Sweet!

That's two of us, Bill.

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!

Outstanding!!

Wow.

Okay. So, when's Issue 227 gonna get here? [Tongue FIRMLY in cheek.] 😉

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? 😄

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.

Every 5,000 miles?

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!

Many long-time participants on this board know Wayne Hulsey and his fabulous photography. He has shared many of his albums featuring his camera artistry. He loved classic cars, especially oddball cars, antique trucks, antique tractors and farm equipment, hot rods, old aircraft, trains, and fire trucks. His photography focused on those divergent favorites. A long-time modeler, Wayne was from Southern California and was involved in organizing an early national model car builder's club. He later migrated to Phoenix and was a longtime member of the Moonlight Modelers Club. He gravitated to his latest passion, paper models. Sadly, Wayne fell gravely ill at home last May. You may know he lived a peaceful retirement in a small mountain mining town East of Phoenix. He was evaluated at the local hospital then airlifted to Phoenix. He fought hard but was unable to recover. Wayne passed away peacefully yesterday afternoon. Please entertain the good memories you have of Wayne, pray for him and commend him to his Creator for his eternal rest.

Correct. The two-part dome is (are) on the clear sprue tree, just above the side windows.

Hey, Tom! I got to drive one once! Don't get excited . . . it was a real dog.

Sweet!

As I always say, no matter where you go - there you are!

EXQUISITE, Glen!!! Hit it right out of the park! Great concept. And you know how I likes me Studes!

Ain't necessarily so.

Sweet!

BEAUTIFUL! Those big old barges were great looking in their own, 'excessive' way.

Wheels and tires look period-correct to me. The really big stuff didn't come along until later years. Then a lot of swapping out changed everyone's perspectives, IMHO.

Outstanding, Tom!

I've been a Verizon "Wireless" [apparently that's how they prefer to refer to their cell phone service] customer for 23-24 years with three (3) phones/lines. I have always had an "unlimited" plan, and although the cost has crept up over the years, it has been acceptable. Until this year. Last spring I got a text message that I had exceeded my data limit and would be assessed an additional $15 (approximately 15% of my monthly bill). I didn't get it, since my plan was all-inclusive unlimited talk and data. I shrugged it off as a fluke. The next month, I got another, followed two weeks later by another. The next month, I got three of them. Each time they urged me to select an "unlimited" plan to prevent such occurrences in the future. I went to their website and guess what - the "unlimited" plan they promoted was about 30% more than my current "unlimited" plan - the one I've had for a couple of decades. But, it was about the same cost as their new monthly surcharges added to my then-current plan. So, I buckled under and signed up for their "unlimited" plan. Two months later, I get another text message - you guessed it, data limit exceeded and $15 billed. Then the next day, another. Then the next day another. Each time adding another $15 to my monthly bill. Sunday I get four of them, about twenty minutes apart - another $60 added to my monthly "unlimited plan" bill. Yesterday, more. They've added more to my monthly bill in the past three days than my base monthly bill is. Tomorrow, I start the process of calling them and questioning/protesting/trying to mitigate the excessive charges. After 23-24 years, I guess they just want to get rid of me. Anybody know anything about Pure Talk cell phone service? PS: I think this fits in this category - I use my cell phone in my car all the time.

NOW what?!
