Michael - Pebble Beach is happening and you're blasting us with old news? Seriously, dude...give it up for what we really want, thanks.

These 'miniatures' are so non-small as to make them nothing more than an exercise in ROI. It would be noteworthy instead if someone with the proper skills made the statement "Too hard!".

China beat them all by hundreds of years...

The new version is only special if you end up owning both.

Handed it off to another family member decades ago. Back then it was no issue to find parts, etc. No idea where it is now.

I don't have the '68 any longer. My current Thunderbird is a supercharged 1990.

The wheels on the dirty-deeds-done-dirt-cheap-mobile-demolition-claw are lifted free by the stabilizing outriggers. SOP...

The subtle hint here is that Jason doesn't read a 'prompter, so he may want to be careful when it comes to holding other's feet to the auto-related accuracy fire :)

The late 2A parked outside here is '68 on the outside with '98 TDi running gear beneath, so yes, there are 'ways' :) The DMV still thinks it burns gasoline...

Thank you David Dunbar Buick - if it weren't for you, I'd never have had the genuine fun of chasing a Cox gas-powered scale Riviera un-tethered car into the lake...

Travis - what is this 'you guys' talk? Sounds like another sexist/gender jibe to me :)

Sounds like a hard way to come to grips with the reality that is insurance companies.

Well, since the SmartUki is a liter....

Talking heads don't write - they read a prompter and talk :)

Not mine. That's actually a '69 and something I managed to find on YouTube.

I'm sure LED implementations are more reliable...the dealer had a hard time keeping the '68 lights up and running :) Bleeding edge and all that...

Future? I had a new Thunderbird in '68 with sequential, albeit analog, turn signals,

And in straight-line-only oval racing, turning doesn't happen at all. Got it - thanks :)
