Thanks for your input. I hadn't even looked at anything from a doing-it standpoint yet, so this is very helpful.

Hmmmmmm...doesn't look like any Lotus I ever saw.

Sale prices usually still leave plenty of profit margin for the seller, but tend to make the shopper believe they're getting a special deal when they're in reality just paying a fair price for an item without excessive markup.

Network talking heads are beginning to lose some of their following, and are being taken to task for their rather cavalier treatment of the truth.

Yup. But it has all the old "Styline" parts, which can be pretty cool.

You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose.

That does not compute.

All the interest on another thread in a '62 Ford got me jonesin' for some early '60s American iron (I have a lot of builtups, some nice, some gloobombs, but not many cherries), so I let one of these follow me home. Plan is to build a mildly hotted up Starliner using remains of a short-shotted '60 body (roof) and chassis.

"Forgiven" is something I've so far been unable to do concerning a few people in my past who really had no excuse for what they did, and never any remorse.

Historic Racing Miniatures did a beautiful 1/24 scale resin full kit, but they're expensive if you can find one. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/historic-racing-miniatures-hrm103-cheetah--1112077 I recently bought a Cox 1/24 slotcar to convert to a static model, but it'll need a scratchbuilt frame, and a lot of kitbashing. The Cox body is rumored to have been the basis for the body in the HRM kit, but I can't confirm or refute this.

Fear is the mind-killer.

A coward dies a thousand deaths.

Only guitar I ever had was a Goya acoustic. Can't remember what kind of bass. Guess I'm not qualified to express an opinion.

Then the brutes of Christmas-future ran in, shouting "hi!! hi!! hi!!" as they karate-kicked poor Santa and Rudolph into ghosts of Christmas-past.

Hard one. To me it would probably depend on the guy's history, other "legal" issues, whether he's had similar priors, etc. Trying to determine if he's a one-and-done kind of moron, or a habitual irresponsible violator making a string of bad decisions that cause harm to others is a tough call. Past behavior is very often...but not always...an accurate predictor of future behavior.

Karate and cologne won't help you to dream of Horatio's philosophy of old spicy wee little brutes.

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

Do I get points for guessing the color?

"Did somebody say partaaay?"

Steal from me once, shame on you; steal from me twice...nope.

OMG!!!! OMG!!!! I DIDN'T GET ONE THE FIRST DAY!!!! MUST PANIC AND PAY AT LEAST DOUBLE ASAP!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!

Especially when you can buy what looks like a decent resin repop for $50. https://www.modelroundup.com/1962-Ford-Galaxy-2-Door-Sedan-p/jim-nb341.htm EDIT: Of course the resin repop doesn't include all the "Styline" parts in the original kit, or the motorcycle engine, but if you want to build a box-stock or custom '62 Ford, you have a place to start.

Sentence "journalists" who intentionally lie, or who just don't bother to check the accuracy of what they repeat before saying or writing it, to a one way trip through the shredder.

Of course, one problem with shooting drones is if they're camera-equipped and their streaming imagery is being recorded remotely, it wouldn't take long for law enforcement to find the shooter. Theoretically...
