From 1969 to 1992, National League teams would play their division rivals 18 times and out of division teams 12 times. The AL followed the same format from '69-'76.

That's what sunroofs are for.

Richard, glasspacks, straight-throughs and straight pipe mufflers have been illegal in NYC for quite some time. They've been popular in the city since the mid-late '80s when guys started tuning their rice burners. It's really bad on Roosevelt Avenue through Jackson Heights and Corona in Queens because its entire length is covered by the IRT elevated tracks. It causes the angry lawnmower sound to reverberate off the buildings on either side of the street.

One doesn't need a truck if one lives in a fairly large city. You aren't going to haul hay or large amounts of lumber. People were brainwashed by auto makers into believing that they need large SUVs and trucks in congested urban areas rather than cars. Auto makers push trucks and SUVs because of the higher profit margin on each compared to cars. People in large cities, like New York, don't buy trucks and SUVs out of necessity, they buy them because it's hip and cool. It's the LOOKATME!!!! factor.

They sure are. They're gonna make sure that everybody who can't possibly afford a $60K EV buy one.

You can apply them directly on primed surfaces.

Okey Spaulding sold the '59 Rambler wagon in the early 2000s, not Round2. Moebius supposedly was going to re-release the wagon and taxi; but, nothing came of it.

Like I said, cheaper. Have you checked out its barebones model (all types and scales) kit listings?

Has anyone tried this chrome marker?

If it's just like a Molotow, it's an ink, not paint and it isn't resistant to handling. -
Where can I buy undamaged new kits
SfanGoch replied to louie's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
In my case, it was delivered by UPS. The deskman in my building called me as soon as the UPS deliveries were left in the lobby. He didn't think I'd like what the package looked like. Understatement of the year. BTW, this occurred three years ago. I posted about it in a thread about repairing the damage to the Desoto. -
Cutting styrene tubing
SfanGoch replied to Jordan White's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Get yourself a K & S Engineering #296 tube cutter. It'll cut styrene, copper, brass, and aluminum tubing. -

Fred Sterns always properly packs the items he sends to customers. This was sent via UPS, not USPS. You probably can't see it in the photo; but, the box itself was waterlogged, which was why it looked the way it did. It was bouncing around in the UPS system for ten days before I finally received it. Ten days to get from Buffalo to Brooklyn and UPS didn't know where in the system it was at any time until it arrived at its service center in Queens and was on the delivery truck. -

Fred stopped using UPS because of numerous complaints about the packages being delivered completely smashed, including the kits. This is what UPS delivered to me: It looked like it was used as a soccer ball at the terminal. Both kits were severely damaged and were missing numerous parts which fell out of the holes in the shipping box. -
My then 20 year old nephew's first car was a 1963 Biscayne. I borrowed it once to pick up some parts for my '86 Taurus Robo-Copmobile. On the way back from the Ford dealership, the engine temp was off the gauge. Luckily, there was a gas station on the next block. I took off the radiator cap and there was no steam coming out of the radiator. It was bone dry. I had to fill it with four gallons of antifreeze and water. I then decided to check the oil. There wasn't any. When I got back home, I told him about what happened. His paraphrased response was, "You're supposed to put stuff in the radiator and engine?"
