  1. I bought one of those horrible Cougars on eBay a while back. As far as I know, that was the last hurrah for the original XR-7 body and interior from the annual. It's going to be combined with a newer 428 CJ kit to make a 428 XR-7.
  2. or Dead Kennedys (Don't hate, it's a band) http://www.deadkennedys.com/
  3. For entire county
  4. tastes like possum
  5. 75mph in Arizona!
  6. ""Get the camry and I'll make yer pitcher!". She passed in 1993. Dumb as a bag of rocks, but a very sweet woman that knew nothing other than loving her family.
  7. Folks talk funny in Georgia. Yes, I have been there. Kind of hard to understand sometimes. https://www.ajc.com/news/national/georgia-woman-orders-moana-cake-but-gets-marijuana-instead/T58OzuiNu4AH42JLg0IuxK/ My Alabama grandma used to say "camry" for the device that takes photos and she called her brother's large Chevrolet a "Capri".
  8. On my bucket list is a trip to "The Glen" and especially to Lime Rock.
  9. When I get too drunk at my local watering hole I play "I've Seen Paradise By The Dashboard Lights" by Meatloaf. It's easy to do with the TouchTunes app on my phone, and nobody but me knows who played it. ? Oh, and I don't want to be political by mentioning the name of a certain President, so I won't. I will say that when that unnamed President was a reality TV host, I really enjoyed watching Meatloaf on a celebrity version of that reality show. His hot mess public persona was 180 degrees from the real person. Enjoyed watching the unnamed future President ask if he should call him "Mr. Loaf" or if he preferred "Meat". ??
  10. She's quite contrary
  11. Something About Mary
  12. Humpty Dumpty's butt
  13. Just ordered some. Thanks for letting us know!
  14. The Monte Carlo is nice. I did a grille wash with The Detailer on mine before it went in my case at work. Strangely, it works much better for me on diecasts than on plastic kits.
  15. I find a box to ship the item in, pack it, measure it, and weigh it. I plug that info into the eBay shipping calculator and it tells the buyer what it will cost for shipping. As a seller, you get a small discount, but I am not ashamed of that. I have to buy bubble wrap, tape, paper and ink to print labels, gasoline to make a special trip to the Post Office, and some shipping boxes and envelopes that I had to buy. I cry a little inside when I put a kit on eBay and see what the buyer will have to pay for shipping, but I can't control what USPS charges. I sold a large scale kit a while back and the shipping was around $90. Was an odd size box, and it cost me $12 for a shipping box that I had to modify to ship the kit in. In all, do your homework and be an honest seller. I have had two flakey buyers that eventually paid, but I immediately blocked them from ever bidding on any of my stuff ever again.
  16. Yup, I think you are right. I picked one up at a show a bunch of years ago. The interior had some purple paint on it, so I stripped it. How it wound up on top of something on my bench, I have no clue. I need to dig out the kit and put the platform back in the box. Thanks guys!
