  1. A Tesla being used as a Livery car?!
  2. Tell me about it, makes me feel like an old man.
  3. It's like a weird mix of S-Truck, XJ Cherokee, and Ford Explorer Limited!
  4. Never seen that style Explorer with sealed beam headlights before?!
  5. Ah, that's right!
  6. Accidentally discovered Speedway is building a station closer to home and work, and since they have been adding E85 to every store they remodel, rebuild, or newly build, it will be even easier to get after work!
  7. We're not sure what was going on there, it seemed to stay fairly busy and well stocked from what I had heard, then just closed up out of the blue a few weeks back?!
  8. Nice build, I seem to remember when that other magazine had a build contest and Marvel threatened to sue them for unapproved use of the car's name, so they changed the contest to use the kit's stock number in the name of the contest to get around it.
  9. The Hobby Lobby by me closed earlier this month, seemingly kind of out of the blue too!
  10. Do it right, it could make a pretty close representation of the Deltawing!
  11. Nah, I'm single, just have a bunch of other stuff going on and I just haven't drug it in yet. I still have to paint the body for the last R/C truck I built, just been too busy on my days off with decent weather to do it.
  12. I bought one on Saturday, just haven't taken it out of my trunk, let alone opened it yet. Can't wait to see your pics!
  13. Because 4 wheeled race cars never crash like that
  14. This is sad to hear about, didn't one of them recently lose a parent and had just finished up dealing with that estate too?
  15. He had to have been "one of them" or he just got that good at reading people, spend enough time dealing with the public, that later is possible!
  16. I've seen a couple Police Prius sedans, I think they are Campus Cops for Northwestern University, just looks strange to see a Prius with police lights and graphics though.
  17. Saw one of these in the Chicago Suburb of St. Charles in front of the Arcada Theater on my way home from work tonight, kinda surprised to see it here, normally I would see these running around Branson, MO where George Harrison's sister backs a Beatles tribute show. Oddly, the one I saw had Illinois plates, and at least at one time, Harrison's Sister was living here in Illinois, so I wonder if she was in town and that was her's.
  18. Nope, not for a year or two.......yet!
  19. I've known him for years, he and his brother (also working there), bought stuff for their own r/c's before they were old enough to work and come from a family that has auto repair businesses! At this point, I'm not sure if he is stupid or lazy............ He also said yesterday that you get the work you pay for, I reminded him that if you don't work, you don't get paid!
  20. A coworker, he was told to finish putting a customer's R/C truck back together and run it after we replaced the flywheel and clutches and reinstalled the engine. Apparently he first tried starting it without hooking the fuel line from the tank to the carb, then I had to tell him to run the line from the tuned pipe to the tank (using exhaust as a fuel pump). He starts it again, no throttle response......didn't put the carb linkage on either...........I kinda wanted to shoot him with an airsoft gun at that point..............
  21. I want to see the IIHS try and do their offset crash tests on this! I watch one of the small overlap tests on a 4dr JK Wrangler and it did better than newer a whole bunch of newer cars and crossovers!
  22. People who tint their tail lights, came up on a pickup like that tonight and could barely see the light shining through!
  23. That is an interesting vehicle, could be interesting seeing them make it road legal though.
