  1. Looks legit to me. Heck of a deal! Wipe off the dust, slap some stickers on it and enjoy!
  2. NEEDS TO BE A $30 TOY!!! NOT A FREAKIN MODEL!
  3. Thanks for the interest guys...mom has had an 04 Kia Optima she bought new and so she wants another Kia. She's had zero problems with it and the dealership is clammering to get their hands on low mileage 04's apparently.... FIne by me....however...gotta let a playa play as they say, so me being the car nut in the family, we are going to drive the new Sonata...maaaybe go by the Ford and Chevy dealers as well...just so she has something to compare the new Optima with. Mind you, mom is looking at $$$ first, and everything else second! LOL! I gotta say----I'm in the Sonata camp so far....that's one good looking car IMHO!
  4. SOOOO pumped for this! Star Trek movies were getting preeeetty baaaad before JJ got a hold of them! BRING IT!
  5. aww---I wanted to be the cool guy to give Graham one!!!
  6. taking my mom to test drive the new Kia Optima next Friday---oddly I'm kinda pumped up about it. ...normally loathe car shopping in general...
  7. ditto.
  8. not reaally digging those Invid sculpts at all if I'm honest. They just look....off...somehow. Especially the Pincer Command Unit and Royal Command ones. Which are two of my favs. Whomever did the Toynami bookend sculps I think did a fantastic job. Those look great. Wish someone would just make toys out of those! Alphas and Invids!
  9. come on Yamato--where's the Alaska Base luv????
  10. I actually am really liking the color of blue you chose. What kind of paints are you using? Also, did you prime it first?
  11. NICE weathering and detailing on those Alphas!
  12. ..waves hand in Jedi Mind Trick Motion...."yeeees, you neeeeeed to make those"!!!! and yes..Toynami Alphas and Blue Beta, and EXO's figs...which I still need to finish painting..... LOL. here's my vintage 80's Robowreck/Mospeada stuff...(and my 2 vintage Alphas just for my boy Agent---They have seen a lot of ummm---battles back in the day!) don't have a place to display all these guys yet...maybe someday. I still love the BIG Matchbox Invids.
  13. soo after letting him sit broken and unfinished for a couple of months...Mr. Glaug has returned! Through some miracle of superglue and Ambroid Pro-Weld, late one night this week, I got the arm reattached and glued the legs to the body so it would actually stand up right. I'll try to clean it up some more and throw a wash and some decals on it I guess.....since obviously we are NEVER gonna see one from Toynami or Yamato... I gotta have some kinda bad guy leader pod around!
  14. since we are all sharing....
  15. I think we need ANY and ALL Invid/Inbits in ANY and ALL sizes! NOW!
  16. QFT! I might have to track these down...they are just tooo cool!!
  17. On that note there was a red GT-R parked out in front of my office this morning---awesome to see up close! Got a pic on my phone but can't post it right now.
  18. Ohh--of this I have no doubt my friend! My daily driver is a 1 series coupe which I adore! My next car WILL be an 09 or newer M3! Do you have the coupe or the 4 door?
  19. You are correct, they did change them in 08 I hear...didn't know that when I bought...oh well...It is just kinda "cheap and clunky feeling"...also hard to get into 3rd when trying to really get a good run to 100..after driving for like an hour it does improve somewhat, but it still is just kinda "meh"
  20. I own a 2007 Z06 and I have to say it's great---for the price---. It's an absloute blast to drive..It handles great and the acceleration is VERY intoxicating. I will never be a good driver enough to take that car to the limits of what it can acutally do--I doubt there are many around who can who are not professional drivers. (and I have done road racing courses and put it on a track twice). The interior is not Porsche or Audi or BMW quality...but it's not horrible. Bang for your buck..a used C6 Z06 is the best thing going...in my opinion. The biggest complaint I have is the gearbox. It kinda sucks. I recently drove a Lamborghini Gallardo, a Ferrari 430, an Audi R8 and a Porcshe Boxster Spyder...I can honeslty say I felt pretty good about life going home in my Z06. No, it doesn't handle as good as the Germans, nor is it as brutally raw as the Italians..but for less than 1/3rd the cost..I'll live with it.
