  1. Do they still make Tang? I haven't looked for it in years!
  2. That's what I thought, I'd feel the same way if it were my Cherokee. If something like tuat happened to my 200, it could easily be replaced easily, but not my XJ. Looks like it might have been a SUV or truck of some sort..............although now that I look at it again, could have even been a motorcycle, I've heard that ones like the Honda Goldwing can pack quite a punch in a wreck.
  3. Didn't you just get that car for a song in the past couple years too?
  4. That's what I was thinking, those things appear to run faster than a person could walk or jog the stuff back to the athletes.
  5. Luckily the only scrape has been on that plastic under engine shield!
  6. Lol, the whole ground clearance thing is one thing I fear now that I'm D.D.ing a car again instead of my Jeep, there's one lot in Geneva that I have to leave the lot one wheel at a time out of fear for scraping..........that's the same drive that if I leave it a wee bit too "fast" in the Jeep with worn front shocks, it hits the front bump stops
  7. No Problem, I was wondering why you put a mid sized concept car up with a bunch of sub compacts
  8. Hey John, did you mean to include the Chrysler 200 concept car in that column of car pics
  9. I'd love to know what they used for the drive train of these things as well as what they used to power them, supposedly they only got 30 minutes of of the batteries
  10. Now that's different and cool, plus I don't need a tetnus shot to look at it!
  11. Are you blind, legally at least? They're pretty distinctive when compared to other cars in their class, especially from the back, those tail lights will look pretty cool at night
  12. Bought the AMT Avanti tonight at work..........couldn't fight the urge with that one
  13. My Dad is a retired railroader, there have been some interesting stories, and even the police aren't immune from such stupidity! Just today a Chicago cop got her unmarked CV infront of a CTA train............a fairly large, polished stainless steel, inner city commuter train........... >_>
  14. If it was still here in Chicago, sure, I would have.......not driving to Ohio gor it though, last year was barely worth the gas money to get there from the next county west.
  15. Gotta agree with the Top 35 and "The Chase", just stupid. More short tracks and road courses would be great, Dad and I have gone to Toad America last three years for the Nationwide races and it's been a great event to go see............even if we sit near people who have had more booze to drink than my 200 did on the drive there, or any of the Nationwide cars running there
  16. Didn't John Schneider also use his for one of the movies too? I think the late 90's movie from after Denver Pyle passed on.
  17. Or the guy who told Dad the Long Ram (over the valve covers) Chrysler 383 in his high boy 5 Window Coupe (it was a Mopar, can't remember which one) as a small block when Dad asked him if it was a low (B motor) or raised (RB motor) deck............
  18. You can always tell who pays somebody to fix or build everything, whole different attitude and not always the one you want to deal with from a parts guy, mechanic, or even a service writer's standpoint.
  19. Weird and cool!
  20. In the races we run at the HTU I work at, the cars like that are one of the more popular classes we have!
  21. Forgot to post this last night, found it funny;
  22. I'd still like to get my hands on the RC version of that little guy that Tamiya makes!
  23. No, IIRC they're made specifically for NASCAR use. but have to have factory part numbers to make them "production" engines.
