  1. but the roads are covered with sand now rather than snow.

    Just be glad its not salt ...I love michigan...

     

    I got stuck driving home from class a couple of years ago when it hit real bad, it took me three hours to go what usually takes me 45min. At one point we were doing about 2mph crawl and the car in front of me started sliding twards the ditch, that was creepy.

  2. Between our economy being so crappy and people getting consistantly lazier. It almost makes sense that people ask for handouts, they do it online because people have come to rely on the internet, its too easy to get a message out, which feeds back into the lazy bit. Obviously I dont condone the activity. I wont say I've never asked for a handout, but If I did/do then its for a very good reason.

  3. There's also a long card version like the short one you have, without the yellow bar I mean. I'm not sure about significance but I have all three of the new corvette c6r releases, they acctually made three different corvettes, two yellows and a silver, all slightly different.

  4. Hotwheels, like the ones in the other thread, almost always increase in value. Larger diecasts its a matter of rarety and age. Most times the packaging is worth more than the model simply because most people throw it away. Personally I remove my models from their boxes because I bought them to enjoy and how can I enjoy them if they are still in the box?

  5. I have a big display case that we rescued from a closing radio shack that holds all of my most valuable models but I have cars and planes and trains and all kinds of stuff scattered all over everywhere! I built a custom display case for my autographed '57 Corvette SS but other than that all of my models, plastic and diecast, sit on open shelves.

     

    I cant wait for these to come out! Just what I need, one more thing to collect! btw, has anyone else noticed the sudden increase in early Z models on the market? I wonder why.

  6. I keep getting more of these! Everytime I spot one I pick it up, its horrible! My work table looks like a used car lot! So far I have one in the original colors, a bare polished metal one, and a black one, next is red, then blue, and I'm not sure after that. My friend dared me to get out the silver solder and sculpt a G nose for one! I dont know about that, maybe.

  7. My camera has been MIA for a few months now so, no pics.

     

    I just took a fine point red sharpie and did the tail lights and with the black I did the grill, hood vents, and rear tail light surround and that was it. I'm going to buy another one to take apart and repaint, should be interesting.

  8. I've seen those F1 and indy street cars before, they just dont have the "look" of the real thing. Besides, its a pitty they used the chrysler drivetrain. Sure its cheap but as soon as you put any real power through that trans your going to have issues.
