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..

They probably just swapped in the body from the F&F kit...it had a stock '69 Charger body, with the tunneled rear window, though not as nice as the Revell body. Sound like they are using the phrase 'all new' very, very loosely.

Yes..Revell did a great job on the '05-09 style Mustangs, but I want to see kits of the '10 GT and GT500. And the '10 Camaro is out now in 1:1, where are the models??? Anyway, good to see some new vintage drag kits...I'm sure these will sell well w/ the gray hairs.

This was the best thing I saw today: International Automobile Federation (FIA) president Max Mosley reportedly sent a letter to Ferrari president and Formula One Teams Association chairman Luca Cordero di Montezemolo demanding an apology for remarks that the Englishman had been forced out of office and had behaved like a dictator. From f1total.net www.f1total.net Great drama!

Well, he had a massive, global fan base and was the biggest pop star of the '80s...sold a lot of music. Kind of like how Elvis was to his generation, but likely bigger in terms of sales. Having grown up in the MTV era, he was everywhere for a few years there. Huge. Not really my thing, though, I was (and am still) more into rock... Sadly, with these events happening the same day, Farrah is a footnote on the news tonight.

I wasn't a huge fan, but he was definitely a big deal when I was growing up, back when MTV actually showed music videos and was a lot of fun.

F&F resin did a '69 wagon years ago, I have one in my to-build resin collection. I'd love to see a '70 El Camino and '70 wagon.

I wonder when the new season starts on BBC America. I do wish they would show them concurrently w/ the UK showings.

Maybe they can get his American cousin, 'Big Stig', to come to the UK for the show..

I would, but it's unbuilt and boxed up with the rest of my collection, 900 miles away.. I believe someone did post pics of a built up one somewhere on here in the last 6 months, though.

Apology accepted.
