Yeah, and probably got there faster than it would today!

You were already awarded the "Useless Post of the Week" award... now you're fishing for more? Geez... what a trophy hound...

Both...

No, 327.

If it's worth that little, I'd rather keep it and ride it myself.

Why not subscribe? It's actually cheaper per issue when you subscribe, and you don't have to go hunting for it all over town.

62 here today, and sunny... supposed to get to 66 tomorrow. Is this it? Is winter really finally over?

It was mailed out weeks ago.

To fill out my collection, I still have a whole lot of chasing to do! I'm pretty good from the 40s and newer, but the older stuff... my album pages have many more empty spots than stamps!

Interesting stuff, Tom. I've also collected stamps since I was a kid... my uncle was a collector and he got me involved. Been collecting ever since, but only US now. I realized very early that trying to put together a worldwide collection was impossible! But one thing I don't collect is covers... I already am spending too much trying to fill the holes in my collection.

There's so much salt on my garage floor, I could use a shovel instead of a broom to get it out!

Looks cool... but to be an authentic Mr. Haney truck you have to load up the back with all sorts of junk!

Did they throw in a volume discount? Like maybe a free tonsillectomy or something? Or at least "Buy one hip, get the second one free"...

Why don't they just engrave or stamp that stuff on the side of the chassis that doesn't show on the finished model? Too logical???

What part of "Don't post any hints or answers here" don't you understand?

Vic Mizzy gave it away... I know he wrote the opening theme to "Green Acres."

Yeah, food like that will definitely affect your heart...

Is that Mr. Haney's truck?

You guys are making me hungry...

1950 Olds 88 wheelbase 119.5, overall length 202. 1951 Chevy Bel Air wheelbase 115, overall length 197.5. Not a big difference in 1/25 scale, but noticeable, assuming that both kits are scaled correctly! There's no guarantee of that. They may be... they may not. But there definitely was a size difference between the two cars.

And a loaf of fresh Italian bread! And some gardiniera to top it off (that's the Chicago way!).

Every time I look at one of the characters from Cars, I wonder why they didn't make the headlights the eyes. To me, the "face" would have made more sense if the headlights were the eyes, and not have eyes in the windshield. Not the world's most important issue, I know...

And building a real show car and a model car are also two completely different things. It's very rare that one single person has all the skills needed to build a car. He/she would have to be an engineer, a welder, an upholsterer, a painter, and on and on. Obviously there are very few, if any, real show cars competing for awards that are completely built from top to bottom by one person. The assumption is that the car is the result of a team effort. The Ridler award and similar types of things are a judgement of the result of the collaboration of everyone who was involved in building the car... not so much the talent or skill of the individuals involved, but the finished product itself. A model car contest is a completely different thing. The builder's skill is being judged, at least as much as the finished model. It's assumed that one person with reasonable skills can build a model car, and that idea–one model, one builder–is what every model car contest is based on. Submitting a model that you had help on is cheating, plain and simple.
