SOmething I rediscovered lately. When in a mellow mood, I like listening to slower, darker music. Something melancholy, something mournful, dark, whatever. Raining Gold by A.R.O. is pretty good. She is Ozzy's oldest daughter. Yes, THAT Ozzy. She's the one that did not want to be on the tv show. Does not sound like Ozzy at all.

I watch this show a lot back in the day. Although dated, the humour still stands today.

Man, how do you guys find the time to jump on these builds so quickly? I'm at least two community builds behind! lolz

That would be an interesting idea for a community build! I traded this kit here. Part of me wishes I had kept it.

Good choice! These new Camaros look great in grey.

I use a tackle box as well. It's just convenient for holding everything. Paints in the bottom, brushes, knives, tools, etc in the top trays.

Does The X-Files count? I don't really watch crime/police shows, unless you count Brooklyn 99.

Westworld is back next week, so that will keep me happy for a while.

We gave up on FearTWD after season 1. Just didn't care for the stories or the characters. The finale was just kind of a dud. Not a ton of action, an "all out war" that was more of a skirmish. At the very least, they could have introduced the talking zombies at the very end of the finale. Give people a real shocker to end on!

Well THAT was a disappointing season finale.

Did some digging. Found info. The awesome white Camaro: http://www.theelectricgarage.com/auctions/vehicle_details.php?auction_id=63&id=5522 The Pierre Cardin Javelin: http://www.theelectricgarage.com/auctions/vehicle_details.php?auction_id=63&id=5968 1972 Pantera: http://www.theelectricgarage.com/auctions/vehicle_details.php?auction_id=63&id=5758 And all the rest: http://www.theelectricgarage.com/auctions/vehicle_lot_list.php?auction_id=63

Ha! It gets over about 5 degrees, and my pants are gone!

Okay, on to the good stuff. I love 80s cars. A monte Carlo SS? Yes, please. Porsche will always hold a place in my heart. Even if they've been modded in ways I question. Pantera. Drool. Yeah, the interior is wrong, but these always make me smile. An Eleanor replica. I always find them kind of bland, but I know people love them. This Camaro made my pants tight. Completely custom, just stunning in person. i'm not really a Mustang guy, but these two were very nicely done. Couple of nice Chevs. A Shelby convertible. Completely undetailed. Really? Not even cleaned, while at an auction. Of course, Bullitts. I only want one of these cars. Not the new one. Thought this was a cool little MG Ang finally, I love the 70s cheese of this car, and totally want one. AMC Javelin, Pierre Cardin edition. Needed some help, but oh how I want this one. Wifey not impressed at all with this one.

Hit the annual Edmonton Motor Show last night. As usual, all the newest and latest and greatest. Some of it was great, most of it was just meh. They also do a collector car auction, which I figure is of greater interest to most of you. So here are a few pics, some of the new stuff, some of the auction cars, and a few thoughts of my own. New Porsche GT3, and it's in my colour of choice. Yes, I want to drive a Smurf. This E-Type was in the same dislay as the Porsche above. Gorgeous car. I love my VW. and this new Golf R is bringing the 90s back. Similar colour to my old 95 Camar0. The 2019 Ram 1500 was there in full force. I spent a lot fo time on this truck, as trucks are my job, and I have a black 1500 Limited on order for myself. I think I annoyed the salesguy there, as I knew more than him, and ended up talking to a few people about it. Managed to get some business cards out to some people, and one already emailed me this morning. I'm going to remember this for next year, and just bring a box of cards, and then walk around scooping deals for myself. 2019 Demon. Don't really need to say much more than that. Dear Honda, Thank you for designing and building the new Insight. Finally, the world has a car that is uglier than me, and everyone can forget about how hideous I am, and can focus on how much worse you are. Sincerely, Pontiac Aztek

I have a truck in mind that is serving as inspiration. no exoskeleton, but definitely a little armour!

Finally have some nice weather, so I've been able to get out in the garage and do some painting! Having said that, we've just set a record here in Alberta. I think it's 172 days since we last had a day that didn't drop below 0 degrees Celcius. Was -1 this morning, currently 11. Shorts and flip flops for the first time since October.. I love it.

So I got the opportunity to play with this today. The dealer I buy most of my Ram/Jeep product from received their first Demon. And because I know the owner quite well, he let me drive. This thing should be banned. No street legal car should be this fast. And I totally want one. And I even like the colour. F8 Green looks stunning in person. Definitely not a good track car. It's liek an old muscle car; amazing in a straight line, but not designed for corners. ultimately, I think the new widebody Hellcat is the more useable car. At about $40k CDN less. And you can get a mnaula transmission. Still, I love that the Demon exists, and I thank my lucky stars that I got to drive one.

Pretty stoked. Won this on EBay this week. Easily 1/3 the cost of any other one I've found. Bags sealed, mint condition. Can't wait to start this one!

I'm in! Will be using the Tamiya Toyota Land Cruiser 80 as a base. I have some ideas for mods, hopefully I can do my vision justice!

If you haven't figured it out yet, Rex (vamach1) is kind of the official unoffical Mustang expert around here. If you ever have a Mustang question, he WILL have the answer, and it WILL be correct! i like the build, even though I don't get particularly excited by Mustangs. Bright colours just look "right" on this generation.

Ha! I knew Jamie would slowly snap up all the old trucks! The new Mack is a killer looking truck. Just looks mean and intimidating. Looks like a highway truck though. Unless that is just a representative pic and the reality is a bright red truck? Staying tuned... And I dig the GMC/Chev wrecker. That's still my fav body of truck.

I got them from a firen who is a major sci fi action figure nerd! If it's plastic and spacey, he buys it! So he had a bunch he wasn't using. I cleaned him out. He found them all on EBay. There's a couple on there now. https://www.ebay.ca/sch/Science-Fiction/16512/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=hangar

Kitchen table, but of course that means I get to pack up every night. If I'm fabbing stuff and mapping out something, I need the space of my workbench! Garage is insulated, but not heated...yet. And everytime the weather gets nice, mother nature turns around, givers us the finger and snows again! lolz. Supposed to be nice this weekend, fingers crossed spring is arriving!

Ugh. Still haven't started mine yet. Other than gathering parts. Need the weather to turn, and finally have spring arrive so I can get in to the garage and spread out ideas on the bench!
