  1. . Some people have a bad back and use wheeled bags....my sister uses one for work to carry her laptop and other work items.
  2. I use one when I go to work to carry my laptop, iPod, notebook, misc stuff like snacks, etc
  3. That pic is of a coupe. The roadster kit was open.
  4. In the tech industry it's normal to stay 2-3 years at most at companies as an FTE. 6-18 months is typical as a contractor. With over 16 years in the game, the longest I stayed at one company was almost 5 years. I know very few of my peers that have stayed longer than that.
  5. '29 Model A roadster has the RedRam iIRC...don't know which kit had the FB.
  6. I believe so...here are the instructions http://www.round2models.com/files/instructions/amt882.pdf
  7. That turned out really nice..interesting kit...I see they have the sedan version available now 1/24th also.
  8. Kind of like with Cobras, but with much smaller volume... I figure if I see a '60s style Cobra roadster 99% of the time it's a replica, unless I'm at an event like Barrett-Jackson (lots of replicas there too, though) or the Coronado Festival of Speed or Pebble Beach. I think I've only seen two Tuckers in person, both were at auctions (RM).
  9. Says 'AMT'...part number is AMT882. http://www.round2models.com/models/amt/1953-ford-pickup
  10. Saw a cream w/ black roof '50-51 Chevy Bel Air hardtop, very clean. Also saw a late model Tahoe in bright red w/ yellow Ferrari fender badges and one on the tailgate...must be a tifosi.
  11. For current customizers, I like Singer: and Icon:
  12. Today-- a black Ferrari F430, a red Ferrari F430, an orange Tesla roadster (those are uncommon to see compared to the Model S), a clean dark green '70 Impala Custom Coupe, a white Rolls Royce Phantom (2nd Phantom I've seen this week), an orange w/ black CF roof E92 BMW M3 Lime Rock Edition..
  13. Would be very nice, I'd love to see one. But Round 2 and Moeibus only do vintage subjects for the most part now..unfortunately, the US modeling market is skewed towards older builders and older subjects. Modern subjects are an afterthought beyond a few token usual subjects (Camaro, Mustang, Challenger, Corvette).... those of us that like modern subjects continue to be ignored.
  14. I think the 57 TBird is a 1/18th diecast
  15. Yes..Auto World has done some very neat subjects in 1/64th diecast recently...they did a '75 Coupe de Ville..
  16. Ah, yeah..that's a Dodge..was looking at it on my phone and the pic was tiny...curious.
  17. Probably over $100.00.
  18. I wonder why there appears to be a '59 Cadillac body and a Chrysler Turbine car body sitting by the Moiebus kits..?
  19. I assume it will be a preassembled diecast, since it's presented as an Auto World product. Looks like it's going to be nice.
  20. It's been a while since the 32 Victoria has been reissued. Nice to see the 69 Cougar back again.
  21. Love the styling. Much nicer than the ugly, angry robot styling Lamborghini has recently had.
  22. This morning at 5:30 when out with the dogs it really felt like fall...cool, down in the 60s. The next 6-7 months is my favorite time of year here.
  23. IIRC, when I got the 50 inch HDTV I was able to bring it home in my Jeep w/ the back seat folded down. Had to have the 65 inch one delivered.
