The Chevelle did look pretty good, I don't collect muscle cars that much, but the car just popped out to me. As well as the 442, speaking of which yesterday visiting the flea market, there was a real Olds 442 sitting in the parking lot in a nice darkish red color. Didn't get a picture of it... :grumpy:

I did tell the vendor that would bring more boxes my email and he gave me his email and phone number to contact when I'll be heading to the flea market again. (Hoping my parents don't stay home or something next weekend :scared:) Possibly ask him if he has anything else I'm looking for? But...I could just look through them myself. :)
 
I have two
Z4's
ken block cars * black and the white version*
and a red road runner along with a ford falcon race car
that I am willing to trade for an M3 gt2 race car , =D if your interested remember all my trades include a bonus car! * probably an oldie! *
 
If you're going to open it, just open it.

Really no reason to take it out and put it back in facing the correct way.

And it's my opinion on an open forum, I'll say what I want.

Yea this is america! :lol: (well for me it is!)
Ive de blistered around thirty cars or so usually because the plastic is either smashed up , weathered or torn and replaced it with newer plastic from cars that i have opened , you cant tell at all since the oil docent damage anything but the epoxy used to glue it on after that you heat it up and teh epoxy works again, if not use crazy glue. there's a tutorial on you tube
 
I'm sure you guys will get a laugh out of this. After dinner I took duty into washing dishes and whilst I was washing it my parents were taking out the trash. Turns out they took the trash out my room as well and looked through it a little. They didn't take not of the empty packaging but they found one of my Walmart receipts. :scared: My mom picked it up and stared at it for a couple of seconds and I'm sure you guys would know what kind of expression was on my face when I saw her staring at the receipt. But much to my relief, she put it back in the trash ignoring it. :p
 
Which contained nothing other than feminine hygiene products.

It's got to be the only solution. No moms pick up a receipt of Hot Wheels and ignores that. They'd come up to you and ask... "Son, so you bought all these Hot Wheels... where's my silicon spatula and paper towels?"
 
Forgot to mention, picked up another Miata for my collection. A car freshly loose from the Surfin' Fun 5-pack, bought for $.95 cents + shipping. :)
 
Here's what I got at Walmart.

Its A vid i made back in 2007 , reposted with better music, it never got the views the original did but oh well, im really trying to find the construction car thats in that video, I found the blast lane motorcycle in a lego bin a few weeks back!
 
I used to do the old 60s-70s hot wheels as a kid, but still have some eg. beach bomb

Is this the RLBB? Would be nice to see pics of it. :)


Nice score! 👍

BTW, a6m5 - The Megane wasn't in my pocket when I was driving it around, you monkey! I noticed my verbal faux pas shortly after I posted and hoped no one would notice, but should have known better than hoping it would escape your attention, aarrgh!
Aaaaand . . . since you like pressing buttons that make things pop out: the Magane, I discovered, has a little switch in the rear (little arrow tampo points the way) that releases the insides, so that the whole seating/dash assembly comes out through the tailgate.
Here are the pics:

Well . . . time to head off and kick the Sun awake.

Cheers,

I pretty much spent it all at the flea market... :guilty: Only have seven dollars in my wallet. Also, since I have this whole week off from work...I won't be able to get my paycheck and stop by the bank to get some more cash. :indiff:
