Nothing. I like to buy American made tools.

My employer. I requested to get off work early today, so I can pick up something at a freight terminal. I was told yes, but that changed this morning. Now I'm trying to arrange having a friend meet me at the terminal with his pickup and trailer. The whole reason I have to go to the terminal is because work wouldn't let me have it delivered to our shop. It's big enough, we have forklifts and a dock, but the answer was no, because they were afraid my freight might get damaged. The friend with a pickup and trailer is a field supervisor. He had a bathtub at the shop and management gave him a hard time, for the same reason. There's a manager at work who keeps his personal trailer in the back lot. I think I'll look for a new job. Management doesn't seem to understand that EVERYBODY is hiring plumbers these days.

I'm confused about lack of information in this thread. Why does everything have to be a link to some other site? Why can't people just write a quick summary of what they read somewhere else?

Except that magazines are BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH unless they're stuck in 1969. Yes, I'm being sarcastic.

Also- welcome to MCM.

Interesting. Thank you.

Just curious. The LHS has the Revell kit. Not a huge deal. The car will get chopped up.

A couple of seasons ago, I was watching the first new episode in a long time. Before Jeremy Clarkson could say "Tonight!", I shouted it myself. My dog, who thinks the only reason to get excited is a squirrel in the back yard, ran to the door, barking. Fast forward a year or so...she heard the theme music and started barking like crazy. She NEEDED to go outside NOW! Yeah, of course I crank the theme music once in a while <grin>. Funny dog. Funny what they remember/associate with memories.

Thread title says it all.

It's a stinker. Proportions are wrong all over. It's like someone designed a kit using an artist's rendering for reference. Regarding the value of the car, I think the recent sale of another 275GTB for 27 million bucks will drive up bidding on this one.

We ought to make a pool. The person who gets closest wins...a 275 GTB model.

I once airbrushed flames onto the helmet I wore inside the M1A1 tank...tactical colors, of course. I had to take them off because my helmet was no longer like everyone else's.

I'm guessing more than 10 million

A deer once ate a jalapeño plant of mine, peppers included, all the way to the ground.

The Revell Miami Vice Daytona is a model of a kit car; small-block Chevy andI think it has a Corvette chassis.

Can we use PayPal?

I built a second keyhole garden in the back yard. It's a 6' diameter raised bed with compost basket in the middle. It is supposed to be "fed" from the compost and need very little water. Last year, we got plants, but no veggies. This year, I got the idea that the whole compost/little water idea is hokey. I laid soaker hoses on top and...wow! I'm about to have more Poblanos than I know what to do with! I think I have 9 plants and they sprout more peppers every day. The biggest is only an inch or so long, but I think it will be more than we can eat. Also growing bell peppers, jalapenos, onions, shallots, tomatoes, zucchini, spinach, etc. I really can't wait to make home made Chili Rellenos with Poblanos from my own back yard.

That paint is beautiful.

I'll send my donation tonight. I hope to visit GSLMCC and the museum one day.

Kind of a bummer.

Ted's Holdover

Something more affordable in real life would be a Porsche 928. It has a 5 liter V-8 and rear transaxle. It went out of production in 1996. A lot cheaper than a Ferrari. If your donor can be American, get a C5 Corvette. It also has what you're looking for.

The Wolfgang Press covering "Mama Told Me Not To Come", an old Three Dog Night song. I heard this years ago in the movie "Party Girl", starring Parker Posey. I watched it with an Army buddy whose taste was...eh, well...different. Neither of us really fit in. We both got out after one term of enlistment. Good guy, though. I still hear from him occasionally.

The Tremeloes covering "Silence is Golden"; a Four Seasons song. http://youtu.be/rEfe0L4owp4

I love this cover of the Drifters' song
