  1. Having lotsa $$$ is a good substitute.
  2. If you don't succeed the first time skydiving is not for you. Internet knowledge.
  3. Better be thought to be a fool than opening your mouth and remove any doubt. Mark Twain.
  4. To change forums I either go to the top, click "forums" and go from there. If I was in the intended forum but want to go into a different thread just click "back" or left mouse button. If it doesn't work for you probably there is a misconfiguration issue or some other issue. What operative system and browser do you use?
  5. Lada anyone? Or Yugo...
  6. There is a difference between "having" and "being"...
  7. 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...
  8. Nowadays "trucks" are used to run errands that we did as kids in a bicycle...
  9. FWIW: a Bocar XP7 shows up as for sale: https://silodrome.com/bocar-xp-7r/

  11. 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...
  12. You could load a 4x8 sheet of plywood in a full-size station wagon... and still close the rear gate.
  13. Wrong finger...
  14. 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.
  15. Looks like a Toyota...
  16. Personal favorite is Plum Crazy, but read my previous post also...
  17. Opinions are like that spot where the sun never shines: everybody has one. Just admit it, respect everybody else's one and carry on.
  18. Love the shoe-horned engine.
  19. 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.
  20. Cars this days come in three colors: black, white and grayscale. That's it.
  21. 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.
  22. There is also the Italeri field tool kit to add more. It is 1/35, but tools come in many sizes...
  23. Wife used to be a dentist. So many useful gadgets and materials that I "borrowed" and conveniently forgot to return...
