  1. i am looking forward to one that is not super warped and needs instant glue and pressure to be in place right
  2. i was able to find my wife the exact car she wanted, a new 2022 chevy malibu rs. we were able to get a great deal on the car and didnt have to pay the price gouge that some dealers are charging. she is very excited. we picked it up saturday she said its definitely the nicest car she has owned
  3. i got lucky with my new ranger. i looked online at the colorado and there was only one really far away it was base model. i looked at the ranger online and filled out some stuff on ford site. the dealer 2 minutes from my house called me and told me they had a cancelled special order, so i went the next day and i fell in love with it and bought it that night. the colorado was my dream truck and i ended up liking the ford more. shocked me. i just hope we can get lucky with finding one for my wife
  4. this had me so mad, i actually complained to corporate chevy. i never complain about stuff to anyone. i normally just grumble, but leave it at that. my wife needs a car and the chevy dealership had one coming in soon. i called and asked if it was still available. if it was available, can i put a deposit on it. they said they think i can do it over the phone, but they will let me know. i said i can come in now, and they said just wait for us to call you. about 5 hours later they call back and say you need to come in and she made an appointment for me, and i said ok, but can you make sure to not sell it until i get there. she said no problem, i will tell everyone that its sold and not to sell it. i l get there early and they tell me they sold it, and the salesman bragged that they sold it for 5000 more than msrp. i was so mad, i said i told them i was coming now, and he was like we dont hold it unless you put a deposit, and i said, i tried at 10am and i was told not to come in until i get called, and then i told them i was coming. corp chevy said they will share my experience with the dealership customer satisfaction person, but i dont think they care either i dont know. i just so mad, i should have just went instead of calling i guess, but i am glad they arent getting my money update: i just read yelp, they have a 1.5 rating, with only 1 good review the rest were 1 and 2. i guess we dodged a bullet
  5. are these still available? where do you get them?
  6. yeah, that is what im feeling too
  7. i can get a custom plate on my pickup, but they wouldnt let me transfer the plate. i dont know if they would cancel it as a car and let me use it as a truck. honestly, i am not too concerned about a custom plate anymore. in my mustang gt i had "move it" spelled in mirror image so if you saw my plate on the rear view it would be spelled visible... kind of like ambulance is spelled mirror image on the front of ambulances. i was surprised it wasnt taken
  8. thank you. only disappointment is my beetle that i traded in had a custom plate, but was not transferable since it went from car to truck. my plate said MILES was fun while it lasted
  9. Here is the picture
  10. I traded in my 2019 beetle for a new 2022 ranger 4x4 xl with the stx package. I sold my beetle for 2000 dollars more than I paid for it when I bought it new and it had 23000 miles on it I had to pay sticker for the ford but I’m very happy with the ranger. I was looking at the Colorado but the ranger was much nicer
  11. i had an interesting thing happen. i ordered some expensive items, one was shipped ups and the other fedex. both said signature required by person 21 or older. when the shipment arrived, i got the package from the driver, and for fedex i asked, do i need to sign, and she said no, i signed for you. for ups, i also didnt have to sign. he gave me the package and left. i am very surprised that they are signing for me
  12. I had 2 really bad cars. One was a 2017 mustang gt. I owned it for 1 year and it wan in the shop for a total of 6 months during the year. the other was an rx8. It had a lot of problems. I owned it for 2 years and had 20 something work orders. The dealership knew me by my voice when I called and knew my face when I came in. I had always dreamed of owning a mustang so it was truly a disappointment that I had so many issues. these days I rarely drive so I been saying that I want to just sell my car
  13. i was able to get the ps5 at walmart.com they had the best method of all that i saw. basically at noon today they said it would be available. i kept refreshing and right at noon it loaded saying that i am in line and there is a 6 minute wait. once my 6 minute wait was up, it said i have 10 minutes to complete the order. i was able to relax and pick everything without having to rush. every vendor should have been like this. on a side note, i had it in my phone too and i clicked it 1 or 2 seconds later and it said sorry sold out, but we can keep you in line in case there is one available. it will arrive in may, but i am so excited
  14. I wish it was 2 doors and had a removable roof like old ones
  15. i am so mad. so mad. i kept reading that target would have the ps5 in stock this week at 7am. i kept waking up early and checking. finally today it shows in stock, i add it to my cart and check out and my card was declined. i get a text that says fraud alert, did you try to spend 500 dollars at target, reply yes. i replied yes. it says ok, you can use your card again in 3 minutes and make your purchase again 3 minutes later. sold out. ugg TDBANK. they did this when i tried to buy a computer too last year. i am so sick of their fraud garbage
  16. on the page, there was no add to cart, button. the site said this is reserved for the total membership members only. join the membership to buy this item. amazon had it today too, and i had it in my cart like 6 times, and everytime it would fail to get to the next page. finally it was marked as sold out. i think im going to give up for a while on trying to get it. i really only want to play a couple of games.
  17. i had been looking for a playstation 5 off and on for a while. today best buy had them online in stock. however, you needed to be a member of the 200 dollar per year total tech membership, which gives you access to hard to find items like the ps5. basically i would have needed to spend 200 dollars, just to be able to buy a 500 gaming system. i can just go to stockx and get it cheaper. i been trying to pay retail only
  18. This is my Tamiya Rx7 r1 model. It has a custom spoiler to match the spirit r Was a good kit to build, box stock except spoiler and license plate
  19. i have played all of the forza horizon games. they are my favorite
  20. I use a drop of model master glue. I let it sit without putting the piece on it for about 1 minute. Then after a minute I put the piece on and hold it stead for a minute. The I put the whole window face down on napkin and let gravity keep it in place until fully dry.
  21. This sounds like the focus rs head problems
  22. https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/74078brush/index.htm does anyone have the tamiya dust brush? does it work well on cleaning dust before painting. i have been using the airbrush to clean it but it doesnt work well
  23. i got an auto art nissan skyline r34 in millenium jade color. it is my absolute favorite color for this car. i got the one with the gold bbs rims. i couldnt find the stock rims version, but this one is really terrific. if the rims were not gold, it would be perfect
  24. haha. the headlight fell off in the picture
  25. I had a really bad experience with this paint. I am not sure what happened but the paint went on clean but when I checked it a couple hours later the paint was a complete mess. The silver didn’t take in the middle and all the paint pushed to sides. I sanded it down and spray again. It looked ok but the paint didn’t shine. It wasn’t completely smooth. I should have just stripped it and went again it looks ok but really is probably the worst paint job I have done in a long time i have another spare body so I might try again.
