There is a difference between "having" and "being"...

They ARE the same: same features, same colors, same size (within their class). The difference is how much you pay for the name on the badge...

Nowadays "trucks" are used to run errands that we did as kids in a bicycle...

You are too generous: they don't have a clue AT ALL about most everything. Change a tire? (blank stare). Or something really esoteric: check oil...

You could load a 4x8 sheet of plywood in a full-size station wagon... and still close the rear gate.

Wrong finger...

Fashion is a wheel that keeps going in circles (anybody else remembers four wheel steering?). The old stuff gets renamed and pushed down our throats time and time again. The constant recycle of the names of iconic cars from the past plastered on the "new and improved" disposable things that are passed as "cars" now also rubs me the wrong way. I highly doubt that selling me anything newer than BC (Before Computers) will ever happen.

Looks like a Toyota...

Personal favorite is Plum Crazy, but read my previous post also...

Opinions are like that spot where the sun never shines: everybody has one. Just admit it, respect everybody else's one and carry on.

Love the shoe-horned engine.

I remember this piece of advice from my old model railroading days: before doing the final steps (paint, fine detail, etc) take a picture of the model and enlarge it a lot. Things that may look fine in the model will pop out in the picture. This is from the 50's and still valid.

Cars this days come in three colors: black, white and grayscale. That's it.

Vast improvement!. Those Continental appurtenances are just something blocking the way to the trunk (where, I am ready to bet) the original spare is still sitting in.

There is also the Italeri field tool kit to add more. It is 1/35, but tools come in many sizes...

Wife used to be a dentist. So many useful gadgets and materials that I "borrowed" and conveniently forgot to return...

Can they be polished?

I used to do that in my 1:1 cars also.

This one?

Try emailing them to yourself, then opening them in a computer. You may be able to save them in other formats. But your mileage may vary.

I know. One place I always check is https://hymanltd.com/view/inventory/ Usually they have complete sets of pics of the underside of the cars that they have for sale. Unfortunately not this time.

Linux + Firefox + Duckduckgo (can filter out AI) + uBlock Origin= no damn ads. No google either.

To err is human, but to really screw up things we need computers.
