It would be nice if we didn't have to look over our shoulders in case we had to take cover on the other side of the van and 200 because of any possible stray fireworks. Just glad it been ranining so much around here, less chance of something catching fire.

'33-'34 Pro Street Ford yesterday, then a '55 or '56 Ford 2dr sedan tonight at the gas station Dad and I changed his flat at.

Be glad you guys weren't helping Dad and I changing the flat tire on his van tonight, we were in a gas station lot and had multiple mortors going off a couple blocks away while we were trying to get it up the tires swapped around, then back on the ground so we could head home to the gun power fog tht surrounds home........

Sounds like most of the anti-PC crybabies that have suddenly appeared

Sadly, that is probably one of the most accurate things you can teach somebody on the topic of driving.............

Speaking of displeased, fireworks are a booming tonight........

No offence, I agree with you there 100%

I think the Chevy and Ford vans came after GMC dropped their sponsorship of the show and stopped supplying new vans and they actually had to provide their own like on Dukes of Hazzard.

Actually, I'm kinds curious too! I do plan on buying a couple more snap kits and a 1/16 through work once they become available again, but have no interest in selling them.......not sure what I'll do with them, one might become the black, pre-Duke version of the car from "Happy Birthday General Lee" though.

What's irking me...........people whining about "PC"........

I've been telling people that have mentioned this that this is just greed and stupidity, maybe a little ignorance too........

I swear as soon as I read this thread the other day, then all the outside of Illinois fireworks store ads started to play on the and radio around here!

It had to be the toys, all the ones I had were all black with the red stripe, although the AMT kits have always showed that it was the 3 color job instead.

Yeah, the Gunmetal/Red Stripe/Black is right, but a lot of the toys were just black with a red stripe sticker or tampo print. Never noticed the movie van was like that too, though.

Can we get an "All of the above"?

My Sister's boyfriend typically drives the 20 year old Camry that his family owns, but has also had the suspension rebuilt on it twice in the time they've had it, and luckily doesn't have the V-6 that tended to sludge up and fail on owners, that Toyota usually blamed on said owners, even if there were maintenence records showing regular oil changes.

Finally got a haircut, with all the stuff that's been going on and the place I normally going kinda getting pushed out of business, I haven't had one since October or November!

Outside of the color and back window, I like that.

It's just retail, can't always be that lucky.

Bought a motor and servo for the scale R/C K5 Blazer I started building, had it on the counter at work to bring home when we closed.........realized when I got to car, I realized they were still on the counter.......didn't feel like resetting the alarm on the store to go in get them and since I work tomorrow anyway, I figured I'd just bring them home tomorrow night........maybe I'll put them in the trunk then I take my lunch!

I bought 6-7 of those '88 Daytona kits for myself when RC2 reissued it last.

Not sure about that one, how many people are old enough without being too senile to remember those things anyway? I haven't seen one in person in a couple decades now!

I hear you on that, my Mom has been in and out of the hospital and a few different nursing facilities since Easter, half of which were a ways from home or work too. Lately we've spent a lot of time everywhere but home because of that as well as a lot of money in fuel for my Sister and myself.

One of the three construction projects that has been making a mess of my drive to work appears to finally be done!
