Mike, that would be Custom Squads. Tony makes the best and most accurate light bars and accessories for RMPs. For decals, there's The Police Decal Shop on eBay. The decals are first rate. Sorry, I can't provide a link. Only one per post, it seems.

Don't forget the digital egg timer to the right of canopy/door jettison switches.

Real estate developers refer to this as "ripe for gentrification". "Near all public transportation" - every subway station within a 20 block radius is closed for "capital improvements" for the next three years. Oh, all seven bus lines have been rerouted around and out of the neighborhood indefinitely. Forget about cabs. They avoid gang-controlled ghettos ripe for gentrification. Forget the ones with a driver and passenger in the front seat. They're working plainclothes duty.

There used to be an Off Track Betting parlor on Second Ave., between 52nd and 53rd Streets, in Manhattan. It featured a full service restaurant and bar, in addition to betting windows. It also had a dress code. A betting parlor with a dress code! Jackets required. If you didn't have one, the maitre'd (yup) would provide you with a gawd-awful Kelly Green blazer. Now, back to our show: How about "Handyman Special"? Euphemism for property one step above condemned. "Cream puff" to describe a used car. Ever see what an old cream puff looks like? "Daily driver" - so are garbage trucks.

If yer gonna be bald, might as well capitalize on it and rent that space for advertising.

What you'll save on shampoo you'll spend on Simoniz.

Not a rod fan; so, fenders it is.

You owe me a keyboard. I blew a mouthful of coffee on my computer after reading that. Through my nose, yet.

Then , there's the "Flying Forehead":

Also known as "a hole in your hair".

Bill, you might find this article about GM X-Frames interesting.

You knew this was coming:

Well, a basket is good for.....for instance, you could...........maybe you can........ask her. This is her fault. What does that wiseacre yoot know? He probably uses a unicycle, skateboard, fixie or pogo stick for transportation. How many "investments" automatically lose 10% of their value as soon as you complete the purchase with the broker/seller and continue to devalue 10% annually thereafter?

For starters, the right side of the interior tub is twice as thick as the driver side. The left side of the fender assembly has some pretty deep gouges on the edge of the L/F fender and running board where it seems to have been snipped from the sprue. You are correct about the fit of the roof. To say it's lousy is being generous. Nice Firestones, though.

Odd.....I was checking out t.m.resin stuff on eBay just yesterday. I went back a few minutes ago and there is nothing listed. Zip. Zilch. Nuthin'.

I picked up the AMT '36 Ford and AMT 1967 Shelby GT-350. Happy with the latter; disappointed with the former.

Slide over and make some room at the bar. I thought the same. The way things are going, Linear B is poised to make a comeback.

"Haters", "hate/hating on" - Sounds like something four year olds say to each other "Hate crime" - The commission of any criminal act is predicated on the fact that the perpetrator doesn't do it because he likes the victim. "Po-Po" - Slang for police. I wish I had a nine iron, or a two foot piece of lead pipe wrapped in a newspaper, handy whenever I hear an adult use this term. "It's touch and go" - Ask the person who says this exactly what does he mean and, more often than not, you get a blank stare in return. Anybody saying "It's copacetic" and can't define "copacetic". Just shut up and stop wasting oxygen. .

If that putz Robert Moses would've approved Fuller's design for a domed stadium at Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues in 1956, my old man could've still watched his beloved Bums in Downtown Brooklyn instead of cursing the Mets for 54 years.

Thanks for the heads up, Mark. I'll order a set and see if they might work. I don't feel like spending the extra money on a kit I really have no interest in just for the tires.

"Based on" - Sneaky qualifier tossed into the opening title credits of movies which are purportedly biographical or historical in nature. It's the producers' CYA because the person/event depicted wasn't that interesting to begin with and the resulting film is 100% pure bulltwinkies. Think Abe Lincoln using steampunk-inspired weaponry and Star Trek-style hand-to-hand combat tactics to fend off vampires who were sent to prevent him from delivering the Gettysburg Address in a remake of "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" starring Zach Galifianakis. "Results may vary" - It won't work for you. Using "well" as an adverb in ads to describe a person's qualifications for a product or service. "Let's run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes it" - Using that line should earn the skevose fifteen minutes to clear out his desk and getting frogmarched out of the building by security.

I received a package from Squadron this afternoon. I was scratching my head wondering what was in it since I didn't order anything from them lately. When I opened the package, I found a free hardcover copy of "M3 Gun Motor Carriage in Action" along with a note thanking me for my patronage over the years. Totally unexpected but definitely appreciated. I doff my Mets cap to Squadron.
