is anyone else totally into HotWheels

Rani have you ever played with slot cars? Look them up on the net. They come in several scales, but the most common are HO scale , about the size of a hot wheels car. I would imagine up in colorado theres probably some clubs that race these. Lots of fun. You should check it out. Something fun to do when the weather gets too cold to be wrenching. I have a 4 lane track i built in my garage on a 4x8 plywood table. These things are rockets , i recommend the Tomy AFX super g plus, or mega g chassis. The cool thing is you can have your racers, spare parts, and pit tools all fit in a fishing tackle box. If you play with these you will get hooked , its like crack for car nuts lol

Also what do your friends think of your interests in the old mopars? Any boyfriends who are envious of your abilities with the cars, or just plain jealous you prob know more than they do about them.

I say keep on wrenching, and get more of the ladies involved in this hobby. My wife understands my passion, and loves the roar of an unmuffled american V8 as much as i do, says the sound gets her excited lol. and loves the old cars. She is hooked on barrett jackson on tv. My wife appreciates them, and knows it takes a lot of work to restore them. She just isnt to getting dirty doing it.

Hee hee .....i do have a slot car race set i think its by Life-like brand in HO scale but the cars need the tune up kit.... i used to play racees with my cousin when he lived with me but now i live with my adoptive parents only and they are always busy so i dont have anyone to race anymore.

my friends that are girls think i am very strange and dont understand my car fever and i dont hang out with local car guys ......i had a problem a few years back bcoz i was hanging out with a group of car guys and it was all about cars ....but their wifes and girlfriends didnt agree and didnt want me around so that is why other than FABO im pretty much a loner.

i have never had a boyfriend bcoz in my culture we do arranged marrages so i dont usually talk to boys locally except for a few that my parents appove of .....they dont mind FABO bcoz this is different and they can only see what im doing....i dont have any secrets.

all this car fever is sooo fun ....nothing is more relaxing than building something you can be proud of and MOPAR was a natural choice bcoz my adoptive family who brought me to the USA were always mopar ppl even before i was born and they owned an old salvage yard here which is why i have access to a lot of cars LOL

getting dirty is the best part ...i think i actually prefer working on the cars more than driving them....when i finish a project it feels empty. nothing like the smell of 90 weight and dirt and leaves in your hair sitting in a junkyard dog car imagining what could be and how you can accomplish it. LOL

sorry for long reply
