I got this great new desk light for my workbench.

Wut... no magnifier lamp? -
God, no.... I would never get my eyeglasses there. They're fine for your everyday, el cheapo reading glasses. Not prescription glasses.

I received this old kit from my sister for Christmas last year. It is an old kit (1963) and it came with a display stand. I decided to display this one wheels up with torpedo released from her mount. I also made my own prop blurs using clear film sheet, painted the blurs. Quite easy to make using a bladed circle compass and nip off the prop blades from its spinners.

Did you send a complaint to Amazon for stupidity packaging? Demand another kit packaged in a BOX.

Even the Grammys were obsessed with her. Showing her mug at least 20 plus times. Turn it off when she won Album of the year.

And how will these batteries be disposed SAFELY without harming the environment? Oh wait... they haven't said how... -
Taylor Swift... need I say more? She's so annoying everytime her ugly mug is shown on TV.

You mean the Oscars? That academy awards show is filled with dirty politics on the inside. I stopped watching that farce 20 plus years ago

Who's upset? Not I. Im not even beating a dead horse on this issue. Just stating the obvious scenario. The head-on test crash doesn't say how fast he was going. It certainly didn't look like he's going over 100mph. Sure... it's an EV truck - not an EV automobile. Average speed for NASCAR cars is around 140 - 180 mph. An EV average is anywhere from 110 - 120. Throw in a high performance modified into a NASCAR EV, it has the ability to push over 200 - 220 mph on a race track. Thus my logic the higher the speed, the more potential of a tragic accident. Nothing compared to Earnhart's crash - just worse especially with a heavier high performance automobile. Let's not forget... thinner shell of race car bodies with rollcage. You really have to ask yourself... is it enough to keep the driver safe and alive - especially pushing over 200 mph and losing control of the automobile before hitting head-on to a wall or a multi roll barrel roll? It's really simple logical thinking of what can happen. Obviously some folks - especially NASCAR don't want to admit those possibilities on those scenarios. -
I did the Warlock kit in my early teen years. Rest assure, it is NOT 1/18 scale. I planned on getting the Warlock kit again. The Coronet, Nova, long nose Mustang, the ‘72 and ‘60 Vette are definitely on my radar.

I had a decent sized box filled with spare parts - everything from engine blocks to radiator hoses and oil filters. Had another with tires of all.kinds with wheel backs and rims of all sorts. Tossed them when I moved in my house in 1998. Didn't think I was going to return to this hobby then. Now I wished I hadn't tossed them in the trash. I had another box filled with militaria spares - missiles, belly tanks, bombs, wheels, stowage items, etc...

I had some issues viewing but not all forum threads were affected by the bug.

Another irrelevant video. You can't really see it because the crash is too far behind as the dashcam driver is nowhere near the crash site. Doesn't show the end result upon impact. -

Irrelevant.... certainly not an oval race track related crash. The YouTube link is titled EV Test Crash. It's a straight head-on test crash. Doesn't prove a d*** thing. -
Karl Weathers passed away Apollo Creed

Carl Weathers is the correct spelling. Passed, not past. Sorry for the grammar policing. ROFL! Heard of his passing last night. -

NASCAR is boring to me too. Watching a bunch of race cars going in circles... yeah reeeaal exciting. I've always called NASCAR a redneck sport. ROFL ! Now Motocross dirt bike racing I'll watch. Different class of motocross events. Watching the start gun go off and a mass of bikes bunch up, a few crash, get right back up and go. Gotta love the big air hotdogging when they cross the finish line.
