Yeah, I know.. I'd love to go to a C&G meetup at something like the GM Nats at Carlisle! We have a few interesting winter events out here (Barrett-Jackson, etc) but nothing in the summer.

I'm only 2384 miles from Philly. But my Mustangs are about 75 miles from Pittsburgh Int'l Airport..

Saw a primered '73-75 or so Chevy pickup with a '99-06 style Chevy stepside bed. Interesting.

Oysters Rob

Cool... I'd like to see that drivetrain in a current Suburban...a Suburban ZR1 would be so cool.

I'm not jealous, I just don't like his hypocrisy...he was doing nothing but running down Holden and the G8 for months (years?) and now he buys one.

India (origin of many great curries)

It's very nice..I've bought a 1/2 dozen of them, plan to use the 6.1 Hemi in ProTouring style builds of vintage Mopars. They have an '09 Challenger SRT8 kit coming this summer. And as far as GM kits go, in the last 6 months or so, Revell has issued a nice '57 Chevy 150 2dr sedan w/ a 'Black Widow' NASCAR version, a '69 Nova SS350, a '69 Yenko Nova, and coming this fall/winter are a '66 Chevy Impala SS and a '72 Olds Cutlass Hurst/Olds convertible, really looking forward to those.

Not to mention the Japanese car kits, which are anywhere from $25-50 in the US or more. Though I buy mine from a dealer in Japan, so even w/ the shipping, I save $10-15 on a typical kit--like the recent Tamiya Nissan GT-R (R35).

'00 Grand Cherokee--almost 100k miles. Daily driver currently, want to replace w/ something new in the next couple years. But keep the Jeep for winter use. '87 Mustang GT and '69 Mustang are once-in-a while fun cars. I'm currently 2000 miles from them, but plan to fix that within the next year. Also want to get a new fun car within the next couple years.

Not me.. I'm content w/ my 19 mpg SUV now, next new car will be something that gets 22-25mpg max.

If I had any first gen F-body, I'd want a Vedoro green '68 Firebird 400 ht and my brothers' Le Mans Blue '68 Camaro SS396 (wish he had kept it).

Corruption

Ya, I hear you... I really want out of AZ, debating whether to move back to Denver, or to Seattle, or to Pittsburgh. My Mom is 78, still in good health, but I'd like to see her more often...feeling guilty about living 2000 miles away, remembering 10 years ago being 1500 miles away when my Dad had cancer, feeling like I didn't see him often enough his last years. Pittsburgh is only 75 miles from the farm and my Mustang. Columbus and Cleveland are 100 miles away. Columbus and Pittsburgh seems to have a pretty decent job market for my thing, still seeing a good number of posts on Dice and Monster, even in this economy. My sister is even wanting to get out of AZ and CA, looking at a 3 yr contract with the State of Ohio in Columbus.

England

I've built models since age 7...still have all mine from childhood, still buy quite a few every year, finish very few now, though. I have about 1500 unbuilt, 250 built, and 250 restorable used that I've bought from ebay and model shows/swap meets. Mostly 1:25th and 1:24th scales, everything from AMT, MPC, Johan, Revell, Monogram to Italeri, Tamiya, Aoshima, Fujimi kits....my oldest kit is an original AMT '58 Edsel ht. I'll post some pics tonite of some of mine.

WHAT? PCS--a G8? Weren't you the #1 critic of this car (and Holden) and defender of the W-body GP ????? Shocking...

Speaking of PA car shows, I really want to go to some of the various Carlisle events someday. Who knows, if plan B works out, maybe they will be close weekend road trips next summer.

Sweet...I saw a gorgeous red '65 GTO convertible when I was out blasting along St Rt 751 in Coshocton County, Oh in my 5.0..didn't see any vintage Mopies this past weekend, but saw several nice GMs and Fords..

I wanted to take a pic of my brother's black '82 GT, but it has a dead starter currently. There is also his '79 Mustang Indy Pace Car and my '69 Mustang in the barn, along with my Mom's 3 '67-68 Cougars and my brother's '69 Fairlane.

By the way, here are some pics I took back in Ohio this past weekend..never say never, but I'm about ready to run screaming from Arizona and back to the land of snow and ice, of yellow and black. My '87 Mustang:
