That reminds me of what a couple I knew through work told me about their son (who spent a bunch of money at the store in R/C stuff) when the Army reassigned him from Iraq to Alaska.........in late November! He left Iraq and it's 110º+ temps, came back here for an unseasonably mild November for a couple weeks, then shipped him to Alaska. Apparently when he got there, he's looking out the windows then walks up to the door thinking "This isn't so bad."...............then he walked out that door and walked into.........well, what we've had here this winter! Then I was talking to another customer who's been in Iraq a few times with the National Guard and has gotten so used to the desert heat that he considers 80º temps almost cold and has been all but frozen solid this winter! Last time he was in he had to be wearing multiple layers of sweatshirts and a fairly heavy coat.

What made the car so special outside of graphics?

I'd love to see that done to the original car, leave the clones Barris built for the series alone, but make that Futura THEE Futura Concept Car again!

My folks had a 440 6 Pack, 4-Speed, Super Track Pack '70 Charger that they special ordered back in late '69 and Dad made sure to get it with those wheels and the Dodge versions of those caps. Being a one time street racer, he didn't want the car to look as special as it actually was, from both the "don't want to tip off the suckers" standpoint and the "don't want to draw the attention of the police" standpoint.

Tamiya in their WW2 product line, either 1/32 or 1/48. They're definately Ford sedans, just not licensed through Ford.........who apparently hasn't sic'd their lawyers on them yet..............

At one time I was working at two different HTU franchises that the couple have been working for were involved in and had opened at one store then was going to close at the other do to staffing issues there but needed to top off my Jeep on the way. I stopped at one of the Thorntons between the two locations between the stores to fill it and after I started pumping I noticed a woman in an Explorer get out of the truck on her phone, leaving her door open, walking back to start filling it, then we both notice the garbage can by here looked to have smoke coming out of it?!, so she gets back in her vehicle while it's still filling and on her phone and starts staring at me at the next island over then at the smoldering can and back several times. About then the pump at the Jeep clicks off so I put the nozzle back on the pump, pull a 1/2 drank gallon of water out of the Jeep walk over and pour it in the can with my non-dominant hand, put the now empty gallon back in the Jeep and go to pay and tell them that they had a can fire. They thanked me for putting it out and said that it has happened before..........who puts burning materials in a garbage can at a gas pump? Seriously!

Don't know about the rest of you guys, but the first thing crossed my mind when I saw that blue one was.............

At least it's not some wore out small block Chevy!

You might want to check out this video Charlie

Found out my job is safe!

Maybe we can pawn Bieber off on Sweden then?!

I think that generation of Hemi might have been based on Raised Block, but the Hemi block was an improved design that was sturdier than the B/RB blocks.

Too bad you don't live closer to my store, se have a decent selection of those reissues! Now if I could better afford to, the selection would be worse......

We've had some melt off already, so another 1/2" wouldn't be sooooo bad right now since it won't be adding to the piles and probably melt off right away anyway.

I keep thinking of the Kaiser-Darrin with those pocket doors.......

Thanks, the other supervisor is already gone but I still have the typical amount of hours next and the weekend off..........just hope it don't continue beyond that.

Don't forget Hyundai/KIA were sued over questionable mileage claims and lost. They were claiming 40mpg yet the a number of people weren't getting that.

See, I'm not the only one, I'm just not old enough to have been there when it went down the first time

Then there's people like me..........who would prefer the biggest engine possible in the cheapest version possible

I just looked out into the back yard and saw part of it is flooded (literally under water!) and noticed yesterday while swapping that filter in my 200 that it even though it looked like it should be swamp city, it was still solid enough to barely get any mud on my shoes.........I should have been all but sinking into it.

Yikes, sorry to hear that Charlie, hope things turn out as best as theybcan for you guys!

Could be a GM setup, I'm just not familiar with the 1:1 4x4 truck IFS systems. Literally the only vehicles we've owned that were IFS and powered the front wheels were the 4 FWD cars and 1 Minivan we've owned over the last couple decades.

Nkw that this has been brought up, this is an insanely popular R/C class all scales it's available in, kinda surprised somebody enterprising hasn't tried to develop a kit yet..

Yeah, a X-Frame GM car that supposedly came from a rust belt farm would seem to have a disadvantage vs the same car from a friendlier climate if those two were run together let alone into one of these modern tanks. It would probably make a modern car look even better than when compared to a more structurally sound platform (in both in original design and current condition) of the same vintage as that Chevy..

Yes, at least the E-Bodies, I'd assume the Chargers had them too.
