  1. Revell (Monogram) reissued 1964 Mustang convertible, and AMT's 09 Challenger R/T. I also think i'm gonna preorder a few things through HLJ (Tamiya's new Nissan 370Z)
  2. The Revell kit has 2.5L non-STI motor. The EJ205 IIRC. early WRX's had the 2.0L turbo, but i'm fairly certain the Revell kit has the 2.5L. (which I believe come out in 2004) I'll have too take a look at the 2.5L in my 08 Impreza and compare it to the Revell kits engine to tell for sure.
  3. I knew Buicks where popular in china but wow. The car she wanted (and stealing) was a Buick Regal.
  4. I will preorder a few of the 72 Cutlass's for sure. just as long as Revell promises to include and uptop Like I said before that tooling could lead to an all new and much needed new tool 1969 Chevelle SS
  5. Eminems new Album "Relapse", i'm not really into rap anymore but i'm still a big Eminem Fan. also listening too Green Days new album "21st Century breakdown" I listen too pretty much everything. alot of country. alot of rock (all kinds, alternative, Grunge, heavy metal, hair bands). and some Pop. I got about 700 songs on my Itunes playlist and thats growing pretty much every day. NO!! Chicago though, I literally get a headache every time I hear any of that bands songs.
  6. I'm a little disappointed in the lack of modern subjects, but I'm looking forward to the 72 Cutlass and the 66 Impala. the 72 Cutlass should open the door to some future releases (a new tool 1969 Chevelle SS would be awesome)
  7. I've never had an issue with the gas cap. I always look becouse I drive so many vehicles I can never remember. The biggist issue I have right now it going from a 6sp manual in my dads 08 Civic SI. to the 5sp manual in my 08 Impreza. when I drive my dads car I forget to shift to 6th, or when I'm driving my car I almost put the car in reverse.
  8. Thats my plan if Revell ever releases it.
  9. its looks good, my only issue is that it looks like the front fascia is molded with the grill in it. that could make it a PITA to paint. I wish they did like AMT did with the seperate front grill. its looks good. very similar layout to the 06 Magnum, but since the Magnum and the Challenger share alot I suppose it should.
  10. Model Kings 79 Bronco, been wanting one but I did'nt want to pay big bucks for the Cougar drag car i'll never build, so I got just the Bronco off Ebay pretty cheap
  11. Nice Choice, Vista Blues a great color. good decision going with the V8 GT
  12. Ford through all of this is looking excellent. They won't need any government assitence. they have there best product lineup ever. They have great product still coming, The 2011 Fiesta, and all new Focus (2011 too I believe), There working on a new Explorer. spy shots of the 2011-2012 F350 are on the web. They posted a smaller loss then expected. and they still say they'll be back into the Green by 2011.
  13. I personally don't see much in Fiats current lineup that will help Chrysler, the 500 would be a big seller. but thats it. we already have the Sedici in the this country (Suzuki SX4). The current Punto and Brovo are dated, and won't be as good as the Civic, Corolla, and the next gen Focus. The Panda is also dated. looks older compared too the Scion xB, Kia Soul, and Nissan Cube. The Qubo, Multipla, and Doblo (yes these are the names of cars Fiat makes) are all hidious, and would be laughed at if sold in this country. now I hope Chrysler sells more Alfa Romeo products then Fiats. There cars are more fitting for Americans then Fiats are. although they are more expensive then Fiats would be they all look much better, The Mito would make a great entry level car. replace the crappy Sebring/Avenger with the 159, The Brera would fit in nicely too compete with the Focus 2dr, Cobalt 2dr, Civic 2dr, and Scion tC
  14. bought a Fujimi Porsche Cayman kit, paid more of it then I should have but I wanted it.
  15. here's a top 10 cars list I actually agree with, Autoblogs top 10 greatest pontiacs I think Pontiac truly died in the 90's, with the Aztec, the Sunfire. FWD Bonnevilles, and the Transport (later Montana). the later FWD Grand Prix where decent cars. the 04-06 GTO was awesome even though nobody bought it. The FWD Grand Am started out good but went too garbage the longer the car went along. The G8 is good, this one might hang around becouse Opel might take over Saturn's dealer network. it'll just be called the Opel VXR
  16. its a 90, it still has the old dash, in 91 the car (and the kit) got a new dash with a drivers side airbag.
  17. deffinently getting the 370Z (although it will be expensive since its from Tamiya), and i'll get the Fiat 500 since it looks like the 1:1 will be sold here in the states. I'll also get the Evo X if it has a Left hand drive dash, now someone really needs to do the 2008-09 WRX STi
  18. I got a Tamiya Nissan GTR, an AMT 70 Challenger and a Jimmy Fintstone resin SE body to go with it.
  19. I will not be there, first time I missed this show since 2003, Its not the economy thats holding me back but the failing health of a family member, I should be back next year
  20. I think officially its a sequal to the first one, since the original cast is back
  21. Any one see this flick yet, its gotten some decent reviews.
  22. I've gotten quite used too seeing GTR's, I see one pretty much every day, someone who lives near me has one. The Mustangs nice, but it still makes me laugh too think there more American made product in the this, The Honda Civic Then the Mustang, 10% more to be exact
  23. finally got Revell's 1957 150 today from the LHS, also got a MPC 79 Volare built up off Ebay that should be here this week
  24. notice the 62 Corvette is MIA, it was supposed too be die cast re released as plastic. the 32 5W looks great
