A Honda Accord rear-ended me today. The only "damage" I received was a little paint transfer on my drop hitch. Unfortunately for them, it ripped the front cover off their car. Screenshot_20230304_184919_Gallery.jpg But I guess they were lucky that they were going slow. A Cadillac hit me a ...

I settled for them not waiting my time.

I actually have several hitches. That one is older and goes with my small boat.

Speaking of boats, I need to go fishing.

In the Worlds front kit, they list the bulkhead as an AE part.

Or, a red label.

I'm pretty sure that those definitions predate the machine wound "mods". A time when the motor was either stock or a hand wound modified. All the other stuff came later.

I finally settled on some tires and wheels for the little Hopper. I still have the basher setup as well. Screenshot_20230309_143633_Gallery.jpg I picked up some Blitzer Beetle wheels on clearance.

Nah, just think of all the stuff I'd miss out on.

Unfortunately, the original didn't fit great. And the repo's care molded from the original. I had several issues getting mine to fit in an acceptable way.

I used one from Boki. It rubbed on the top of the chassis sides and had some twist to it.

Just note that those are the longer ones. Later models (Worlds, late CE and TC, and re-re) used shorter pins.

Mine always look like the camber was set by a blind person.

Got some electronics. It's all cheap stuff but looks to be in nice condition.

I seen this while driving today. It struck me a little funny.
But I couldn't decide which was funnier: the tag itself or that someone put a custom tag on a Fiesta.

Click on pics.

There are 3D printed ones on Shapeways and Ebay.

If black is fine, Dynotech has some that are like the newer ones.
