  1. Reason #2 the van has been sitting so long, bad tire: I didn't notice it because it's on the inside and the tread is thick on the outside. I'm going to write a strongly worded letter to the tire company about how their cheap tires wear out unevenly. I was going to put the rear on the front and use one of the rallies that I bought for my other truck temporarily, but the rear wasn't all that great either so I swapped on two. I guess I'll have to check the condition of the two tires on the other side. I knew the rallies are 8 wide, I thought the aluminum ones were too but they're 6.5 wide. I'm actually liking the rallies on the van so I'm thinking of keeping them on and using the aluminum ones on the truck instead. What do you guys think? I have all eight center caps even though there's only one of each on the rear.
  2. The van has been sitting for a couple months, I didn't want to use it until I changed the oil and transmission fluid. Haven't had time, but I have it on jack stands right now with the oil plug out and the transmission pan off. This is the oddest example of shrinkflation I've ever seen.
  3. Sort of looks like the thing I had to bite down on when the dentist took x-rays of my mouth. Back when I had teeth.
  4. That's a cool advent calendar. My wife got me a Hot Wheels one last year.
  5. Merry Christmas!
  6. I saw a Transformers Decepticon Mustang police car, but couldn't get a picture.
  7. If it was molded in red, you could paint it white. Then it would turn pink.
  8. If I want accurate, I'll watch Stroker Ace.
  9. Water. Lots of water. The hurricane hasn't even made it to me yet. The garage is to the right and has started taking in water. My house is a good three to four feet higher.
  10. That's what you get for thinking. Two totally different subjects.
  11. Why would they tie together two different subjects? One is about Round2 the other is about Moebius.
  12. An HEI distributor still has an ICM.
  13. I'm a GM guy, I like the Nova, but I'm not anti Ford and that's a good Ford. You can say to keep extra points with the Nova, the ICM equivalent. I'll bet, as long as the check engine light isn't on, that the Lincoln runs closer to like new than the Nova does, thanks to that pesky fuel injection.
  14. Those voodoo electrical sensors and such are still quite commonly and easily available for the Lincoln. They used that system for like ten years also on the trucks.
  15. Oh THAT'S why my 58 is molded in that color.
  16. Yea the reissue was $14 at Ollie's recently. Someone here might have an extra to trade even though you're way across the ocean.
  17. Most of those four door trucks have a tiny little bed. If I can't carry lumber in it then it's not really a truck.
  18. I've been eyeing the Olds for a while, since it's Hobby Lobby I figured they would have them practically forever so I finally got it. The trailer I hadn't seen before and had to have it. Must be a new to them item. Funny thing, they don't have any 1/32 semis to go with it. Luckily I do.
