The old Monogram 1/24'th 69 Camaro, I can't describe how bad it is so unless you've built one....

Smartcars are such a joke they inspired a new form of urban "cow-tipping", Smartcar tipping! http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Suspects-Flip-Over-Smart-Cars-in-San-Francisco-254177981.html

I'll hitch a ride in a Hummer.

I didn't know we needed to justify vehicles. Who needs a 220 MPH supercar or bike? Should we all be forced to drive Smartcars? (I hope not, I'd be too embarrassed)

I've owned a lot of early Chevy V8's, and Chevy red and Chevy orange appear to be the same color to me (or very close), no matter what GM called them.

As anyone seen those lime green metallic Chevy Sparks? Who in their right mind would pull onto a dealership .of full of 500 cars and say "That's the one!" ?

It's out, I saw one at Hobby Town today, and left it there.

He almost did a burn-up with his '06 Stanley Steamer !

People who think that buying an expensive sport sedan (contradiction of terms) gives them the right to drive 20 MPH over the speed limit while demonstrating they have no knowledge of performance driving.

Easily built from a Flinstone $15 dollar body and a gasser kit.

Best post on this thread yet.

Yes, I proud to be an American! I'm riding my Harley over to my parents to watch a parade and have a family grill out. Can't think of anything more American.

Several years ago our local paper reported on the sports page that the Pendleton Middle School girls team had beat a girls team that used the Tiger team name. The headline? "Lady Tigers overcome by PMS" The Bob and Tom morning radio show ran with it and the school was quickly renamed the Pendleton HEIGHTS Middle School" changing the initials to PHMS !

First the salesman tells you how great and trouble free the car is, than the finance man tells you how you better buy the extended warranty on that piece of junk before it bankrupts you.

The tube clearly states "knead before using", but if you didn't "knead" it you wouldn't use it!

Official state of Indiana stand, there is no fast lane.

I like it! That Mini sure makes it look big!

Many casters do just that today.

Sorry, but no it's never been kitted.

X2, other than the big block and disc brakes it's perfect. The 62 and earlier cars are altogether different.

All good except the wheels. The Love bug was a 63 VW, so this kit should be too. VW did not go to 4 lug wheels until 1968, so this kit should use 5 lug wheels, although they were the big "wide five" pattern like some mid 30's Fords. The custom wheels pictured above look to be a set of EMPI 5 spokes and a set of BRM's, both are great choices for a Cal Look bug.

I've owned GM. Ford and Chrysler products along with several different imports, and my best and most reliable cars were GM products.

I get by without them just fine every day.

That rear 3/4 view looks a lot like a mid 70's Toyota Celica GT, the car that at that time was called the Japanese Mustang!
