You're playing with fire. John will set his Somalian pirate friends on you, if you're not careful.
That's actually harmless compared to what I originally had in mind. :D
Oh that's right, it is based on a real-life Dodge NASCAR livery, isn't it...? You'd think that me commentating on NASCAR videogame races which featured that #9 car, I wouldn't forget the "Mopar Thunder"... Damm you memory! :ouch: :lol:
Your memory needs slapped. :P
 
Your memory needs slapped. :P

That's an odd thing for a memory to have... I think your language cortex malfunctioned like an overboosted SRT-4 engine, bro. :P :lol:

What is "slapped"? Is it edible?

Not sure if you want a slap to be edible, considering it's usually given to your face, but there might be some weird Canadian tradition behind that question, so who knows. :sly:

Managed to find this little gem after almost giving up hope on finding any in stores:
20170727_104652.jpg

My only gripes are the lack of headlight tampos (makes the front look a bit bare) and the filled in spoiler, but otherwise it's pretty good.

Also got these because they were on sale:

You know, I was just in a TRU that had the two Porsches from the Raceday series in stock and I didn't get any since they didn't have the full set, but now I'm regretting it. The two Porsches alone are perfect in my opinion.
 
I usually don't give a crap about preorders, but I am starting to get curious about that M2 JDM preorder. If Walmart shoppers are already getting them, I want mine, too. I can't wait.
There's no rough neighborhoods in Japan! It's all Anime and weird mascots.
No, east side of Portland, Oregon. It can be an adventure on the right block.
I don't believe you.
I don't want to get arrested! :D

I'm going to find out where both of you guys live.

I have couple of pacers(and man, they are sweet...), but no Gremlin. I would buy this one if I could actually find it.

Don't give me that either. Oregon is full of Hipsters and Californians! :dopey:

So you can give me the $uper XB Falcon as well as the green Gemini, in person? Thanks! :D:tup:
 
If you do find me I can pass along some of my cars to you. Have no fear, it's not a ploy to get you to walk right into any traps I may have set up or anything. :mischievous:
Somalia changed you. You used to be such a nice boy. :lol:
Don't give me that either. Oregon is full of Hipsters and Californians! :dopey:
And methheads. Then again, methheads don't commute, so they don't cause traffic jams like with immigrants from California. :dopey:

No, to bend the card on your Vintage Racing Datsun 510.
I'm interested in the blue one, will probably have to get it off the 'bay.
Yep. Blue for me, too.
 
I still can't believe how ugly this thing is. I can't believe someone bought it. :yuck::crazy: I'll love it if I get this in my preordered set. So I can sell it for $175. :ouch:
Bloody Californians!! :lol:
We want a wall & we want California to pay for it.
Just because you didn't keep your vintage racing card, doesn't mean you have to ruin mine! Meanie. :( :lol:
It would be my pleasure.
This is nice, something's a bit odd about the MX5 Blister though :lol:
Annoying, but happens sometimes. :crazy:
 
I actually like it, rather having the spoiler come out like that than just ripped out blister.
It might damage the paint!
Hmm, Queen Creek AZ. Might be one of my missing cars. Either way, $15 for shipping and they will try to get it out in 7 days? :rolleyes:
I bought from this seller one time. I'm gonna try to find the listing.... Here it is. After discovering couple of substantial & undisclosed paint chips, I've been avoiding this seller. :crazy:
 
Tonight I'm going to bed a bitter man. I'm sharing this story because I hope it can bring at least a small amount of humor to the table.

My friend and I had a bet going for the last few months for which of us could find a Super TH at a dollar store before the other. The only rule we had set was that we had to take one picture with the car, sales receipt and sign on the front of the building in clear view and send it to the other. We chose a dollar store due to their naturally small selection and less chance of finding an STH compared to the big stores like Walmart and Target. If I lost I had to create an account on some social media service that I find to be completely useless, annoying and stupid, and sell my friend one of my Supers at the lowest eBay sold listing price the car had. If my friend lost, he had to buy me no less than $50 worth of diecast using the $50 he found in a drawer and was saving for parts for his motorcycle he's fixing up. Sounds easy right? Well at least for me it's not.

I ended up losing because of a loophole my friend found. He found a Super at Walmart and drove across the road to a dollar store, where he bought some random car that he "didn't give even half a damn about" (his words). When back in the car, he paired the Walmart found STH with the dollar store sales receipt and storefront for the photo. It was about two hours he waited to tell me about the loophole he used. However since I have one or two pairs of doubles of STHs I'm going to sell him one of the cars from those so that way I won't really be losing anything. My friend doesn't know absolutely everything I have so he likely won't even know. On top of that we never said that the car had to be of his choosing so I guess in some crazy way I won this bet after all. Now I just need to watch for the hellfire that will be payback should he ever find out about this. :lol:

That's not a loophole, that's cheating and makes it invalid IMO.
 
Limited to 250, I get it. But is it really worth $175? :crazy:
I'd sell it for that. I wouldn't buy it for that. :lol:

It's a scam. The whole basis of the bet was "finding" one at a dollar store. Not forging evidence that you did. :lol: @Johnny1996 I'll bet you I can find a $uper at a dollar store before you, but you have to give me the carded Vintage Racing 510(found a $uper K&N Vette earlier this year @ Dollar Tree :P).



Edit: Just realized that M2 Japan cars I preordered & Walmart cars are different series!! :ouch: That dark red rally car livery one is a Walmart exclusive. Just great.

You just gave me something to use against him. I'd buy you a drink for that if I could. :D

Oh come on now. Enough with that god forsaken 510 already. The only way you're gonna get it is to steal it from me but even then you'd have to avoid or get out of my hidden trapdoor that leads into a 10ft deep pit. :lol:

So I was checking out those Walmart Exclusive M2 Bluebird rally on eBay last night. Saw one at acceptable price but packaging was beat up, so I contacted the seller if the actual car inside had any damage.

Checked the listing, it's already sold. No big deal. I'm going through my emails, and new one pops in just few minutes ago. As you've surely guessed it,it's the eBay seller.

Says the car's never been taken out of the box, pics are of actual car. :lol: Car's already sold, and you are answering two questions I didn't ask, not the one thing I did ask. Maybe he plans on revealing the information on the next message he's putting together next week. :D
 
Just got the newest Auto World 2017 Mustangs in the mail (these are the ones with the new headlight details - attn @a6m5 ) and I was supposed to get that new Le Mans inspired GT40 with them. However, even though I put it in my cart, requested a total from the seller that makes you commit to the purchase, he messages me 2 days later to tell me the GT40's are sold out. WTF dude.

Edit: This is hilarious.
