Heh, it reminded me of the SNL sketch with Chris Farley that went something like this:
MEETING LEADER: Hi everyone, we are here today because we have trouble conducting ourselves appropriately around celebrities we encounter. Who can tell me what they shouldn’t do if they meet a celebrity?
ATTENDEE 1: Well, I won’t go up to him and ask him for his autograph while he is eating dinner.
ATTENDEE 2: I wouldn’t try to get my picture taken with him while he is in the grocery store.
CHRIS FARLEY: I won’t try to take him home, cut his head off and immerse it in a large glass jar full of formaldehyde so I can take it out and look at it all the time.

Here was one I started after I got out of the Navy and never finished...

I suppose I'll finish it when I retire...:)

You’ll have to ask somebody younger than me. I liked wood shop as well as metal shop. Wished I would’ve taken them in high school, but they told me I was college material and my electives should be academic.

“My latest adventure - building a fast car and wringing it out on open track day.”
The deuce is the hang it out there sports car.
I own a 92t, somewhat modified and driven when I get a wild hare. Last track day was Talledega Motor Sports, a motorcycle track. I’ve had it out on the speedway also, keep it under grand, keep it under 8 grand.....

mr2oc.com theneanderthal be there also. That looks like a gen1 you’re driving, what a car! I just sold my last one to a neighbor who has his and hers. Hers is an automatic, very rare. I sold him a parts car I inherited from a deceased friend.

Yamaha did the intake for the gen1 SC and the gen2 turbo. Long block is pure Yota. I do the two wheels also. Both are pure recreation. I also drive an old Chevy turbo diesel pickup. POS is having accessory issues with only three hundred thousand miles. LOL!

Nice, so far. Is that 1/35 or 1/48 scale?

Exactly. What man would be relegated to a ‘cave’ in his own house?

I have wanted to get my hands on a Fiero GT and make some tweaks and mods to the V6 engine as well as tinkering with the tranny and exhaust.

Tamiya is the best there is. Over thirty years ago I bought a Tiger Tank of theirs. It was $10.99. Today the same kit(1/35 scale) sells for over $60.
