Re[2]: Model Cars

[Toby Erkson <Toby_Erkson@ccm2.hf.intel.com>]

When I was younger I was quite the modeler.  I think that's when my 
customization personality came into being.  My airplanes were never factory 
fresh, they were strafed with bullet holes and showed signs of an engine 
fire at one time or another (you don't wanna know about the tanks... :)

But now I prefer the pre-made models like the 1/18 scale Porsches by 
Maisto.  Working steering, sun-visors, targas, spring suspensions, rubber 
wheels that rotate, made of metal and pretty good detailing.  They cost $20 
to $40 each.

If you're talking the pre-made models then, by all means, count me in!  A 
working rear hatch *and* deck lid would be so cool.

I guess I 'll consider this kind of a survey:
How many people out there would pay $30.00 or so for a simple type 3
model???  By simple I mean a good looking shelf model with a moderate
amount of chassis/engine/suspension detail.  As with any business,
demand says a lot for product availability, so I'm curious as to what
others think of this!
