  1. I stopped counting at 1000. I used to be just a street / strip kind of guy. Then with all the aftermarket decals for Nascar and late models I got into that. Then it was IMSA racing, then rally cars and DTM cars then it was Japanese sedans and tuners then......it was over 1000. I'd have more decals than cars so I'd have to get more cars. Then I'd have more cars than decals so on and on it would go. Not to worry though, I've been told that when you buy a kit it comes with the time on earth to build it. ?
  2. Here's my delivery related story. I have a package coming from a L.A. based hobby shop that I've purchased from many times. The packages usually go from L.A. to Chicago to Toronto. This one assuming due to the storm went from L.A. to Charlotte to Fort Worth but this is where it gets really weird, from Fort Worth it went to Toronto but today is back in Fort Worth. Departed FORT WORTH, UNITED STATES December 28, 2022, 8:27 am Departed TORONTO, CANADA December 26, 2022, 11:58 pm Departed FORT WORTH, UNITED STATES December 26, 2022, 12:53 pm
  3. There's an old saying that goes something like if you walk past something that is substandard that becomes the new standard.
  4. I had to do this last week to a UPS truck. He was exiting the condo complex looking down at his phone while taking his half of the road out of the middle. People here can't seem to make a left hand turn from a left hand turn lane without first entering the lane to their right by about five feet. They drive these little econo-boxes like they're driving a semi. I almost lost my Challenger this summer when I had to put two wheels on the gravel at highway speed to avoid gettng body slammed by someone coming to the right while making a left turn.
  5. Acres and acres outside of Tucson. Looks to be a little of everything.
  6. The song and the style are two different things. You cite the 1-4-3 riff, I would add the Bo Diddley beat. Songs today are heavy on studio production techniques that alter the note played to the note heard. As a result plagarism cases sometimes don't come down to does one song sound like another but rather are there similarities in the writing. They actually refer to the sheet music and compare them side by side.
  7. White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane Time Has Come Today - Chambers Brothers Gloria - Van Morrison
  8. That became an issue, some didn't want to ship internationally.
  9. Burn baby burn.
  10. Well I tried to get things back on track. I should have known better.
  11. Link to the story for anyone interested. Manure-powered garbage truck hits the streets of Ontario | CTV News
  12. I believe the use of warm water and the hair dryer is to keep the adhesive warm throughout the decal application process.
  13. While they have a long way to go to reach critical mass it's amazing just how often I have one sitting in front of me at a traffic light waiting for the green.
  14. Saw this on eBay the other day, same vintage.
  15. Sadly mental illness only has to win once for tragic results to occur. R.I.P. Anne.
  16. Looking at the money tied up in these cars I'm guessing it's just the cost of having their car the way they want it. It's just parts and money. Would doing donuts and burnouts in a parking lot be more acceptable? The world is full of rational people doing irrational things.
  17. It would be a much better conversation if people would lower the temperature of their comments. If something isn't to your personal taste to agressively label it as hideous, stupid and idiotic doesn't leave alot of room for someone to opine differently in a respectful manner. For the most part when you buy something it pretty much becomes yours to do with as you please, not what others deem acceptable. The contempt for and the offense taken at something that really comes down to personal choice and taste really seems misplaced to me. The result is the usual dogpile of grievences that these topics devolve into. We build things here but all too often the urge to rip something apart seems to dominate.
  18. I think you've mentioned it once or twice.
  19. A few years back the Dodge forums were loaded with guys regretting their recent purchases when they learned that "Destroyer Grey" was coming. Many said they would have waited if they had known.
  20. Neighbor had his Mercedes wrapped with a satin finish and it looks amazing.
  21. In 1970 my after school part time job paid me $0.90 an hour.
  22. My experience with the brand is that they spray kinda thick, even when new.
