Your first two paragraphs had me convinced that you must know my miserable ex-wife. But then you threw in dementia and that rules her out. She suffered from early-onset (30 years of age) RDS [Reality Detachment Syndrome]. At 73, there's been no mitigation or improvement despite extensive self-medication.

Bill, Vendor tables were $45 each for 8' tables, but . . . demand was so high we sold out weeks ago - even after expanding with additional tables. If attendance and entries are similarly more than las t year, we'll expand to more floorspace for next year (DSC22). Sorry you missed it this year, but please come check us out!

Fer cryin' out loud, Charlie! I thought we agreed we're both too old to be skateboarding in a buffalo herd! We ain't as young as we thinks we is! Seriously, heal up soon, my friend! -dan- -

Lemme guess: Because Eagle Hose No. 2 and Eagle Hose No. 1 were already taken? 😄 -
1981 Dodge Diplomat Medallion Four Door Sedan
Danno replied to RACINE ISHRAQUR RAZA's topic in Model Cars
Very nicely done! I drove a Diplomat in that very color (but lighter blue interior) back in its relatively 'new' day [one year old]. Same full size wheel covers, trim, and whitewalls. It was my assigned take-home car: I was a sheriff's detective supervisor, on-call 24/7. It was a nice car. Didn't look like a 'cop car.' (I inherited it from the detective captain when he got a newer car.) It differed in appearance from your model only by a small Motorola antenna on the right side behind the rear window. -
Superbly elegant.

Yes, we do free Make-N-Takes at both Scottsdale Goodguys shows - the Spring Nationals in March and the Southwest Nationals in November. The kits are from AutoWorld as part of a national promotional cooperative agreement between AutoWorld and Goodguys. Additionally, we (Cactus Car Modelers) offer a free Make-N-Take at Desert Scale Classic every year - this coming year it is April 12, 2025. It's our 10th or 11th year (of MNTs). Merry Christmas everyone!
