jimbob_racing Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 That's just the $25.00 Yat Ming diecast with some detailing and spare parts thrown at it-nothing you couldn't do yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Uncanny how much that looks like my car did before I brought it home...except mine had a snake living in it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I LOVE it... but $125? WTF?!? For the extra $100 I'll throw a regular model against the wall a few times and leave it out in the rain a couple months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Did the snake say, "Quick... go get a woman and an apple. I have something fun for you to do"?

dsommer Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Total BS, it has a crack free dash!!! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flames_187 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 wow...very realistic even up to the point where the windshield wippers are stuck half way up (mine were) and the all so famous brick as an e brake...wait i still use a brick..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 That dash isn't crack free, it's just got a full cap on it. Here's the snake, I didn't get him out until we got to civilization (actually, I didn't even know he was there until i started stripping out the interior, and he was right in my face when I leaned over to open the passenger door) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsommer Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Me+snakes= seeeeee ya Oh I see the dash cap now!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewievette Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Now you know why its so hard for model makers to make any money. All the stuff we do really isnt that difficult, it just takes time and people dont want to pay for our time. That's why I keep it as a hobby, most of the time.

Guest 280ZForce Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Here's the snake, I didn't get him out until we got to civilization (actually, I didn't even know he was there until i started stripping out the interior, and he was right in my face when I leaned over to open the passenger door) that snake looks like the length of a finger... how big was it?

veritech-z Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 little longer than a foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I LOVE it... but $125? WTF?!? For the extra $100 I'll throw a regular model against the wall a few times and leave it out in the rain a couple months. I think my real car cost that much...

Guest Mike Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Wow... $125 for a real Z. What a deal!! I think my real car cost that much... Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Why does it have parts from other cars in it? I'd expect to find a few R200's, a couple of tranny's... you know, typical j/y stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 What's the llikelyhood of a Superbird, or a 69 TA being in the junkyard today, or half of the other cars shown for that matter. I guess that's where the fantasy appeal is, these junkers are more rare than restored cars. One other thing, there's a Chevy air cleaner in evey single car. Strange. no?

Davy My Z only cost me $200 from a friend, and the guy HE got it from literally just gave it to him for nothing...I like these models though, I think the idea was great.

DavyZ Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Wow... $125 for a real Z. What a deal!! Well, not really, but it was a GOOD DEAL nonetheless. And, as Veritech-Z noted above, some Z's are literally only a few hundred dollars. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
