  1. Yes! Someone who took the post at face value, without reading all sorts of "hidden meanings" into it! Thank you, Ken.
  2. Huh??? I don't have a "problem" with any car being made anywhere. I just posted something that I read and thought it might be of interest to the members here.
  3. Well, yeah. It will be assembled in the US, which is the same thing as built in the US, which is what I said in the first place... ...with parts sourced from around the world. But using parts from all over the world isn't unique to GM... every automaker does it.
  4. I just ruined your appetite... therefore I'm helping you lose weight! You're welcome!
  5. Maybe you have a different sort of member over there. Even though trading is inherently risky and there are no guarantees, plenty of members still PM me and expect me to do something about a trade when they feel like they're getting screwed over. Of course, I can't do anything, but the PMs keep coming. So if people expect the moderators here to police their trades, it would be a safe assumption that they would expect the moderators to police their buying and selling, too... which I want no part of.
  6. Denying what? What did I deny? I assume you're referring to sites that are online stores or contain an online store. We are neither. Other sites can do whatever they want to do, what they do doesn't concern me or this forum. I said that we are not set up to handle buying and selling, we are not an online store, we are an online forum.
  7. GM has announced that the next generation Camaro production will shift to Lansing, Michigan. Ever since 1992, all Camaros have been built only in Canada, but once the current generation is history, they will once again be built right here in the good old U.S. of A.
  8. Those "thousands" of other sites are specifically set up for selling. We are not. This is an online forum, not an online store.
  9. Wow! No lane markings! No traffic lights! No stop signs on any of the cross streets! No turning lanes! How did they manage to avoid killing each other?
  10. Don't know. I didn't make the rule, Gregg did. He would be the one to ask. But if I was to guess, I'd say he wants to avoid the potential problems involved if he allowed selling... people claiming they were ripped off, people claiming they never got what they paid for, people claiming they sent out the merchandise but never got paid, etc. We have no way of policing sales, no control or authority to intervene and mediate disputes, like ebay does. So to avoid all of the hassle and potential problems that buying and selling would undoubtedly cause here, Gregg decided to simply not allow it. And if it had been my decision, I would have done the same thing. I get enough PMs from people who are involved in trades gone bad for one reason or another... I can't imagine the PMs I would get if we allowed actual monetary transactions to be made here.
  11. Ok, not Marie. How about Richard Simmons instead?
  12. Will we see you appearing in an ad with Marie Osmond soon?
  13. You're doing it the right way. Private messages are exactly that. Private. You can buy and sell privately, just can't do it publicly on the forum.
  14. Geez, what are you? A stunt man or something?
  15. Ok, I see what you mean. Yeah, we're not supposed to post ads for stuff for sale here, but post them on emodelcars. We don't want ads posted here... don't want this site to become like Craigslist or ebay with ads popping up all over the place. But mentioning emodelcars or having seen something there or posting a link about it here is ok.
  16. Lately I've been asked by a few guys about the "no selling" rule. The forum rule is simply stated as "no selling allowed on the forums," but what does that mean, exactly? I've been thinking about it, and have talked to Casey about it to get his opinion. Here's how I define the rule: Example A: If Resin Caster Joe posts "I just finished my latest transkit meant for use with the AMT Zipmobile as the donor kit. My transkit sells for $XX and you can mail me a check to Resin Caster Joe, 123 Main Street, and I'll send you one," that is obviously an ad meant to sell the product, and is not allowed. ----------------------------------- Example B: What if Resin Caster Joe posted this instead: "I have a wide selection of cool resin parts. Check them out at www.resincasterjoe.com" Is that also considered selling? In my opinion, that would be allowed, because the actual sales information is not listed, but only a link to where the product can be bought. In my opinion a link to a product is allowed. I'd like Gregg and Casey to add their thoughts. ----------------------------------- Example C: "I just bought a cool new resin part from Resin Caster Joe and I think it's really neat. You guys should check it out at www.resincasterjoe.com" Again, in my opinion this is ok. Any forum member can always tell us about a new product they like and would recommend, and where they found it. ----------------------------------- The bottom line is that mentioning a product and posting a link to that product is ok, It's also ok for a member to have a link to their website in their signature line. But posting an actual ad with price and specific ordering information is not allowed.
  17. When I first read the title of your post I thought you were going to ask something about making carpets!
  18. Look at it this way. A: The operation is going to happen, nothing you can do about it. B: The doctors are pros and know what they're doing. C: Worrying isn't going to have any effect on the doctors doing the surgery, it's only going to mess you up. So worrying is pointless. I know... easy for me to say, I'm not the one having the surgery. But worrying about it really is pointless when you think about it.
  19. Congratulations on becoming less of a man!
  20. Remember, do not post answers or hints here! PM me with year, make and model. The answer: 1954 Pegaso Z-102 Series II Cabriolet
  21. If that car was mine, I would never take it in the snow!
  22. I can almost guarantee there will be transkits and upgrades. There are for all other Pocher kits, this one should be no exception... although it may take a while for them to start to appear in the marketplace.
  23. Love the shot of the cars buried!
