This is the perfect time to get a great deal on one...

Yes, yes and yes.

What a great thread this is! So much good information...

The Jeep photo is obviously a fake. The plane? I would think so, too.

No, we had a perfectly good thread–but a boatload of useless ###### attached to it.

Show's over folks, nothing more to see here....let's move along...

Those online translators leave a lot to be desired!

I vote for 2... and definitely NOT 3!

I try to make my models look as if they could work in real life. My pet peeve is super giant clown car wheels that A: would have no room for suspension travel, and B: would not allow for steering. To me, a model with outlandishly huge wheels just looks like a toy, not a scale model of a real (or possible) full-scale car.

Different specs for different markets?

If you mean how do you upload pictures to the gallery, click the "Gallery" link at the top of the page, then click "Member's Gallery," then click "New Album" at the upper right... and go from there.

In the real world you'd be crazy to do that to a Superbird... but in the world of models, anything goes!

BTW... never drove one, so I can't comment on the performance, but I always thought they looked pretty cool. Nicer than the HHR.

Trading is risky... there is NO guarantee that you'll get what was promised, or get it in the condition it was promised. And there's NO guarantee that if you feel like you've been "cheated" the other guy will make it right. There are a lot of risks involved in trading... as long as you're willing to accept the fact that you might wind up totally screwed, go ahead and trade. If you don't want to take that risk, don't trade! Because once a trade goes bad, there's really not much you can do about it if the other guy won't cooperate.

Life was definitely simpler in the 60s... only a handful of TV channels to choose from, no computers, no internet, no cell phones, no "social networking" websites, no video games, fewer choices at the grocery store, getting on a plane to fly somewhere was fast, efficient and painless (no pat-downs, no screening of bags, no taking off your belt and shoes, etc.), less traffic congestion, less federal regulation of everything, cars were easier (and cheaper) to fix, no VCRs or Tivo, fewer pro sports teams to follow, etc. Yes, definitely a simpler time. But "simpler" and "better" are not necessarily synonymous. Yeah, there were many aspects of life that were "better" back then in most people's minds... but even though our lives are more complicated today, we have better cars, better medicine and medical care, more choices in almost every area. Advances in technology have made many areas of our lives better, but have also caused us frustration and stress in other areas. That's "progress," I guess.

Final vote: 37 REAL, 20 MODEl. Almost 2 to 1 for REAL. Wow, I really fooled you this time! It's a MODEL! Yes, another one of those incredible scratchbuilt, ultra-expensive 1/8 models. Better luck next time!

Duuuuuuuude! You are seriously bummin' me out, man...

That is too dang cute!

Maybe the 60s weren't the "ideal" era.... but man, you can't possibly beat the music from that era.

Bring back JoHan! For real... not the Okey version of "JoHan"...

Not even close! The detail Master wheels look so much better in this case and give the car a meaner look.

Back in 1960 everything was simpler and cheaper.

Very nice!
