Boy, it sure would be. Everyone knows you tie your kill onto the hood of the car...

I love the text on the Challenger. One of 5,000. PERIOD.

I love the look. Very nice work! What scale is it?

Benvenuto, Stefano!

Same here. Looks like a cool place.

So if it's "fair," tell me how a deer defends itself against a guy with a high-powered rifle, a scope, and that stuff they use to mask human scent. That's a "fair" fight? As long as only one side is armed, hunting isn't fair. "Fair" hunting would be a guy going into the woods and bringing back a deer using only his wits and his hands.

I see absolutely no reason for people to go into the woods and kill animals for fun. Or to call that a "sport." If it's the thrill of the chase that turns you on, "hunt" with a camera. Or like jb said, if you actually eat what you kill, I can see that. But going and shooting up animals just for kicks seems pretty sadistic to me. Just my opinion, of course.

Not perfect... not terrible.

Just checked it out. Yeah, that place looks great. I like that "walk through" feature. Looks like they have a nice selection.

I was talking about America's Best Train and Hobby... that their website listed only two kits. You said don't go by their website, the place is awesome. And now you say you're talking about a different place. Kind of hard to keep up with you and your ever-changing posts...

"Hunting is not a sport. In a sport, both sides should know they’re in the game." –Paul Rodriguez

Just a teensy bit of overkill for deer hunting.

I was curious, so I stopped in earlier today. The store is in an industrial park, not your typical suburban strip mall. It's hard to miss the place... all sorts of signs and a bunch of red, white, and blue balloons all over the front of the store. No need to buzz the door to be let in. The door is unlocked, like any store. There is no hallway to go down, you enter the store and it goes off to the left and right side... the door is right in the middle of the store. There was one aisle of model kits, the place is mostly a model train shop. The model aisle was automotive, bikes, and armor on one side, airplanes and rockets on the other side. The aisle is about 15-20 feet long. The store looks like a typical hobby shop from the '60s-'70s... like time has stood still. Cramped and cluttered, with very narrow aisles. It does not look like a Hobby Lobby or Hobbytown USA. I saw a good selection of the basics... paints, tools, etc... your typical hobby shop stuff. The kit selection was a little "different"... not so much new releases as old, eclectic stuff you probably haven't seen in years. I saw a lot of kits that I didn't even know existed! A lot of really old stuff, too. Worth the trip if you live within, say, twenty miles or so... but not worth any special trip from a long way away, IMO. I found this there, though... what I think is an original issue from the '60s, for $25.

I suppose you can come up with a few specific instances where a Hummer would come in handy, maybe a handful of days out of the year. The rest of the time you're hauling around a two-ton pile of useless metal. But you know I was talking about the typical Hummer owners... the ones whose off-roading is limited to their suburban driveway, and their whole reason for owning one is the "look at me" factor. Especially when they ladle on the chrome accessories and the wheels that keep on spinning even when you're standing still. Yeah, that's real impressive, pal...

And if everyone has their lights on all the time, how do you catch my eye any more or less than anyone else?

Maybe you need to get a tank?

What "capabilities" did the original have that anyone would ever need on public roads? The ability to cross a shallow stream? Yeah, I run across that problem all the time. I can't tell you how many times I've been on my way to the grocery store when I came to a river and had to turn around and go home...

And the best explanation I have found so far (a Czech website): http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=cs&u=http://www.moskvichklub.cz/M-Kim.htm&prev=/search%3Fq%3DKIM%2B10-50%26safe%3Doff%26biw%3D1580%26bih%3D1009 Translated from that website: In April 1940, during a military tour, was first publicly presented three prototypes of the KIM 10. This show was also attended by representatives of the Soviet government, who watched the incident from the balcony of the government palace. Among them was Stalin and it was he who allegedly sent engineers the message that he did not like the KIM 10 because it had an outdated look. Design changes were made, and after this adjustment, the car got a new type designation KIM 10-50. Adjustments related mainly to the front of the car. It got a completely new front opening bonnet (the original prototype KIM 10 version was opening from both sides up). The headlights are now part of the front face, in which they are embedded (the original version had the headlights on the upper part of the front fenders). A total of 517 cars of brand KIM were manufactured from 1940-1945. Just for clarification: 1940: Three KIM 10 prototypes 1940-1941: 500 pieces of cars KIM 10-50 (two-door saloon) and 10-51 (convertible). How much is produced for each version separately is not specified. 1941: Two KIM 10-52 prototypes (four-door saloon). War stopped production. After the war, in 1945: 10 pieces of the car KIM 10-50 and 2 pieces of KIM 10-52

I agree that the story is pretty complicated, and it depends on which source you want to believe. My sources all said this was a KIM 10-50. Everyone who guessed 1940 or 1941 KIM got credit, whether they said KIM 10 or KIM 10-50. All except for Ken, who got the year wrong!

Not needed. If you can't see a car in broad daylight, you shouldn't be driving.
