  1. And often sunny. I lived in Florida 6 years and Arizona almost 4 years now. Two very different climates, but with some similarities.
  2. Too often. Too easy to get online when I work from home (which is most of the time lately).
  3. I do wonder if the new Fusion nose styling will lead to a lawsuit from A-M....it does seem awfully similar. Though no one is likely to confuse a fwd family/rental sedan for a six-figure sports coupe..
  4. The Kia ad was strange... the guys from Motley Crue look pretty rough these days. And what about the Chevy truck ad w/ the Manilow song? Takin' a swipe at Ford.. liked the Fiat ad also.
  5. I've never worked in a neighborhood where they were prevalent, but I've sampled a few in downtown Portland and LA....had some really tasty food from them.
  6. Sharp build....I like Synergy Green. I've got one so far, 2 more on the way. I plan to do one of them as a phantom 'ZR1' using the engine and clear hood panel from the Corvette ZR1 and BBS wheels (the ZR1 kit wheels are too tiny).
  7. Ok, so it's a 25yr old kit w/ new decals.
  8. I'm a Democrat, a leftie, and I didn't see any political angle to the ad..thought it was a great ad with iconic Clint...
  9. I wouldn't believe anything from Faux News..that's just right-wing propaganda....
  10. Sharp build. I have the AAM version in my to-build closet. Got to build it eventually, probably in an early '70s brown or green.
  11. IIRC, Monogram issued a sprint car back in the '80s, reissued a few times into the '90s in different liveries...I assume this is based on those kits (w/ some changes maybe)?
  12. The tall chunky one.. They went to my undergrad college, albeit at least 15 years before I did..
  13. I usually have ended up waiting until the week before Halloween to prepare a costume...for 10+ years I've gone to a friend's Halloween party in Denver...adults, plenty of adult beverages and music..can be fun. I went as Dilbert one year, Tony Soprano another year, Eminem one year, a member of Devo one year, etc...
  14. Too many to count..30+ years collecting Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Tomica, Johnny Lighting, Greenlight, M2, etc...
  15. I'll admit I'm biased as I own a Jeep, but I definitely will have more Chrysler products in my future..thinking about another Grand Cherokee eventually (useful when I move to a snowy climate again) and maybe a Challenger (or 300).
  16. Interesting...too pricey for me. Now if it were a 330p or 512 priced similar to their Lola T-70, I'd be interested..
  17. Wild...customized schoolbuses. Way back in the day when I was in elementary school (late '70s) I remember riding in old IH Loadstar and Ford F700 based buses...
  18. My favorite was the Chrysler/Clint ad...liked the Leno/Seinfeld Acura one also.. thought the Kia one was pretty blah (though Adriana Lima helped spice it up a bit), and the Camry ads were dull ads for a dull appliance.
  19. Anyone know what season this car represents? I don't know much about WOO cars, but do know Steve Kinser has been racing a long time..
  20. As far as Monogram 1:24th scale kits, Iv'e always avoided their tri-five kits--like their '69 Camaro, something always seemed off about those kits to me. On the other hand, I've built many '80s-era Monogram 1:24th muscle cars, NASCAR stockers, etc...
  21. The strangest aspect about the '55 hts is both the old 1:24th Monogram '55 ht and the newer Revell 1:25th '55 have been both available in recent years in Monogram box art w/ black cars on the boxes. I think they should stick w/ Monogram labeling on Monogram-origin tooling and Revell for the Revell-origin tooling.
  22. Yes..not sure why it's not that way now...odd to see no general section.
  23. The existing 'Other Models' section seems like a good place for zombie/sci-fi etc stuff. One thing I would like to see added is a general 'Racing Models' section--there is a 'Drag Racing Models' and a 'NASCARS' section, but no general racing section...would be nice for us F1/Indy/road racing/etc fans...
