  1. Horizon Hobby has started doing that (one of our customers is even one of them!), and even though I've used it a couple times when I couldn't find the info needed, that chat window is a bit of a nussance.
  2. Some of the areas I run my crawler trucks are in either picinic areas and or fishing areas and I find that all the freaking time! The most disgusting part of it is that there is usually a garbage can or two that they may walk right past going back to their vehicle (or they could just take it home!) But leave the stuff blowing around. Then don't get me started on guys out fishing, I've found sandwich wrappers, empty bait containers (usually differently purposed butter tubs) , hooks laying around.......oh, and fishing line, freaking fishing line, sometimes with rusty hooks just waiting to poke me as I try to untangle and or cut the freaking fishing line from around the axle or axles on the above mentioned trucks.........if any of you local guys are in a park and see a fat, bearded guy with glasses bent over a largeish toy truck attacking something on it with a box cutter or X-Acto knife mumbling not so nice things about those fishermen.......it's just me!
  3. Passed this monster on the the way to fill my 200 after work. http://nebula.wsimg.com/6360e8a7a48556b0d4675c697378c360?AccessKeyId=36DBE1E33E4F4470E95B&disposition=0&alloworigin=1
  4. Honestly, that's the only one I can stand and is about the only "reality" show I'll willingly watch.
  5. Sorry to hear his mom passed, their Moms were pretty entertaining to watch when they were on the show!
  6. If it's the same 6 speed auto that my 200 has, may not be too tough to do. That trans has a 4.127:1 first gear and with the 3.6l in and cheapo factory tires on my 200, not lighting them up is easier said than done at times!
  7. No wonder CBS's tv schedule didn't look right for tonight!
  8. Did you get the 2.4l or the 3.6l in the Journey?
  9. Those Bentleys do nothing for me, kinda reminds me of a partially used bar of soap........and yes, I've seen a few in person. Now the AMC Eagle wagon Kit Basher mentioned would do more to keep my attention
  10. Eh, not like they aren't repairable though, now if they had been buried in a collapsed structure after said structure burned with a lot of heat.......
  11. Surprised they aren't making it some sort of Chevy powered rat rod.
  12. What's worse, it'll probably be mostly blamed on the shop that fixed the vehicle, even if they were forced to do the shoddy work by the insurance company.
  13. Maybe they had to fix the body work after a towing mishap, that had to be one heck of a sketchy towing arrangment!
  14. Looks like I will be seeing my Jeep and snow........
  15. Honestly, I prefer the original movie paint, the later paint and that restoration paint looks more like somebody got lazy and painted the entire front clip separatley, then painted the doors off the car.
  16. Don't understand why they don't chop down the quarters and maybe the fenders if they're going through the effort to butcher a sedan that much. At least shortening the quarters and bringing the bumper closer to the rear wheels and maybe shortening the front fenders and bumper in the case of the '57.
  17. Beat me to it Harry, it started right about the time I got home from work.
  18. Wait, they were towing a B-Body on an open trailer with a hacked up A-Body?! That would be worse than towing my 200 with my Cherokee!
  19. Got a Blade MCX2 and have been thinking about building a small (230-250mm) quadcopter. I tend to stick with ground vehicles, for the most parts.
  20. Yup, State Farm did that to my parents and Dad's family after one of his brothers rolled a '65 (possibly a '64.5) Mustang. They didn't just drop my uncle, but my other uncle, grand parents (who had an apartment building at the time), AND my parents for everything! I also have a cousin who put a wood burning furnas in his garage for him and his boys to use as a rec room, and when his insurer found out, they dropped him when his next premium was due.
  21. A Viper powered Jensen Interceptor?! Geeeeeesus!
  22. I'll have had it for 12 years in June and only have just shy of 164k on it now http://blog.fcanorthamerica.com/2012/06/12/joining-the-high-milers-club/
