...to fart car:

Days when people could have civil, rational, adult discussions without resorting to name-calling, doxing, or cancelling are but a fond memory.

Members Only was a clothing line popular in the US in the 1980s, every bit as cool as the '70s polyester leisure suit.

You probably need a phone app to get good results now...

Many times have I seen models exhibiting a sense of proportion and line like this:

Unbuilt Modelhaus kits run from about $300 to over $600, depending on subject. They don't sell fast but they usually sell. Vintage Johan...or anything else...prices are easy to determine on eBay. Built kits aren't worth much usually, rarely as much as unbuilt, unless you're a top-tier builder like Paul Hettick. Most of the listings on eBay for "pro-built" kits are a joke, look like 10-year olds did them, so be realistic about the quality of your work when pricing built-ups.

Mistakes are what we make while we learn not to make the same ones again.

Already exists with the internet-connected toilet. Still, it doesn't work as well as the printed pages for...you know...the actual job.

OMG !!! OMG !!! THIS IS SO VIOLENT !!! OMG !!! OMG !!! AND GUNS TOO !!! OMG OMG OMG !!! MOMMYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Real shame too, 'cause it used to be a quality product, for decades. But then the know-nothing bean-counters come in...

Flying car? Submarine car? Hippopotamus car?

Same stuff, different day, over and over and over and over.

Yeah, baby. That engine setback is really wild, too. "Front mid-engined", as they say.

"Go to jello" doesn't make much sense.

This is around 8 grand, and is way more capable than $30k systems not that long ago...

Sun is shining, birds are singing, it's warmish out, and I'm going for a hike.

Some do, some don't. Modelhaus kits are going for 4 or more times what they went for when they shut down. My vintage Revell parts-packs had appreciated hugely up until Atlantis repopped several of them. But that doesn't bother me particularly. I bought the originals with the intention of building them, and the availability of repops just means I have more source material to build from. For instance, I can do as many Fiat altereds as I want (lots), with no worries about running out of first editions. What with old tooling being dusted off and brought back out, and the looming possibility of accurately scanned repops of long gone tooling hitting the market, it's probably not smart to buy models as "investments".
