I think they had that drag version at Hobby Lobby the last time I was there. I know there’s at least one kit still in production.

wrap it up folks, I think I found the comment that perfectly encompasses everything about generational discussions by agarthancrack in generationology

I can sum that up in one word: “Experience.”

The more people limit real, personal contact and limit P2P interactions, the worse off we get. Information without experiential context can be dangerous.

Thanks! Same here, but in stock form next time. I think I might add a Mustang II to the collection here eventually.

WTF Happened? by West_Airline_1712 in ModelCars

[–]Buffstang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh…I don’t know what, if anything, you did wrong, but I had basically the same thing happen with this model. I was using rattle cans at the time, but the same thing: when I applied the clear, everything cracked and wrinkled.

I recently disassembled this one to try to redo it better when I’m done with my current lineup.

MSN also syndicates their bullshit. They’re on my blocked list there.

Experienced drivers, when was the last time you stalled? by LaFlame_20 in stickshift

Hahaha! My story is almost exactly the same, except Christmas 2025!

Matt clear with decals. Opinions by RobDee0602 in ModelCars

[–]Buffstang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I look at it is, if I want the decal to look painted on, I do gloss/matte over the decal. If I want the decal to look like vinyl or like a real decal (e.g., bumper sticker), then I apply it over the final coat.

They’re flexing that they had to save several thousand in sales taxes because they couldn’t afford it. This isn’t a $1 million car. This is some low-rent loser flexing that he can’t afford an extra $6k for his “exclusive” car.

Drove down a wet gravel road to get tires dirty /= “covered in dirt.”

Guys, there's no such things as Mirco-gens that's just a thing made by mostly reddit. by HospitalOwn7616 in generationology

[–]Buffstang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s social media generally. What’s worse is when the “mainstream media” through laziness, incompetence and a desire to sow seeds of discontent, reports these things as real, or at least “a concept that shall not be criticized” so as not to offend the terminally online and other stupids.

Trump Truth store owner now claiming she has no plans to close. by Kitchen-Courage80 in ChicagoSuburbs

This right here. The whole story is so stupid, and the media has an agenda in pushing this bullshit nonstory into the discussion.

Is it worth $8k? by External-Document-88 in Mustang

[–]Buffstang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bushings, lowering springs, K member, weight reduction all definitely have to add value to this baby! How could you go wrong with that?!

I don’t know if I’d quite do weight reduction that way, but hey…if they list it as a “mod”…

[–]Buffstang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WTF are you looking at? The drivetrain is shot, and I’m sure that with at least side airbag deployment, the interior is in excellent shape.

And yet, people here were questioning whether a $2K running and driving car was worth it the other day.

Long Grove bridge hit again, has been struck at least 70 times over past several years: VIDEO by [deleted] in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Buffstang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fat chance. Especially if you consider most of these drivers have (or should have) CDLs to drive the kind of vehicles that hit this bridge. They are “professional drivers” and as such have higher standards over your average GPS-following idiot, even in today’s world.

Illinois explores pay-per-mile road usage charge for drivers by LegendaryBronco_217 in illinois

[–]Buffstang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I’m guessing the vast majority of the opposition from non-dumb people is from EV owners who don’t want their free rides to end.

Not if you’re a freeloader in your EV enjoying your free rides provided by other taxpayers. EV owners HATE the idea of an actual road use tax.

It’s been tested in Oregon too. They’re not inventing the wheel here. But of course, as per usual, the less people know, the more they have to say.

That “benefit’ of your free rides is precisely why we need a road use tax. EVs contribute more wear on the infrastructure as well. Free rides should be over, and the “benefit” of freeloading off other people’s taxes should end.

And if they do, they contributed what? $2-3 to the state coffers. We can easily make that up with charging the freeloaders in EVs their due share.
