When I started this post, I laid out all the new metal my wife had bought for me and took a silly picture. So, just for fun, I thought i'd lay out some of the the metal (or what was left of it) that came out of the car too... wasn't till i stood back and looked at it that I thought,  I DID THAT!!!! :scared:

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

Proof the apple doesn't fall far from the tree..... My 8 year old daughter found an unbuilt Challenger model kit in the basement and asked if she could have it. I asked her what it was going to look like when she was finished. (thinking it would be a Pink T/A or something along those lines..) She said "Dad, I want it to look just like yours when we brought it home"
