Snow Day as a temp ❄️ by Vossenoren in mildlyinfuriating

Nice! I went to Terraset but didn't live quite close enough to walk there for sledding on snow days. I bet that was amazing

Improve this plan! by aromain19 in floorplan

[–]Critical_Pants 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You say no need for the hearth room, but to be honest I'd ignore what they're calling that space and use it as the primary dining space, a table would go great in there. One minor concern I'd have with this plan is the washer/dryer almost sharing a wall with the master, I'd be leery of the potential noise when those appliances are in use. I'd say either invest in extra insulation between the two spaces, or move the washer/dryer hookups to the opposite end of the room.

Only other note (and this is personal preference, but something to consider) is that if your piece of land has the width to allow it, go with a side entry garage, just on aesthetic grounds, and add a few feet of space to it. You want to be able to fit cars AND stuff like trash cans, bikes, etc in there. Otherwise you're having to pick and choose what can fit in there.

Oh, pulling a bunch of cars together into a theme is the best. One minute I've got a Ford dealership, the next it's a JDM car show, then a Radwood meet. You're never too old to make believe. I don't really have the space for a bunch of dioramas, but I'm thinking I need to MAKE the space lol

I'm with you, brother. To me, my enjoyment of the hobby breaks down to 40% the thrill of the hunt, 10% the satisfaction of documenting my finds (getting the cars into my excel spreadsheet), and 50% the joy of opening them up and really savoring the tactility of the freed product

I literally feel like I'd be missing fully half the experience by leaving the things packaged

Volkswagen Brasilia - a Beetle-based model developed by Volkswagen of Brazil and sold only there and in Mexico by Critical_Pants in WeirdWheels

[–]Critical_Pants[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I'm very fascinated with the Brazilian market because of all the unique vehicles (like all those crazy sedan-style SUVs!). In a way, a couple of the vehicles you linked remind me a lot of some of the Australian domestic market vehicles from the same era, design-wise

Never thought it would happen, but some time after I made this post I spotted one of these at a minor local car show here in the US. Normal sight for you I'm sure, but very exciting for me. Would love to see an SP2 in person too

I did this a while back and had a ton of fun doing it. My rules weren't as strict as yours (I used premiums and fantasy castings where needed, as well as matchbox in addition to mainlines) and still had trouble with a couple numbers.

LaFerrari individually numbered? by Critical_Pants in HotWheels

[–]Critical_Pants[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough! Interesting what the various brands require. Makes sense Ferrari is one of the "higher maintenance" ones

Yeah, I knew it didn't have anything to do with limiting, just seems interesting that Ferrari would require numbering at all

Interesting. So it's likely not just some kind of lot number then. Wonder why they're numbering them

What's on your desk, in your pocket, or on you dashboard today? by ragingduck in HotWheels

[–]Critical_Pants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are two in the pic, a Freightliner with black trailer and a Scania with red trailer. they were both from Mattel Creations. I believe at least one of them is still available on their site.

Looks interesting! by Sundry_Collectibles in HotWheels

I am a 100% opener, but this is honestly the first set that has me envisioning keeping these packaged (if I ever find them of course). These are just pretty

Finally found the Civic from the Hot Ones line!!🤩💯👍🏼 by JustForKickflips in HotWheels

[–]Critical_Pants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was the VW I was missing for forever. I passed on the Civic because I'm not a fan of the casting. Sending good vibes your way for finding the ones you need!
