  1. Not Indy Car either, but if it reduces racing deaths, nothing wrong with that.
  2. Not good that I looked at that link Casey, now I think I might try that roadster from the AMT Pacer I bought a month or so back!
  3. Honestly Harry, I'm kinda surprised he didn't, I remember something about getting busted outside some inner city "projects" tower with recently purchased drugs on him back when I was still in high school.
  4. I've picked up a couple reissues of the Revell '59 Caddy for cheap because of box damage, after looking athow they packed that big Caddy, I'm almost nervous about buying a good kit for fear it's in the same shape!
  5. They must have somebody from the Toy's "R" Us warehouse working for them, when I worked there, we would get a screw driver or hammer sent to the store in a large, plastic tote that would hold a weeks worth of shampoo when I worked at OSCO.
  6. That woukd still be fun to do as an adult too :D
  7. Wow, don't see cab overs like that much any more, been several years for me!
  8. Picked up some O Gauge trees today.
  9. Haven't played anything on 360 in a while, with all that went on with Mom this year, I've hardly run any of my R/C stuff and my 200 hasn't had a bath since April!
  10. Maybe design the molds so that the shared parts are in one mold, then have the model specific stuff in a second and third mold that can be pulled and put into use for which ever is being made at that time.
  11. How would that compare to the Mobius Hudsons then, with the exception of wheelbase? They have different bodies, chrome and interior bits? Same with the MPC/AMT GMT800 trucks, having the 88-89 vs 90-95 grills, long bed vs short bed vs Sportside bed, small block vs big block, then the USA-1 monster truck version. There's also the Revell '32 Fords with dozens of potential build variations over the product line.
  12. I'm kinda curious, if some company wanted to do both a Javelin and an AMX, how much could they share between the two kits? Seems like the drivetrain, suspension, separate front end pieces, some of the interior and rolling stock could be shared between kits, then do the body, floor, specific interior, and driveshaft specific to the two separate models.
  13. Dang, that was close! Dad came close back in the 80's out in Wyoming out in the middle of nowhere and a guy on the Jeep forum I go on came close in his own driveway several years back, it's never good!
  14. Mom is home from from the hospital again, plus without any sidetrips to other care facilities first!
  15. We've had to call our local FD numerous times to get Mom to the hospital and they have brought out some decently sized equipment for it, nothing that big for this small town though. They were here again this past Sunday (and yes, we will be spending Thanksgiving at the Hospital), there was even a uniformed officer with them in an older, body on frame with 4wheel independant suspension unmarked Explorer this time.........which is a first?!
  16. My Sister had to do that for her Challenger, the summer only tires didn't have a second winter left in them, she ended up ordering a set of the BFG's I bought for the 200 last weekend from Sam's Club. Hopefully, they will be in by Saturday.
  17. I don't remember seeing NHRA decals on any of the main cars, although some of the strip cars that have come to play on the streets may have them.
  18. The whole NHRA temper tantrum happened this summer and was pretty sell reported, some people think that the NHRA might be pissed that this show might be bringing in better ratings and sponsors than their televised events. What gets me though, these guy are running on streets that are shut down for the races, with police and EMS present, much like the NHRA did in the begining.
  19. I'm sure it's got a nice, solid, clean VIN that can be salvaged
  20. Kinda wish the snow had missed us, at least until the Jeep had rear brakes again, here's how it sat as of last night.
  21. Yup, lets just hope that the Deuce had seatbelts!
