The other topic on how many cars you have in your collection made me wonder something else: What percentage of your car collection actually has fully functioning electronics & motors running? In other words, you could take them off your shelf, put in batteries, and actually drive them right here and now?

That's why I quit using tampons...
Sorry everybody, I just can't help the fact that I was born an idiot.

My wife says "You suffer from an over-abundance of personality."
You're completely right though. It gets 95 degrees here with heavy humidity and I got tired of dripping with sweat trying to get a pull start running. That's why I don't own any nitros anymore...
