I was good at crashing them! Testors had a line of gas powered planes. they were the easiest to fly; you had to "whip" them they were so slow. I think the leading/pulling on the lines was the only thing that kept them in the air.I had a bunch of balsa planes. They actually flew A FEW TIMES? COX cars and planes were fun also but made you dizzy!

And I bet the dog didn't complain about the bad situation they were in.
JUST SAY NO TO PINK AUTOMOBILES!!!Back from body shop, guy showed me my likely "overhead storage" above the bay my Duster will be in when it comes out of storage. He asked if I had chosen a color, said he worked at a place in Texas that did "million dollar restorations" and how surprised he was when a guy doing that had no idea what color he wanted the car. Said he would suggest "areola pink", his boss didn't like him doing that lol!
He caught me off guard with that one, somehow went right over my head lol!JUST SAY NO TO PINK AUTOMOBILES!!!View attachment 1716435697
