loved Harry Gant back in the Skoal days.
  18. Went on a little splurge today. Got a fix of Model Master paints in the 1/2 oz bottles. TWO bottles of each colors, both Enamels and Acrylics. Enamel colors are as follows : Red Gloss, Marker Yellow, Brown Gloss, Green Gloss, Silver Blue, Field Green Flat, Dark Sea Blue, Flat Yellow, Fire Red Gloss, and Orange Gloss. Acrylic Colors are War Flesh, Ghoal Flesh, Green Drab, Ogra Green, Goblin Orange, Magical Blue, Kirin Yellow, Standard Navy Grey, Dunkelgrau and Angel Green. Alot of these will work when I dab into the Military WWII Tanks and Armor. Now I can try both Donn Yost and Andys methods both. Then I got some bottles to put it all in lol. Two oz bottles with the Yorker caps. Will be doing some shopping tomorrow kit wise. Hoping to pick up a F1 kit, as well as a couple of Plymouth kits. Sorry bout the double post of the paint pic dont know why it posted the same pic twice. Sorry.
  19. I have never did anything out of the unnormal. Anything Ive ever done in Hobby Lobby with a coupon was at the mercy of the manager that rings me out. I know the manager and go through her line constantly. So theres no need to be accusing anyone of doing anything wrong or illegal. If the manager allows you to use two coupons (which the 25% is automatically given) with the second being the 40% off store coupon then I guess Shame on them. I simply hand the cashier my items, coupons and tender at the time its asked for. She gives me my change, bag and receit. I see no harm in that. If there was something "illegal" or "deceitful" going on Im sure the manager would be sure to bring to my attention.
  20. Thats kind of like your only supposed to be able to use the 40% off coupon once. The other weekend my daughter and I went in to Hobby Lobby. We both had a 40% off coupon. I paid for my items, closed the transaction then she went through to pay for hers. The manager was running the register, she entered MY coupon code I had TWO times for me and my daughter and left her keep hers that she could go get something else and come back through using her coupon the second time. So we got three items at 40% off. It all depends on the cashier you get and the mood of the cashier at the time you check out. Ive had this at Michaels before as well.
  21. Thanks for all the replies guys. Much appreciated.
  22. For any of you airbrushers that like to mix your own paints, Hobby Lobby currently has 25% off all Mediums with another coupon of 40% off one item. So you could get a bigger bottle of Airbrush medium for 65% off and 25% off any other mediums or finishes you want. Just a FYI in case anyone wasnt aware of and wanted to utilize this opportunity.
  23. Thank You Sir, Ill google the website and view. Thanks again.
  24. Haha I feel you man. Before after a six pack we were just getting primed and ready to head to the club for the night. You give me a six pack now Im ready for bed haha. Just cant hang like we used too but rest assured I wish I had a dollar for every night I spent a $100 + at the club, ID be a millionare lol.
  25. I know of the various sprint cars that exist, but does anyone know if there are any Late Model Stock Car kits that may have been released by anyone ? Id be interested in purchasing a couple of late models if they exist. Thanks in advance.
