Well, since I bought a house this year I will have no accuse not to set up a model building table and get back to it.

I did get the Feb issues a few days ago. RIP to a cool mag.

Hemming's killed their "Clastic Car" mag as well. It's being combined with Motor News like the Muscle mag. Guess now the only mag I still get in the mail is Old Cars. Funny though they still have the site as oldcarweekly but it's bi-monthly now. https://www.oldcarsweekly.com/

Oh Man.....poor old Bug. That makes me sad.

Agreed. Just seemed a bit flat. Did not learn anything new so for me it was a waste of time. I should have listened to myself after the first episode when I thought, meh, I guess I'll keep watching.

Reminds me of the Hotwheels crazies. I sold a "new" HW once on the bay for for $45 cause "I got to have it before you". Of course I paid only a dollar. Love those people.

Wicked stuff! If that were real I'd just make sure she ran and slap of coat of matte clear on it and drive. It's only original once.

Not sure when I'll retire. I turned 60 this year and would like to retire at 68. Not sure if I can but it would be nice. And I will never be board after retirement as I have 5 hobby's....LOL

WOW!!!! Way cool! When my GF back in the 90's needed a new car we went to the Ford dealer to look at these and she leased a 4-door with the optional V6 with auto trans, the 4 banger was slow as a snail with the auto. While we were there I test drove the 2 door with the V6 and 5 speed. Man that little thing was quick.

Right! I drove that little guy up to the store and bought 8 gals of milk and 6 loafs of bread for the neighbors as my Bug was the only car that could make it there....LOL

Me and my Bug winter of 1980.......18" of snow.........!

My favorite brew........yum!!!!

I just had too..............Google AI says........... While plastic model kits can be considered a form of toy, they are generally categorized more as a hobbyist item due to the assembly process required, which involves cutting, gluing, painting, and detailed building, rather than simple play with a pre-built toy; most model kits are designed primarily for display once completed. Key points about plastic model kits: Assembly needed: Unlike most toys, plastic model kits come in parts that need to be assembled by the user, often requiring tools and skill. Hobbyist focus: The primary audience for model kits are hobbyists who enjoy the process of building and detailing the model. Display purpose: Most model kits are built with the intention of being displayed as a finished product, not for active play. However, some exceptions exist: "Build 'N Play" kits: Certain model kits, especially those marketed towards younger children, are designed to be more playable with features like rolling wheels or moving parts. Action figures: Some plastic model kits can be built into action figures that can be played with after assembly.

Last time I drove my 88 5.0 vert a long distance was in 2014 from St. Louis to Charlotte, NC for the Mustang's 50th B-Day. She also went to the 35th in 1999 (Charlotte) and the 40th in 2004 (Nashville). Drove great each time and got about 24-26 mpg.

Always loved that design. Too bad peeps did not like it when introduced. Too radical for the time but ultra safe design. Here is footage dumped off cliff and then being started and driven away!

So yeah......looks like I need it all. Furnace and AC. $12,700. Someone put a 3 ton AC unit, WAY too oversized. No wonder my AC cost so much to run. New stuff should be around 20-30% more efficient. I look at it this way. I'll have peace of mind to spend to the rest of my life here with new stuff.

Oh boy. Need a new furnace. The one in my new house was installed in 1993 and WAY over sized for a 900 sq foot home. AC is newer so I hope it will be OK. I'll find out how much in the next hour when the project manager comes to evaluate. Thinking somewhere between 4-5k. Oy!

Neat! I also like those faux T-Tops.

Very nice custom. Color is amazing and I like the items in back.

RIP.....Bobby. I just bought a 12 pack of High Life (in bottles of course) last night so I'll have few with dinner tonight.

I ordered a few things I will need later just in case and I'm going to buy a baseboard heater for my bedroom anyway before the serious cold weather hits, nothing model related. As "Ace" said I too have enough models to last me till death.

I would much rather put that money into my real 88 5.0 vert and make it like new than have one of those stupid things. But then I do not play golf.

When I owned my 78 Mustang, black with tan interior, a friend had a 77 Maro, black with tan interior. I've built my 78 but would love to add the 77 Maro.

Look forward to unpacking my builds from my move and retaking pics for this. LOVE the 4-eye!

Amen to that. Big fan here as well.
