Post a picture you took today

Girl; and yeah we have names picked out. We're not much into gender or name surprises.

That's awesome man. Congratulations!

They're all sunshine and flowers and unicorns between ages 2 - 7, then they start getting independence and start becoming their own person. At preteen age (11/12) they start to tear boundaries, and teenage onward, they think they know more and don't want to listen to you.

Mine has become a complete daddy's girl and will listen to me, unless I'm scolding her. She'll have this blank stare when I'm scolding her, so I ask her repeatedly what it is that she's in trouble for 😂.
 
Been there, done that.

Can you repurpose those wheels to another vehicle? Or maybe exchange these wheels for ones with the correct offset?
Im gonna keep them. I'm looking at SLs and E55 wagons and they'll fit on those.

Or I'll get adapters and put them on the red Tbird once it's down here
 
The street lights in my neighborhood have mysteriously been off the last week or so. I'm going to write the city about it so they can fix it. I'm pretty sure they're unaware about this.

Also, night sight pictures are awesome, because the bottom picture in actuality was near pitch black save for the neighbors' interior lights that still shone through.

Vinton County air show today - weather was conducive to flying down again. Nice weather this morning....

...turned into thunderstorms which caused the last act or two to be cut so those of us who flew in could fly out safely. Had to dodge at least once cell on the way back.

That is familiarly accurate.

God I’m dense, I thought the other day “why’s he painting a mural in a nursery, they don’t have kids”:confused2:

“…….Oh!!!!!”

Congratulations!
 
Bigfoot sighting!

That makes the third in the greater Chicago burbs… then again it might be the same black one I saw a few months ago lol
 
I have not seen a single one. And the ICE version won't be any different assuming it's priced like the old V8. They need a version priced like the old V6 to get significant volume.

They’ve lost their mind on pricing, basically double in price from the last gen entry models. Chrysler needs a modern roadrunner, something priced in the low to mid 30s with that body the hot engine and ZERO of the god damn stupid pointless technology (like electric door handle buttons)
 
Excellent picture. Please be safe!
 
Small project I did today. This model is almost 30 years old and one of my favorites, but sadly it’s afflicted with one of the issues that sometimes develops on diecast Ertls from the era, zinc rot…. What is that? Well, this!

Removed it looks like simple paint checking at a glance but it’s actually the metal underneath decaying and in this case expanding, which is why I eventually took it off entirely. Out of curiosity recently I checked eBay and found a seller who parts out diecasts and asked if he possibly had this piece from any Ertl Challenger and sure enough he did!

Note just how much the original rotten one deformed expanded from what it was originally!

Anyway I stripped off the yellow paint and resprayed it with duplicolor Wimbledon white, gently misted on rustoleum Carmel I found at the hardware store, and top coated with krylon flat clear. All rattlecans! Turned out pretty good! Matches the original “dirt” almost perfect
