In light of my most recent and impulsive Epay purchase, just wanted to see what kind of dumb stuff you all have bought... Come on, we all have that "why the hell did I buy this?" item in our shops. Here's mine:

I bought some old Stompers a few years back. As if I don't have enough crap floating around the house.

Anybody want to buy some Stompers :lol: :lol:

My favorite was a blue toyota with a winch in the front and a camper shell in back. My second was a kenworth. I won all the push pull contests at school with that one. I probably had 15 at one time plus a few.........donor cars :twisted:

Those were the days.

Oh ya, another impulse was when I fell and hit my head and decided I wanted to restore a Royal Ripper! LOL. I actually really like that car but OH MAN the money I've spent on NIB parts for that fragile ass thing! LOL.

I hacked my sled up and turned it into a pull trailor for my RC boat. And I had a Kenworth tractor but no trailer. I am sure they made them.

Mu cousin had the car with the claws. Didn't they like retract till the lost traction or something then came out to dig in? The was a long time ago.

Royal Ripper was bascially a Hotshot knock off (some people call it the Royal Ripoff) made by a company here in the states, they had that and a truck version called the Crusher... they were better known for their motorcycles.
