That Vanning really seals the deal! :mrgreen:

TTMT: It's in a scene from one of my favorite movies. THE POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE. Mickey Rourke was/is one of my heroes. I couldn't believe it when I heard he was making a comeback.
Eric Roberts actually had the line, but he did a great job too. I saw it when I was 16 and have worn my hair like he did in that movie since. Well, the corporate world has made me turn it down a notch, but I have to feed my family...Seriously though, if I were rich I'd offer big$$ for this ride... :mrgreen:

You ain't kiddin'! I thought I was sick 'til I stumbled upon this site. I also thought I knew a lot about RC10s. Man was I wrong! Come to find out I know nothing! I have learned that I like to look at old RC10s, but honestly have no desire to own one unless it's NIB. Weird... :?

A. NO ONE CAN EVER OFFEND ME!! I'm too comfortable with myself for that.
B. I knew what you meant. It's all about Priorities(spelling?)
If you have a great collection...SHARE IT!!! That's why I hang out on this site so much. :D

How does the front of your car sit? Mine seems a little high. I am thinking about making a new shock mount to try and lower the front suspension a little bit. I just finished painting the metal parts for my car. As soon as I get the car back together I will post some pics of it.
