Back in the 80's I used to race 1/8 on road nitro cars. I started with an Associated 500 and moved to a Serpent Excel. Those were fun days and expensive. You can see that is a well raced body. About 20 years ago I raced a 1/10 Losi XXX-NT: About 13 years ago I bashed a 1/5 HPI Baja 5B:

Congratulations on your grandchild. My birthday is also 12/20 but in 1954. It sucks being a December baby.

I get these phony Netflix scam emails saying that my payment has been declined. Well at least I have a Netflix account. But I still am getting Netflix. Anyway I also get them from Sirius XM which I don't have an account with. These scams are easy to spot, just look at their email addresses. Here's that other one I just mentions.

I bought a few items from them, never had a problem.

I only use my home PC. My bank knows where I'm logging in from. Even if some hacker had my user name and password if they attempted to log on somewhere else my bank will email me. In fact I had installed a new browser on my PC and when I went to log in I got an email from them to verify that it was me. One time there was some bozo that had my username. But he still couldn't get in. After five failures I had to reset my password. After this happened twice I called the bank. They told me to change my username too, so I did and this hasn't happened anymore.

I once saw some video online of a Mercedes Benz EV in a parking garage go up in flames.

There are other types of wasps that use other bugs for their larva, the cicada and cockroaches are also "victimized" this way.

One time I was watching a video about the SR71 Black Bird. The AI kept calling it the "State Route 71".?

Just out of the paint booth. First I primed it with Krylon Colormaster white primer. It lays down almost as good as the Tamiya primer. Then I sprayed it with Tamiya Yellow lacquer and it was too much orange peel. So I polished down to smooth out the orange peel. This morning I airbrushed on a Testors Yellow enamel. It lays down very nice. It was decanted from a spray can and thinned down a little further for my Grex tritium airbrush. I previously did all this on my Chevy SSR kit). So here it is for now.

COMCAST / XFINITY SCAM with a NEW TWIST
Mike C replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I've been getting those for quite a few other accounts. The only problem for the scammers is that I don't have any of those accounts. -
I was thinking about them too, you beat me to the punch.
