"They are too much trouble for our kids." If I'm reading between the lines correctly I think they are too much trouble for dad. :lol:

4 T-Maxxes and a ? What's the buggy at the left?

And if the buggy is also too much of a handful for the kids, it makes me wonder about the kids... :lol:

This one cracks me up- just the terrible condition and that he keeps reposting it at the same price. Not to mention that his whole setup was probably less than $400 when brand new 20+ years ago.
This has to be the 5th time in 3 weeks he reposted (btw how do people do that? CL boots me if I use two of the same words in a description!!). Anyway, first time I saw it I emailed wondering if he meant to type $40. Apparently not. I am now tempted to send another email asking how much without the expensive radio gear. :roll:
The preceding contained opinions, beliefs and thoughts that all may not agree with. No offense was intended at any point. Carry on.

Nothing untoward with this one, you perverts..... car is a Corally, and had a Corally decal along the bottom of the chassis, but the 'C' was removed when he snapped the front bumper off.....

:shock: :roll: :wink:
