Did your parents buy you this? I remember someone got this as a grad gift or something and they posted over on the old briansmodelcars.com That thing is huge

I am an experienced painter who still sucks at painting. I think I can help. I like polishing the enamels without clear coat because it gives that authentic vintage look. 3600 won't do anything for you on that orange peel. You need something like Tamiya 800 grit. Then 1000, 1500 and so on. It takes forever but you can polish out You're better off practicing painting and not getting that orange peel. I just polished the engine cover on my f40. Little orange peel hut not much. Because of the shape it took me an hour from 400 to 12000 and polish. This stuff takes time so you want to start with the smoothest finish possible

I like that you used the box art scheme. It looks good. I might do mine this way

I hate it. Worst bed I ever slept in. King size, non reclining. It's stuffed in my closet. We use to have a full size and upgraded to a king. Not for us. I'm 31 with a bad back. The sleep number made it worse. We have a temper pedic in the guest room and I use that when I get really bad We bought a new premium box spring mattress and it's been great. From what I have read over the years is that some people just don't like the sleep number while others swear by it. TEST it thoroughly. It's essentially a top quality air mattress. The problem with the king is it uses dual air bladders, so there is a dip in the middle. I am 6'3" 250 and I take up a lot of real estate. I can't sleep without going at an Engle or moving around during the night, so take that into consideration

That goes beyond stupid. That's some serious mental sickness.

Yes. He talks about it but I don't recall if it was one particular stunt or a combination of them

that'll do it

He may have snorted baking soda and vinegar.

Considering how much some Cacti cost, suing for damages or cost recovery wouldn't be unreasonable. Johnny Knoxville is stuck with a catheter for the rest of his life. He's a good guy, the rest are questionable.

I bought very close to the bottom of the market in 2008. I got the 5th house I offered on. People were swooping them up with cash at $10k over asking price. My dream house was taken from me. 3 bedroom plus den/office, 3 bath, pool and a nice garage for $185k. Those BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH Canadians came in and offered cash. I ended up settling for a 3 bed/2 bath small garage house as I watched the prices go up. You'll find something, just keep an eye out for the new listings. I offered $5k over asking price so it would hopefully put me ahead a little. When the inspection failed the ac unit and some other stuff I demanded the bank replace and not fix. I was surprised when they didn. New ac, water heater, and appliances

This isn't the worst one. Some of these young educated folk swallowed

We all like to watch half-wits do dumb stuff, I thought we could start a thread, as long as we keep it clean. I present the Vinegar & Baking Soda Challenge http://i.imgur.com/2Zyq15O.gif

The smell of epoxy and marble dust in the morning reminds me that we're working hard, but probably not making any money. I have a love/hate relationship with the smell of marble polishing. It stinks, but I enjoy doing it.

considering the license plate says bag, I'm thinking it's bagged and not permanently that low. Regardless, line of sight being below the tires when you're on the road is just stupid.

It's in a mall. Prime real estate that costs a fortune. They only stock what will sell right away and they run a skeleton crew to save money. Same thing here. I only go there for the work benches Husky tools are great. I've had a set of wrenches and sockets for 13 years now and they've lasted right along side my Matco and SnapOn tools. Hands down the best bang for your buck is Husky tools.

Depends on the state I guess, but you typically can't just get a protective order because you feel like it. There needs to be a good reason and something to back it up

110s almost all month here. Last week had some nice days. It was humid for a couple weeks too, then we finally got some rain. Turned into a torrential downpour and flooded my city in 20 minutes. Went on for an hour and then everything was bone dry an hour after the rain stopped

That manifold is amazing

You can trademark bandit if it's written a certain way or presented as the name of a certain product, with the artwork/logo. You cannot copyright the word, but you can trademark it in the configuration it's used on the product. Copright-words/text by themselves. Such as original product or business names Trademark-logos or words as they appear in logos or artwork. So the word apple cannot be copyrighted, but the apple trademark can be protected. Apple regularly sues other companies with anything resembling and apple in their name or logo around the world

Edit: misread original post. Are there any engines from the enthusiast kits that would work?

for the same reason i can't name my business after my own name, if I quit working for my dad. They do it to protect the established companies. A lot of new companies will pick a name that is very similar to well known, established companies in hopes people won't realize the difference and buy from them. it happens a lot with after market parts and such.

It depends on context. It's all relative. I have some of my own products and I cannot copyright the product to names due to them being generic terms used to make the name. This is good and bad. I can't protect the name, but then again I can't be sued for it either. I can however, trademark the name in the configuration we use it in with the artwork.

Read the comments. They say they can tune it to go from 600-1000hp depending on what they are doing, or remove the blower belt to kick it down to 400hp for autocross. It's built for street, strip, drag, track and everything else. It's a really well done car. I was thinking of building the new kit to resemble this

This is almost 2 years old, so I am not sure if it's been posted before. http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/01/rollin-in-my-5-0-the-fox-redefined/
