1/32 Money Pit

I am one amongst you that periodically receives these square, little white boxes from Professor Motor.....I am sure you know the ones.....
I typically pick out a particular car I am going to upgrade, then order all the corresponding parts at one time. Inevitably, I sometimes miss a part and add it to an outgoing order.
I was doing a mod on a car one day, couldn't determine which part I was to use, but knew which particular order it was amongst and figure I could find it in the purchase history.
If you have a financially weak stomach, then.......
WARNING: DO NOT GO INTO THE PURCHASE HISTORY SECTION OF YOUR ACCOUNT...!!!!
I think we all know how easy it is to say, " use the credit card on file"....
I did this one time and almost colored my BVDs.....
But all in all, this is a great hobby that blends relaxation, engineering, playtime and a bunch more all together.
I would write more, but I am off to a new track in the neighborhood so that I can "put my credit card on file"....lol.

I have 12 new-in-box Scalecxtric and Pioneer Trans Am cars on my desk waiting for my road course to get finished. They are the latest of about 40 Trans Am cars I've acquired for this series. A few weeks back I was thinking, 'ya know, all this is costing you several hundred dollars". Then I reached for a calculator and did the unthinkable, totaled up what 40 cars at $50 - $80 each (shipping, decals, paint, driver's figures, etc) actually came to. I will spare you the details, but it was not a good idea.

Like munter, slot cars are my only vice and give me more pleasure than anything else I could spend the money on, without any moral dilemmas.
