Yeah determining where you go. I would love to collect them again, but you are right, they can get pricey.

I'm actually looking on collectablediecast.com and their prices aren't too bad. I'm about the 1/18 scale.

i miss my rc drifting days... lol. never got into nitro cars. i used to run an electric tamaya TL-01 chassis.

I do fly RC aircraft though =) now thats a fun/expensive hobby. ive been flying rc since i was 12 yrs old.

Don't worry, your internet is safe.

:rofl: He's a tough little cookie and everyone's scared of him but really, unless you're charging at my face with your fist raised, he's not so bad. Well, unless you're black. And then he's going to stare you down and bark at you.

It's sad, he can sit out front all day long watching white people walk by but as soon as black people walk by he goes into watchdog mode. He's WASIST!

Oh you work with forklifts, eh? Know anyone in need of forklifts, whether it be parts or service? :mrgreen: Oop, don't mind me.. I'm just in work mode.

my dad has a substantial die cast collection. I'll prob start one sooner or later.

always wanted to try rc drifting just never had the money lol.

also learning hazard communication and lock out tag out this week.... then fork lift and confined space protocol next week... i think after that its raise askin time lol.

bleh. at least the day is going fast

grimm 01-15-2010 12:13 PM

yea autoart is the way to go. it's just hard to explain spending $100 on a toy car that sits on a shelf. but maybe when i get some more expendable cash i will grab a few more.

That's why I spend it on the ones that are like $20-$30. I will not spend $100 on a car.

The nitro cars are a money pit.

Me too. I actually can't wait to go home. After not working for almost 2 months, this has been a long week.

i hear that, this has been my first full week since the holidays and it was a chore. Granted it doesn't help that my new years resolution excludes drinking adult beverages during the work week :(

HickRocket1258 01-15-2010 12:32 PM

This week has been a good week actually. I've worked my 40 hour week job, plus 10 hours from my second job. My second job I seriously really like. I like being there and it puts me in a good mood.

jpalamar 01-15-2010 12:39 PM

I got 1 model. Die cast 04 GTO with red interior. I had to go to the dealer and get my color paint. I painted, cleared, sanded ect.. even get Nano waxed while it sits on the TV stand.

On a side note, Rob your Haiti thread is getting some sandy vag in it. It is entertaining me.

sleeper15 01-15-2010 12:41 PM

MMMMmm, corndogs and onion rings.
