Cleaning out the car
 

We have a VW Cabrio that has in the garage since 2010. Today my son and I pushed it out to see what kind of luck we'd have getting it running and I started going through it to clean out some of the accumulated crapola that had been in it since the last ride in October of 2010. Opened the trunk and found a bag from Johnny's Toys, which back then was my weekly go-to place for the hobby, now sadly gone. Inside I found two cans of Testors paint, transparent blue and candy apple red. Not sure what the project was going to be. Not sure I can figure out a use for them even now. Also in the bag was a pack of E9-6 motors. Motors ran me $14.99 and both cans of paint were $3.79 for a total of $23.92.
I think prices might have gone up a bit. :eek:
Man, I miss Johnny's. :(

This has nothing to do with your car or rockets but it's a good tune with the name 'Johnny' and 'a car.'

I think you'll like it!

BTW, what year is the VW?

1997. It's running, but it has a whole host of "almost 20 year old VW" issues. I forgot to mention that I also found a pack a Swisher Sweets and a Macanudo in the console. :cool: That makes three cigars I've found in the last few days in oddball places throughout the house. I guess I'm all set for this Tuesday night.

Poker night?

What temperature extremes did those motors experience? Are you about to treat us to some more spectacular cato pictures?

Where was Johnny's? I might have visited when in town for NARAM-47.

:rolleyes: Yes.
You may have visited the Greenhills location. That was in the Beer Skunk's territory. Mine was the Latonia location, much further south. (And the original location, I might add.) Mom and Dad started shopping there when I was born, and they closed for good right around the time I turned 50, so we had a pretty good run.

I'm thinking those E9's have been converted into some pretty decent M-80's.

You would not believe all the great stores that have closed their doors in my area because of the big box stores. They have decimated this country for buying merchandise.
