SHOW OFF YOUR TOYS/Latest Purchases/Finds!

Thanks for the heads up on the Challenger T/A shirt at Wally World!! 
I have a red and black T/A so I had to have one, went to my local Wally World this morning, lots of t shirts but only a few car ones and they were all Chevy and Fords.  They had Puralator oil filters on sale, but didn't even have any 300001's that our vintage V8's use. 
But at lunchtime I hopped in my '09 Challenger and went to another store not too far from me, and they had the Challenger ones there! I bought one XL and one L at 5.44 each, they even had my oil filter in stock. 
Now if I can ever get the restoration finished on my T/A I'll be all set with my fashion when I drive it.

While a=I was at Wal mart I checked out the diecast and was kind disappointed.  I haven't been there in a bit and I remember they used to carry all sorts of cool stuff and they used to have really good discounts on toys.  Target used to have some diecast stuff too but not anymore. 

I remember years ago Walmart had those massive 1/6 scale 19.2volt RC cars.  I should have grabbed one when they were on clearance.  Probably better off though, too much junk in the basement anyhows...

Ok I broke down and when to Chinamart to get those shirts. No luck ..... It's been a long time since I've bought something at Walmart, I guess it will be awhile longer yet!

I don't have a Walmart close by  , I was on a trip over close to one.  If I go in that area again, I can pick one up for you.  Don't know when I'll be in the area again though...

Craigslist sometimes has some good stuff but you really have to look around.  Never know what you'll find!

Walgreens today............they had 3...........$6.99......can't beat the  price...........

[Chryco Psycho]

Looks like you could have bought all 3 for $12

Better stock up on the Walgreen's stuff.  At least in the ones I have gone to locally, the "Buy 2, get one free" deal is gone!    Been only finding Maisto 1/24 stuff for $9.99 there at the last few Walgreens I have seen.  I really like it as not only was that a cool price but they had everything from Challengers, to a '70 GTX to VW Bugs and Jeeps.

Got this for $100 off craigslist.  It's a 2010 Baja Warrior mini bike. 

Guy sold it to me cheap as it had no compression after he replaced an intake valve that snapped and the throttle was all messed up due to a removed governor set up and Mickey Moused throttle cable, meaning unsafe. 

Adjusted the valve and it has compression and made some throttle and choke levers and it starts up using a rope as the recoil starter is missing.  This is my anti theft device!  Starts and idles well.  Haven't driven it yet as I have the chain off to rev the engine to figure out the light circuit to see how many lights it can support.

Something tells me your boys are going to be having fun with that

The kids get to play with it in the yard.  Can't on the road until they are 16 years old. 

I still have to work out the bugs and make sure that the engine doesn't grenade when driving at the higher speeds.

Not a good place to have an engine grenade.  That's for sure.

Ok, not quite a toy but sorta.  I have cars with aluminum alloy rims and they tend to oxidize over the years, inside and out. Well, when they oxidize around the bead they make a slow leak.  I had a tire place try to fix it but all they do is break the bead and put some rubber sealant on it and it leaks again.

I used to fix this when I was a mechanic by removing the tire then sanding the rim with a whizzer tool.  Have to sand the bead area on the tire as flat as possible or else it'll leak again.

Was on sale for $45 than I had a 20% off coupon so got it for like $36 plus tax.  Works on as small as an 8" rim so I can theoretically use it on my mini bike rims if I have to change the tires one day.

This will help as the set of snow tires on separate rims that leak and I have to fill the tires every 2-3 days.

   Yup.  The deal is the previous owner removed the governor controls and the throttle cable goes right to the throttle butterfly on the carb.  I just have to make sure I don't over rev it, which may have been the case as to why the guy had to replace the intake valve.  Said it snapped when he was passing cars doing supposedly as he claims 65mph.        These are built to do like 24mph tops but when you take off the governor bad things happen, like snapped intake valves maybe.  I doubt he was doing 65mph, although he was passing cars on the highway he was on so he claims.... 

If you are curious about what I'm doing with it I have a "resto" thread about how I'm bringing it back form the dead here:
