I have not built models since I was a kid. I have a friend who is into building all kinds of models big time. He convinced me that we should build at least one model together. I have a 69 Barracuda 340 4-speed fastback car, so I found a 69 Barracuda model and bought it. I have paint left over...

Crazy indeed. The formula the government uses to calculate inflation is a weird mess that does not include a lot of stuff we want / need to spend our money on.
