  1. Yea,again,that sucks.People don’t realize sometimes how fast a fire can spread.Like I said, he was probably trying to put it out to save the building and his things.I almost got burned once, when a fire started in an apartment i was living in.And this fire,although i was able to put it out before it got bad,could’ve been really bad..And like an idiot i was smoking in bed started to nod off,and i dropped the cigarette on the floor.A small fire started,but thank God i quickly woke up and saw the carpet right next to the bed on fire.I jumped up and smothered it.I couldn’t believe how stupid i was to do something like that.I mean not only could i have burned the house down,i could’ve died,as well as my girlfriend sleeping in the bed next to me.Since that night,i never smoked in bed, and in fact i never smoked indoors again.Yea people don’t realize how fast a fire can spread,before it’s to late.Look what happened to Jay Leno.Anyway,sorry again for your loss..
  2. Yea I gotta definitely go with the Griswold’s Wagon,the famous Queen Family Truckster too,from the movie Vacation.I was able to find this funny story on line about a family with the real last name of the Griswold’s who were able to build a replica of the Wagon.?It cost quite a bit to build,according to the couple,but when it was finished it came out looking pretty much like the movie car..I found these photos of the build.The couple said that they drive the car all over America going on vacations with their family,and say that people can’t believe that their last name is the same as Chevy Chase,and Beverly DeAngelo’s from the film.And are stopped all over so that people can take photos of the car.The only thing missing is the old lady up on the roof..Actually I have a 1/64th scale version of the car,and I plan to buy a 1/18th scale diecast version of it.So like I said I think this very famous wagon would make a great model.Come on Revell,I think it’s about time.
  3. Well,why technically this wasn’t on the road,I know that owner does drive this car,but for the holiday season he’s using it to pull Santa’s sled around.???Lol
  4. Sorry Ranma for the lose of your friend.It really sucks losing friends and love ones,so suddenly.Did you know how old he was,or what started the fire?Just curious.
  5. I’ve built a few Duster drag cars in the past.And I just just wanted to let you know,that I don’t mean to take any attention off your build by posting these pics.I really think your build is coming along great so far.
  6. Gotta say,very different,but a very cool build.
  7. Hey thanks for posting the videos on the rally.I really like anything to do with the Dakar Rally.I’ve always tried watching the tv coverage for several years,however finding tv coverage is not that easy.And as much as I like the cars,and trucks class,my main interest has always been the motorcycles..This is my 03 KTM 640 Adventure that a friend and I built to replicate a Red Bull Dakar bike.Its an absolute blast to ride.
  8. Wow lots of cool wagons here.I must say the last two wagons are pretty wild looking.I mean while I’m not crazy about the “Judge” wagon replica,I do like the 73 Grand Am wagon prototype.I wonder how they were built.?
  9. So i was bored and decided to check out some of the posts on here.I checked out the video with the car,and some others on The Gas Monkey Garage u Tube channel,and i’ve got to say that I 100% agree with Mr.BlackSheep,IMO,Richard Rawlings is an idiot.He use to be kind of funny when his reality show first aired,but now,like I said,he’s not really too funny anymore,and just obnoxious.Hes a camera hog,and while I never really liked Aron Kaufman too much,he was the one that show that was doing most of the work,making Rawlings a lot of money.I found a picture of Aron looking a little like Sadam Hussein ?.Just joking moderators,lol
  10. It’s just a little odd looking,for lack of a better word.I mean it’s pretty cool,but just not my cup of tea.However,being a big fan of Jay Leno,and his ENORMOUS collection of cars and motorcycles,and everything in between,I thought it was a cool video..Anyway thanks for the post Mike.
  11. The black and white photo makes me think of the Munsters coach ride.But I do still think it’s pretty cool.
  12. Very nice,and rare Mopar speed machine..I like the look and the stance,along with fact that you actually drag race this car.
  13. Wow Sweden,so how’s the weather over there?Cause it’s freezing here in NY,??.Anyway thanks and merry Xmas.????to all.
  14. Yea,sad story..May he RIP.?
  15. Wow,nice rides.And that Ferrari F40 is one of my favorite cars of all time.And certainly my favorite Ferrari?.I have never seen one in person.A race car for the street.
  16. Some cool cars.Well i’m jealous,and the reason why,is it appears that you live somewhere warm.Looked at your profile,but I think it said Space Coast,or something.Anyway,the reason why is that i guess you have shows to go to all year round.I’m in cold LI NY,where our last show was back on 11/11.There is one coffee and cars on Sunday morning.But i’m not getting up at the butt crack of dawn,lol,to go to a car gathering.I would rather sleep.??.Thanks for the pics.
  17. So I saw this pic of a cat on line that sort of looked like one of my old cats.And it reminded me of the movie,”The Shining”.?‍♂️Whatta you think?Lol
  18. Yup i agree.But like i said,i guess i was “shocked” to find out he was 92.
  19. Yup i agree with u 100%.You know,and like i said,she was two cars behind us,the little witch that she was.But i certainly wasn’t going to stand for it when the stupid broad got out of her car,and started to off on my father and I.AAAARRRGG!!???Not a chance.I hate people who think the rules of society don’t apply to them.Oh man that stuff just drives me nuts.
  20. Yea,your build is coming out GREAT.??
  21. Ok,I know this post is a bit long,sorry.Well today I crossed paths with some crazy stupid moronic woman who really “Irked”me,for lack of a better word?%#+@&!!!..Anyway,I was going to a doctors appt with my father.However the parking lot at the office is a real nightmare,to the point that they offer valet parking.We were running a bit late,and there was a pretty long line of cars just trying to get into the lot.Then all of a sudden we see a person leaving,so we were like great an open spot.We start to turn into the spot,when all of a sudden this idiotic bi*** two cars behind us starts hitting her horn ,and wouldn’t stop.We didn’t have any idea where it was coming from,and had no idea she was honking at us.So we then just pulled into the spot.At which point this crazy woman jumps out of her car and comes over to us,knocks on my window,screaming at us that she was waiting for ten mins to pull into the spot.I’m telling her that she was behind us and how were we supposed to know that she was waiting for the spot,not to mention that she couldn’t be waiting ten minutes for the spot because we were in front of her.Well she just continued to yell at us,just going on again that she was waiting for the spot.At which point I did what anybody?? in that position would’ve done,I screamed and cursed her out,and told her where to go.Lol..But then for some reason my father decided to let this crazy a** witch to park in the spot..Arrrggg??,whatever ?.I really had to vent that.Ahhh.Now i feel better.Lol.
  22. Ah,don’t get me started on the USPS,lol.Seriously,i often wonder what is wrong with the people that work there.What your describing has happened to me so many times,i just wanna go postal on them.??.Also try reaching the toll free number for them,and all you get are recordings that just confuse you,and if you do need to speak with someone,you are put on hold for a long time.I think one time i waited on hold for about 30 mins.Finally one of their so called humans picked up the phone.When i asked her why the wait time was so long,she completely avoided the question,and just said “what can i help you with today sir?”..Anyway,like i said,i know how frustrating they can be ?.Sheesh.
  23. Oh yea,I forgot all about Young Frankenstein.Certainly one of the funniest movies ever.And I agree,seeing celebrities with horrible plastic surgery can be pretty shocking.?
  24. Yea i guess ur right,just didn’t realize he was 92.Where does time go?..Pop Eye Doyle.Great scene as he is waiting for “Frog 1” to come up over the hill.
