Yes, one of these would be nice..

There may be multiple clones also out there today as well...

Looks like there are pics of the S&M '70 w/ chrome bumpers and with a body color bumper...multiple cars, I presume or differences through the season.

'58 had a different hood also..w/ louvers. I assume there are some interior trim differences also.

That turned out sharp... love the color.

I think I first switched from an ATM card to a debit card maybe around 1997 when I opened an account with Bank One (now Chase) when I moved from Michigan to Colorado. I'd had a regular ATM card before that probably since my first bank account as a teenager around 1987. I can't recall the last time I used a teller, maybe 5 years ago when I opened a business account for my S-Corp. I pay all my bills electronically (incl. mortgage and car payment) except for the pool service (I use a paper check and mail it--very old school) and the yard service (pay the guy cash--even older school.. I try and avoid walk up ATMs unless I'm in the airport, otherwise I use the drive thru... Anyway, as far as the original topic--what irked me today--traffic. My commute home is pretty smooth except for a 2 block stretch of surface street--took 3 cycles of red-green-yellow before I could get through an intersection a mile from home.

I do take cash money w/ me to B-J for food... but for tickys and merch and usually use the plastic..

Nice clean builds..love those '60s AMT big Fords..

Cool build...very realistic weathering..those old farm trucks are pretty neat.

I do remember in olden days going to 'flea markets' and paying cash for merch....but I quit going w/ the rise of eBay..

Fox and Fox Sports 1, I believe...

Impressive work...beautiful result!

I'm assuming the S&M Cuda will look something like this...

I would assume it does...the scoop style on the Johan kit didn't appear until '71, I think?

Looking forward to the show..an artist friend of mine is set up w/ his automotive art in the pavillion. I'm probably going to go Friday and Saturday, may try and cram in the Gooding & Company auction on Friday and Russo & Steele over the weekend...always a lot of fun.

Some of the interesting newer apps I'm seeing are pay by phone mobile pay systems..Google Wallet, Square, etc..I haven't tried it yet, but a buddy of mine can preorder and pay by phone as we walk from the office to the neighborhood ramen shop, and then walk up to the counter and show the cashier the receipt on the phone...I've seen vending machines at a client office take Google Wallet payments. As far as receipts, I try and avoid them when possible--they are just clutter that gets shredded when I get home (only time I keep the receipt is if it is something I might possibly need to return, which is nearly never).

True, but that would be a pretty miserable existence..I wouldn't want to live like it was 1699...(or 1999 for that matter).

I wonder if the drag versions of the Mustang and Cuda will be single version only or 2n1 kits. IIRC, the '58 Corvette was available originally as a 'Pro Modeler' kit, then they did the 2n1 '59 variation of it (black on the box w/ flames). IIRC, the '58 PM version had optional parts, but different ones than the '59.

Right..I read that article. Will be interesting to see what they announce. Diecast will probably be in the Auto World line.

..and speaking of new cars, it is surprising none of the kit makers have announced a 'kit of the '14 Corvette Stingray or the current Viper yet, let alone a '15 Mustang...

Got the Revell '49 Merc woody wagon and MPC '75 Dart Sport reissue.

It's not just the Amish, though..there are many people that live in the past in more ways than one and avoid modern things..lots of them on the internet, though...which is surprising... I understand the annoyance, though..it's very irritating..it's not like the internet is something new, or cell phones are new, etc..all this technology has been around for quite a while and continues to evolve...I have no interest in dealing w/ the luddites.

Usually that is avoidable in the drive thru...I try and avoid fast food, but when I do get it, it's only through the drive thru.

Does your bank mail you a paper statement? I've gone paperless w/ all my accounts. I just pull the data into Quicken. I do get cash from the ATM every couple of weeks, to pay my yard service and for the occasional business that I encounter that is cash only (a burger joint near my office is like that). But I do use my debit card for pretty much every in-person transaction (online I use a credit card or Paypal).

If it's in stock, I usually get it in 3-4 business days via Fed Ex...I use their Private Warehouse and accumulate kits as they are released or become available (if back ordered) then place a shipment.
