Not really... I think the best bet would be to start with sheets of flat styrene. It would be a LOT of scratchbuilding, but their really isn't anything close in 1:24th/1:25th scale. Too bad one was never kitted, even a curbside, police car modelers would have liked one back in the '80s.

Exactly... the billions wasted by the corrupt 'conservatives' over the last 8 years disgusts me. At least the current administration is trying to keep American jobs and invest in America w/ the stimulus plan, etc.

Sounds like a lot of scratchbuilding...the '65 Lincoln is too big, the '77-78 Monaco completely different. It would be a complete scratchbuild, I'm afraid.

Matchbox made about an '85 or so police car in 1:64th diecast. There was a large scale (1:16th or so) plastic radio controlled toy police car of one (maybe an '89-90 or so) that I remember at TRU 15 years ago or so. Don't recall seeing anything in 1:24th or 1:25th.

No, I think that was a reference to Dubya, possibly the worst President in US history.

I've looked at them a bit, the interior materials seem nicer than the '05-09 which had a lot of hard plastic.and Sync is now available. ...the styling is growing on me, though I think still prefer the '05-09 design as a whole, esp. the wheelwell arches. The black lower trim looks cheesy on lighter colored models, IMHO. After 5 years of the previous design, change was inevitable, though. From what I've read, though, the handling has been improved w/ the '10, and I'm looking forward to '11 and the engine upgrades.

Very cool..nice to see one of those built. I have a couple AMT Matadors and an MPC Pacer, but no Gremlins in my stash.

I've owned Ford, Chrysler (Jeep), Mercedes and BMW vehicles over the years. I have no problem supporting GM, they have a few models I like and will consider when I shop for my next cars. I would also consider another Ford, definitely a Mustang, having had 3 over the years. Though I also like the new Camaro and the Challenger. I'm looking forward to seeing how the next Grand Cherokee turns out for MY '11, I've been very happy w/ my '00. I'm a fan of and support all of the Detroit 3, never been drawn to Honda or Toyota, always found their products to be too dull and mainstream.

I thought the current Jetta diesel was a 50 state model.

I think I have at least one of every variation of the Revell '69--a couple issues of the Z-28, the SS convertible, the Pace Car convertible, a couple releases of the BM, the Yenko, etc. Great kit, with plenty of aftermarket hoods, etc available over the years. Also have the large scale Z-28. I have the snap kits also, nice to see. Has Revell done retro promos with this tooling? Haven't seen any, but then again, I haven't bought a new promo in years. As far as MPCs, I have only the molded in black '80s issue coupe and the molded in orange '80s issue convertible. The infamous ones with Pontiac engines. The black one is what was retooled I think into AMT's recent awful Fast and the Furious Yenko with a very strange roofline. I have the original issue AMT '69 Camaro ht, it's quite nice. Have to build it someday. I've always steered clear of the Monogram 1:24th '69 Camaros, they seem wierdly proportioned, just like their 1:32nd one. I'd love to see Revell extend their '69 tooling with a '67 or '68.

Probably an IP address (internet protocol address, what the hostname maps to).

Firefox rocks...I've used it probably for 5 years or more now. The newest version improves the performance over the previous version (it could get slow with a lot of tabs open). I've been using Chrome alot since it first came out, though...I really like it, moreso than Firefox overall, though I still use Firefox when on my Mac.

I played the fluteiphone in elementary school music class. Does that count? Seriously, though, I'd like to take the time to learn guitar. My sister is the musical one in my family, she used to sing in a Fleetwood Mac tribute band w/ ex-husband #2--who taught her to play the guitar---and now has a Fender Telecaster and a Gibson Explorer and a Marshall stack.

Please, no carburators..leave that technology in the 20th century. I'd love to see more diesels, but it seems only the Germans are committed to them in the NA market. Gas prices are low currently, so they aren't profitable here. GM has several cars currently that appeal to me, 1st and foremost the CTS (thinking about buying one for my next daily driver), the new Camaro, and the G8 (sadly, Pontiac is doomed).

Agreed...it's going to take years to clean up the disaster the Repubs left behind.

Woo hoo...British Leyland. Part of what killed them was their absymal build quality and poor reliability. GM has the quality and reliability again, I believe.

Hopefully it will go better for GM than nationalisation did for British Leyland. But, the government only has 61% of GM...I expect they will work towards an IPO within a couple years to go independent again.

The have only had one new tool (the '08/09 Challenger curbside) and a number of reissues. I wonder what the next new tool will be (and hopefully something full detail).

I've used Firefox for years on PCs and Macs, I've never had security problems with it, though some versions would get slow when I have 10 tabs open and crash. The latest seems quite stable. The last 6 months or so, though I've used primarily Chrome when on Windows, really liking it.

I prefer 1:25th for domestic, 1:24th for import (or Monograms). I've also dabbled in 1:64th, 1:43rd, 1:32nd, 1:20th, 1:16th, 1:8th and 'box scale' styrene kits..

That turned out really sharp.

Cool...going to be something like the SEMA widebody concept, eh?

I bought a couple kits from Ray at a show years ago, and ordered from him directly years ago (took a long time to get them), now I just buy them on ebay occasionally..got the '70 300 and '67 Polara recently, happy w/ them.

Sham-Wow- accept no substitutes. Nothing less than the real thing will do..

Yes, happy b-day to all..I turned 39 today.. can't believe I'm almost 40..
