Not sure how to say this in a way that won't be blunt but here goes: please go take a spelling class. its very ignorant to misspell ignorance when your trying to bust on someone..
hope i didnt piss you off too much i try to just give respect but i feel like your pushing my buttons so i push back....

Lol! touché, I deserved that remark on the spelling. I responded too quickly and knew it was blunt, but anyway. I stand by what I said, your statements read more like complaints about Associated's product pricing strategy (last I checked we don't tell them how to run their business) and bringing in your job and income situation and inflation still isn't relevant to how they price their products.

Tried a few times to follow your train of thought on Tamiya and Trader Joes, but it makes zero sense. No more arguing about the pricing though on parts or the kit, jeez. If you don't like the price don't buy it.

I would like a new Ferrari, how dare they price cars outside of my reach?

I did not do the work in the manual. I stopped making manuals after the B3/T3/GT.

There's a lot of black chassis cars already out there. Plus, you can just hit the re-release chassis with some black paint if you really wanted to.

I see the re-release like a beautiful replica kit-car. The great looks of the original, but you don't have to be afraid of throwing it hard into the corner.

net - AE's (or shall I say, TT, but I suspect this is an old-school driven project by Cliff and the vintage-knowledgeable boys) call. If they want to price it $500 and it sells, good for them - it probably would have. If they want to price it $250 and it sells, better for us. They're here to make a living, they aren't an NGO, and even at the price they sell here I don't think they're making that much cash.

Now if someone can find me an original A-stamp chassis in NIB condition and readily available (read- no barn or bargain bin find) for less than $100, I'll buy...
