Pat I saw you and Amanda in the swap on Saturday. I was going to say hi but you sped off!

Nice, looks like you guys had a good time even though the cops were being dicks. Are you having the bumpers for the Demon matched or going with black?

My dad gets that in his 3rd gen whether he's towing or not, never seems to change lol. He has the 360 though.

It was like that for me in the Neon, but not the Stratus.

i dont know yet. the guy who is doing the paint work suggested red right away, but we think thats too much red. we might go with black, but the guy who is painting them has a 73 dart sport that runs mid 10s, and he has it done up to look stock. its sea foam green with a white vinyl roof, and he has fiberglass bumpers. he painted them with a very high gloss silver paint, so its not quite chrome, but not a normal silver. we are going to check out his car at woodward this weekend and see what amanda thinks of the look.

here are the additions to the dodge room from the 09 nationals...putting us up over 1500 unique diecasts alone. we have enough now that we carry a copy of our insurance list around with us at these events, as we have most of the diecasts that we come across, even at huge events.

as you can see, we got a bunch of new 64s, as well as a pair of 18s and a 24 scale aries...

the spread:

the 18th scale cars

and the aries..

My dad just towed 6000 pounds of landscaping block yesterday, and we averaged 16.8mpg, on the highway, at 62 mph... he's got a 2004 Ram 2500 4x4... it all depends on the driver...
