  1. IIRC, that Spitfire was made from fiberglass by a company that replicates them for use as displays at military bases.
  2. Well, I know to avoid those now too.....................
  3. and I'm off to the WTF Picture thread on RCCRawler with another one....................
  4. What kind of tires are on the Mustang Harry? My 200 only has T-rated Eagle LS2' and I'm not too sure if I should expect any more miles than you've got out of those hockey pucks. BTW, Have you suddenly notices a larger than normal number of Azteks on the roads around here too?
  5. The driver claims he was dodging an errant driver, the way the idiots have been around here lately, I actually believe him Worst part, the driver had his 7 year ln in the cab with him, they're lucky they walked away
  6. You mean this little eyesore Charlie? http://m.autoblog.com/2012/01/10/2013-buick-encore-detroit-2012/
  7. Well.........insane power in a car who's length wasn't much greater than it's width and wearing tires that might not have the traction of the Eagle LS2's on my 200..........and those are kinda barely enough tire on the 170hp 4cyl cars vs the 280+ horse drunkard in mine
  8. I think it tried to kill him and succeeded with one of it's next owners.
  9. Dad and I did while he was in the hospital earlier this month, he was bored and I was there visiting him while he got over his infected spider bite.
  10. Get enough dash cams here in the States, I'm sure we'll start rivalling Russia or China, especially in bigger urban centers.
  11. It's a little corny, but here's a new one of my 200
  12. Considering the trouble I had forcing myself to sign the paperwork for my 200, which was less than $23k before tax, title, license, and extended warranty, I was afraid to look!
  13. That was kinda just as digital cameras were just coming out, somewhere between '98 & '01 when I switched to my current job. Back then it would literally have been a VHS recorder, maybe with the mini tapes (can't remember if we had that tech by then). Sure would be glad it wasn't in Smell-O-Vision too, burned up tires and brakes would be the best smells coming from that car! Hopefully the car was bought by somebodybwho was a more competent driver and has lived on to this day.
  14. Eh, you were just a kid, these cars have caught experienced drivers out! Had a former coworker tell me about a neighbor who has a first gen GTS. He was racing another sports car on one of the toll roads when he spotted a State Trooper and punched the whoa pedal...........and that resulted in him doing some triple digit 360ºs and scaring himself so bad he went out and traded it on some high end Mercedes that had idiot.......errrrr.....driver's aids.
  15. The Viper wasn't the best car for people who have more money than driving ability. Being short, wide, and having enough torque to show up some diesels......it could be a handful.
  16. Well, these do still carry some of the old Viper's more insane and well..........axe murderer......tendancies, could be a toss up there.....
  17. That's cool! I've got a couple of those Magnums and a Charger wagon resin body laying around here and I'm getting ideas......................that's not good.....................
  18. There's a Blackbird under the wing of the Spruce Goose..............Weren't the Blackbirds also rather large?!
  19. And yes Chicago guys, I know saying it was "sunning itself" wasn't quite accurate for the day
  20. So I took it to the dealer I bought it from and then went to find the salesman I bought it from to say hi while I was there and found a snake sunning itself by the front window of the sales department!
  21. That's clever and actually looks good too! Wonder how it would look in Plum Crazy with a Shaker Hood, Black Hemi Billboards, and body color 6 hole Cop Wheels.
