TEACHABLE MOMENT? It ought to be a firing-squad moment for those responsible.

Welcome, Steve. From the Northwest quadrant of Phoenix. (Mark and I have the Valley covered from corner to corner! LOL)

Question for Tim: Not to be one of "those," but I'm seriously curious. Regarding the beautiful blue boat, is that side pod attached to the hull as it appears to be? If so, how does the boat unload (or load, for that matter) considering the interference with the wheels/fenders? What am I missing? Does the entire boat/trailer have to be so deeply submerged that the boat floats vertically enough to clear the fenders? Inquiring mimes want to know. ?

Today is tomorrow's yesterday.

Nice job, Greg.

Probably sold a few 1:1 cars here and there . . .

Shelf life of an unbuilt kit in my realm is just about . . . forever!

Outstanding pictures, Mike!! Thanks

Wow! Just WOW!!

That tip screams, Greg!!

Very smmooooth, Glen!

Hey, Steve! Welcome to this forum! Good luck with the Spirit show, my friend. Sell well.

I use old CDs for glue, small quantities of detailing paints, and epoxies, putties, etc. Once they're too loaded up (no available empty space) to use, they go into the trash. In fact, I have a round plastic coffee "can" (approx. 24-30 oz size) at the back of my bench. It's the perfect size to drop the used-up CDs in, flat. Keeps them from contaminating anything else - even if some of the paint or glue is still soft & uncured, or if the putty remains unhardened. The can holds so many CDs I haven't even filled one up yet. But when it is full, it goes into the trash - capped - and I'll start another. Neatest disposal system for those excess benchtop liquids I've ever seen!

Again with the Debbie Downer stuff, Bill, sheesh!

"Understeer" is where you do not want to be, whether in a field, pen, or corral.

Whoa! That is bigly beautiful! Striking.

AZ Highway Patrol uses marked units on the highways and freeways, augmented by 'stealth' units - same as the regular marked units in solid black or charcoal or silver with nearly invisible markings (they show up reflective at night). But their real big play on aggressive drivers is a small collection of unmarked cars - a bright yellow Mustang, and Chargers in bright blue, fire-engine red, emerald green, and black. Sneeeeky. And, then, of course some super fast bikes. Almost forgot: they also run some unmarked F150 pickups in silver, black, charcoal, or white. Gotta stay on yur toes around here.

I'm a believer.

Sentence guidelines have gotten way too soft for violent convicts.

Excellent, Glen!

That's crazy nice!!

'Ouch!' said I when I saw an orange bus and realized it was a new Mustang MachEEEEK! and not a school transport vehicle.

Thing is, why not?

Yep, that's how it works. The vehicle ALWAYS belongs to its last registered/titled owner. Although there is a statute of limitations on the criminal act of theft, the vehicle still ALWAYS belongs to the victim of the theft. Throughout my career, I've been involved in recoveries of decades-old stolen vehicles. Sometimes VERY valuable vehicles recovered out of large collector auctions [although they usually perform very extensive and effective investigations before accepting vehicles for sale - to protect themselves]. Imagine a 7-figure car being seized right off the floor once it's proved to be a stolen vehicle. Anyone with money invested in it (after the theft) loses the vehicle and the money they invested. On the other hand, reuniting theft victims with their beloved cars that have been in the wind for decades is priceless! Occasionally much money has been spent on a high-level restoration. The theft victim wins!! (Does not have to relinquish improvements or reimburse the thief for same.) PS: Although the thief usually can't be prosecuted due to expiration of statutes of limitation, the insurance company that paid out for the car can sue civilly to recover any money paid out and any expenses, including the costs of investigation and costs of the suit. The bad guy doesn't always win.

What are you shooting for, Dave? A 1926 Model T or a 1928 Model A? They are entirely different vehicles, and unfortunately you'll be in for headaches if you try to blend them.
