  1. That's what I though Zuk If you get a chance, check out the movie, it's pretty good.
  2. Didn't think the flag was a problem here......
  3. I'm not suprised that the Cayenne sells well, I see them around here all the time, if it's priced right that 5 door should do really well for them too. Actually, I've kinda dug sporty 5 door sedans like that ever since I had that Lebaron GTS........even though that one is way over what that little Chrysler was.
  4. I've been thinking the same about Chrysler since Dahlmer sold them off. They, under Dahlmers watch, killed the Neon and replaced it with the Caliber that really isn't all that great of a replacement for that or the PT Cruiser. Now they're talking about Chrysler not having an efficent car and needing to join with Fiat, Nissan, "any John that'll do", ect to get a fuel efficent car...why not just rebody that fugly Caliber/Compass/Patriot with a more aero body for efficency...... That would be pretty dang funny if he did do that, too bad they'd loose cutomers to Ford or Dodge if they killed one of the two off...I've seriously seen people say that they would not buy a Chevy/GMC truck if GM kills off GMC/Chevy...... I've seen that written on more than one occasion and can't figure out why since they're nearly the same dang thing! AM General still makes the Humvee for military use.......the other two Hummers are just beefed up and rebodied Tahoes and Colorados.
  5. My sister's Boyfriend has an '07 V6/Auto Mustang and as far as I know he's happy with it. He wanted the GT when he bought it to replace his '98 Taurus and that was only a few grand more......but since he's still only in his mid-20's the insurance per year was just twice as much as the price difference between the V6 and GT. Now my sister has a '06 Charger SE with the 3.5l V6 and "touring" suspension and it's not quite as quick as the Mustang, but her mileage should be pretty close and it should hande at least as good, if not better.
  6. I've said it before and I'll say it again...I'd be willing to offer mine up for measurements if anybody in the industry is interested! I'd buy a bunch myself!
  7. Nice looking Grand Cherokee, is it the Lindberg kit?
  8. Ditto on a finely done model sitting on a board near grass.
  9. hmmmmmm, guess it should be sturdy enough for us "larger" riders then
  10. Very pretty cars, both the real one and the model!
  11. If it's anything like the '98 Cherokee (the little one), it's not all that bad. The only ones I've hated trying to get at were the #1 plugs and wires on the Jeep 4.0l and Chrysler's 2.2/2.5 motors with A/C since all the bracketry are bolted to that same portion of those heads. Usually those little 2.2/2.5 motors were pretty easy for me to tinker with, I did hate that stupid little Mistu turbocharger CC hung off the '88 and later turbo motors though, mine didn't seem to run as good as the Garrett they used in my '85 and the wastegate rod was held on the valve with what was esentially a body clip for a largeish RC car instead of bolting it on like Garrett did
  12. Don't know if there has been a second one, I will own it though!
  13. Thanks David! Lately I've had an itch to try and build "Traveler" from "Collier and Co. Hot Pursuit" (Schnieder's General without the flag, 01, and push bar) instead of the General for something "different" at some point:P
  14. Sweet project and heck yea with the red flake, make it deep enough to drowned in!
  15. You know David, I still can't believe somebody actually restored that car! I saw it a year or two after it was drug out of that Georgia junkyard and it didn't have a straight, rust free panel anywhere!!! BTW, anybody know what orange John Schnieder's General Lee is painted?
  16. Looks real to me too, picture is kinda crappy though....not sure if it's the actual pic or my computer though...........
  17. I'm going with one mighty fine model.
  18. Wow................that looks incredible!
  19. Thanks, I threw the lowered Impala's chassis under it for laughs and shot a few pics, I think I had one of the CSI's on when I did that.
  20. Took this one a couple years ago, never finished the Impala in the fore ground either I didn't realize what was in the back ground of this one until after I took it, thought it was funny though. Now here's another I need to dig out and finish, the van in the back ground is stock height, the van in the fore ground...not so much
  21. I'm going to say real, but it's a replica of a long dead or missing and presumed car, not like Harry hasn't done that in the past to us;)
  22. Yea, but that round door Roller actually looks good
  23. I'm going to say real, but if that ends up being a model, it's a dang good one!
  24. Looks real to me, also caught the pass side wheels and I think they have a different style on that side (tell me on friday if I'm right there Dewd!)
  25. Nah, we need somting that might keep up with the Challenger........maybe an S2000?
