  1. ELO - Livin' Thing
  2. In came a sheriff from Jericho Hill He said, "Willie Lee, you are not Jim Brown You're the dirty hog that shot your woman down"
  3. That's just, like... Your opinion, man.
  4. Nice beater rig! I still have not found any finance for a kit, but when we next get into town I might find a snapkit to do. And yes, hopefully those packages will be going out then, too
  5. A vehicle's only as unsafe as the driver makes it.
  6. I'll take the first car, put some cheap used tires on it, supercharge it, and have fun! Change the transmission to a five-speed. The new cars are all ugly to me, mostly, especially the ones with the same namesake as old ones. They have no soul, they've been drained of personality and originality... they've been raped and corporatized. I pay them no credence, and I consider them unwanted children of the names they share with their great ancestors. But that's just me.
  7. Country Roads, John Denver? "And then I took my turn Oh, what a thing to've done And it was all _____"
  8. I don't like the stance but the paint has convinced me to follow this build
  9. We as auto enthuses really represent a major number of the consumers these days. Like Harry said, many people won't even open the hood of their own car these days. It puts me in a contemplative mood, it does. Like any other piece of large, dangerous machinery, wouldn't you learn the bits and pieces that make it go? Seems really just strange to me. Cars are heavier these days because people are more distracted. Technology is small enough to fit in your palm. Your car is smarter than you'll ever be (relatively speaking). People get distracted by the glowing screens, crash their cars, and sue the company for their idiocy. Back in the fifties, cars were big, relatively simple, and had no crumple zones, airbags, or antilock brakes. You paid attention when you drive or you died in the crash that followed. Acceptance of idiocy is leading to overcomplications of simple tasks by unnecessary technology. It's also funny how many people just think of their cars as transportation, but then require surround sound systems, refrigerators, etc.
  10. I was gonna post this earlier! Roger Miller - King of The Road
  11. Yeah, actually I could care less. I plan on never buying a new car.
  12. I'll say 60%, because I start every kit but never finish it.
  13. Represent the rapper from Maine!
  14. Lyrically, I'm not the best Physically the opposite of Randy Moss, and yet So preposterous, feel the awesomeness...
  15. Transplanting a heart with a baked potato
  16. Excuse Me Mr. by No Doubt
  17. Just looking back at my pictures, especially that last one, makes me really want to get back to work on this. I'll still have to figure out a frame and the ladder bars, as well as an engine.
  18. Had a fairly de-ee-cent (read by Bubbles) day at school. Came home, had some curry p, then some cake, then went to sleep at four o'clock. Just woke up about two hours ago.
  19. Several people here collect boxes. Some say they throw theirs away after the kit is done. I, myself, keep all of them. They're good for all the parts that I have. I'll grab one of the maybe 12 empty boxes I have upstairs, go to my room, fill the box with whatever cool parts I find that day, and head back up to the workbench with my parts. I have one box that I pitch paint stirrer sticks into. Another is a flat sheet plastic scrap box. One is filled with tires. The others fluctuate in their contents. What do you do with your empty boxes?
  20. Oh, I'm like a beggar with no luck I'm holding signs up on your street corner stops Like most, you try not to see me Stare straight ahead, ignore the responsibility
  21. Okay, I really want a Hillman Imp.
  22. I'm Just A Girl by No Doubt!
