Not a horrifying display of welding or anything like that, but I wouldn't mind seeing what happens if this backfired!

This, plus having worked retail and running registers for as long as I have, I can usually be in and out in no time unless I'm writing a check........and even then...........

My Telluride survived a part of it's intended purpose today, being played with by the 3 year old my sister babysits!

Should be the -7 that has been reissued off and on since then.

Lol

Found this still from the show with the Jeep. Looks like is was a CJ-5 instead of a -7 used for the show. May have some old school chopping done to make it look like a CJ-7.

Wasn't the Mirthmobile, kinda surprised you didn't see it, it was heading your way on Rt. 59 when I last saw it.

Saw an old pale blue and pink Pacer after work tonight.

It was pretty much like that in Iowa when I was growing up, always seemed strange when we went back for Memorial Weekend and my cousins were already out of school for the summer, yet here in the Chicagoland area, we usually started in late August and didn't finish until early June.

Lol, I was talking to a mom today who can't wait for it to start again, her kid is costing her a good bit of money in R/C parts

Why not, the Monkee Mobile diecast reissue was brought back out just months after Davey Jones passed.

Usually stuff like that screws over all enthusiasts, hopefully this will be more targeted and have some specifics as to what can be ticketed for. A little black smoke under accelleration isn't bad, but there needs to be something in the law to keep the "I'll know when I see it" enforcement from happening.

Is that thing running all terrain tires?!

I meant not having an issue with writting a bill to curtail coal rolling.

Well Art, that would be an advantage to basing it on a kit of the standard, stepside truck, might just have to tool up the 2dr wagon quarters for it if the more basic truck cabs used the same chrome trim. Basically like AMT did with their '55 Stepside/Cameo kits. Looks like the cab was the same, just different front sheetmetal for each model year.

Not surprised that somebody is doing this..........sadly, I'm not exactly upset by it. https://autos.yahoo.com/news/could-rolling-coal-become-illegal-nj-downside-diesel-123450102.html

Yup, and if memory serves, a standard truck as well as these trucks could probably all based off the same basic tooling! Just change out the cab and bedside tooling between these and the standard trucks, as well as the different body styles.

Well, considering he was at a track he doesn't race at on a regular basis, not knowing the locals all that well, and just killed somebody who appears to be a young, fairly well known local driver in a "racing incident" (which looked a lot like when somebody walks infront of a train and gets hit at a train station, btw), I'd probably want to lock my car and driver up until the police got there if I were the crew chief incase there were any thoughts of physical retaliation. Some else is that if you kill somebody or worse, multiple people in that manner (going back to the train thing), that takes a mental toll on the people operating the equipment, it's kind of a surprise you don't see more railroad engineers with alcohol problems.

You know, I really think Zepplin handled it right straight from the get go. Jimmy Page joined a revolving door band called The Yardbirds just in time for the two remaining members to get mad at each other and both quit, leaving him with "the band", but no members outside of himself. Since he bow was now the band and had obligations to uphold, he had to rebuild the band from scratch, bringing in Jones, Bonham, and Plant to join him, creating Led Zepplin from the ashes of The Yardbirds. Even though they were now officially Zepplin, they had to perform at a number of shows as The New Yardbirds, since there were contracts for Yardbirds performances prior to everybody else walking away. From there, it is now Rock and Roll legend.

Well, I've had more scares than I want from people walking into the street I'm driving down..........no where near any cross walks.........at night..........in dark clothing. Luckily, they almost always are light skinned enough that my headlights can reflect off their skin so I can at least catch that.

Have a safe trip in, and if you have the chance, stop by the store I work for in St. Charles!

Finally finished the first rebody of any of my R/C's in a couple years, and it's already been a bit of a show stopper and head scratcher for as simple as it is Here's what it looked like when I bought it back in 2011 And here's what the body is "supposed" to look like. Needless to say, I'm kinda proud of it.

Somebody really needs to step up and make a kit of those cars!

Ah, that was the reissue of the legendary Hilux/Mountaineer, all metal ladder frame, cast metal axles, metal cased 3 speed trans, ABS Toyota pickup body (with a full bed instead of a prototypically correct half rotted away one ) Mind blowing little truck, basket case originals at one time were selling for nearly as much as the reissue is and NIB original was going for thousands!
