The musings of a madman...

Don't judge me, I actually owned a box Caprice once... Back to the task at hand, we were talking about a 1987 Chevy Caprice: Survey the contents of the packaging: Engine and door panels installed: One-piece front seat, nothing more: Black or chrome, black or chrome?: Let's go with black, mount some tires on them and load them up with brakes: Put the exhaust on: Slide the body on the frame and take pics: Now GET BACK IN THAT BOX!!!: Also, make note that this one is slammed and on what appear to be equivalent to 20" wheels, not raised and cooned up on 28".

Story time with uncle Phlip... Gather round, kiddies. One Sunday last May, I went to Toys R Us after church and liberated 24.97 moneys plus sales tax for this: Disappointment ensued, as they did not have the Shooting Star to match it at the time of purchase. I would come home and the ONLY place that had it for purchase at the time was Amazon, but this was right at the time I went into my situation with the dept of revenue, along with the brakes on my car shitting the bed and a couple other things, all at once, so I forgot about the mission. Some of you may actually read my MySpace blogs, but I half-jokingly expressed interest in the Ertl shooting star on Amazon in one of my random thoughts blogs back in October, a couple weeks after meeting my now-girlfriend that I wanted it. Christmas comes and she'd bought it for me, see it here: Fast forward to a point I made last week, where when I was looking for something in my closet, I found... ... of the Ertl "American Muscle Body Sho
