The only way to keep track of what’s out is to build a 50-foot working display like “GotFrank” here … And of course, town building rule #1 … never be further than 5 feet from a cold one 🙂 I believe the agreement is that 5 Dinoco Haulers are correct. Clearly a work in progress […]

There seems to be confusion out there on what’s coming on the launchers & wheelers so here is the recap of 2009 and “2010” – though remember 2010 really means October 2009 to December 2009.

DJ for $15? Or 21€ on eBay Germany? (or about $27 USD). Lizzie for $7 to $10? Or last autumn – $20-$25? Plus other sporadic bursts where the price of the CAR jumps from retail to $10 on eBay which really means @$15 when you include shipping? One of the fundamental and continuing “logistics” based […]

That’s right – Carssneaks has offered up a custom Mac iCar – the Apple Piston Cup racer as first prize in our newest contest! Carssneaks describes it as a custom – I am unsure of the artist-creator but it looks very nice and hey, it’s FREE for you to win. Nothing to buy! You only […]
