RE: Model cars

Way to highjack this thread guys! [&:]

I recently purchased a die-cast 1:18 burnt orange 1967 Shelby GT 350 with blue racing and side stripes. I masked off the car and painted the racing and side stripes black to match my car, and also swapped the model's shelby wheels with chrome Torque Thrust II's I had on another 1:18 model. Now the car looks almost identical to mine!

Now my fiancee thinks I'm crazy... [sm=smiley29.gif]

Nice collection. I have about 18 or 19 all 1:18 scale. I love that kind of stuff too!

Hey, it's my thread and I'll hijack it if I want.

I don't have a yellow 65 coupe to match mine. Just the two verts and a little red coupe. I have 20 now, and get a new one each month. I'm about to run out of room on the shelf.

Your just going to have to do an extension on that room... maybe knock a wall out... you didn't need that dining room next door anyway.

Oh I didn't give up my beer

These days i can't get over the cost. Back when I started could get a can for 59 cents and REDMAN was less than that. When i quit it was near $2 a can these days nearly $5 a can outrageous.

I quit Skoal at the police academy in 1999. I still want a chew all the time.

1 can of dip has the nicotine equivilant of 60 cigarettes, and you wonder why chewing is so hard to quit considering at times I chewed almost a can a day.

Oh and BTW.... a can of Skoal in Washington State is 7-8 dollars. Gotta love those taxes!

I hear you man especially after dinner every night. A can a day at least, sometimes two. I spent most of my younger days palying baseball and then softball later I had my first chaw of Redman at 14 (sitting in a dugout thought I was a big leaguer) sick as a dog for two days afterward but oh well young and stupid I guess. Then started in earnest in the Navy that was 1986 quit in 2000 when the reflux got so bad I was eating a roll of TUMS with every can. $7-8 holy crap I had a buddy who went to Vegas and ran out had to buy a can $12.50, he paid, I couldn't believe it. And on a side note this is a first my first official hi-jack

They are still nice cars.
