Interesting. I have a series of books pertaining to 1:1 cars . . . with the same titles.

There's often value in staying with an insurer for a long time, but, frankly, some get complacent and feel they have a customer for life. In those instances (and probably what Harry experienced), the insurer lets rates creep up to the point competitors offer better rates in order to attract new customers. It's a little like the promos you see for cell phones or cable/satellite TV where they promise dirt-cheap rates for 6months or a year, but you're required to enter a 2 or 3 year contract. After the attractive "new customer only" rate ends, the regular rate is much higher and offsets the savings. You just have to be careful to compare apples to apples. And, as Tom said, check out their claims service records and complaints ratio with your state insurance commissioner or regulatory agency. Some companies are great at collecting a lot of low premiums but not-so-great at taking care of customers. Having said all that, you guys are right ~ it pays to shop around to make sure you're getting as good a deal as you can. And, yes, those discounts for insuring multiple vehicles and/or homeowners/renters coverage with the same insurance company can be HUGE.

Beautiful!

Nice.

Good answer. We'll leave a light on for you.

Good job! Hey, G, watch your mirror. He'll be gaining on you!! Be sure to plan on bringing it to Desert Scale Classic 10 this year!

Beautiful, Harry! Nicest replication ever of the rare 'Daytimer' option.

True all that Pete said.

Neat epilog to the backstory, Tom.

Yeah. Well. My team didn't even show up. Don't know who the imposters were, but they d@ng sure weren't the AFC Champion Broncos. Just unbelievable that they wasted THAT season with THAT one non-performance! Two teams beat the Broncos yesterday, the Pond Chickens AND themselves. Looked like the classic example of believing your own press so much you left your A and B games at home. Best moment of the game? When the clock FINALLY reached 00:00. At least there's always Next Year. Commercials? Well, of course the obligatory Clydesdale and puppy ad was a winner, but the top two had to be the VW 'Wings' and the Chevy truck 'Bringing You Love.' Both hysterical and attention-grabbing! PS: Quick reminder for Seattle fans: Don't get too arrogant. Don't forget it was the much-maligned Arizona Cardinals that whipped yer heinies in yer own house!

Cool, dude! Farm out. Whaddya trying to do with that ceiling, man? Mesmerize her while she stares at it? Hypnotize her? Sinister, man.

Mike, Paul, Thanks for sharing the pix. Some really great models! Wish I could have made the trip. (Maybe next year.)

Outstanding!!

Very nice!

Very nicely done!

Nice.

That acetylene tank is a real gas! Perfect finishing touches, Harry!

Spectacular, Bill. So good to have you back at it!

Very nice.

Thank you, David!

Sweet!

Beautiful!

Nice.

Great paint job ~ a deep, even candy finish is not easy to accomplish.

Thanks, man.
