So I've decided to sculpt a Bronze Buffalo to go on the sides of my bus up front near the Driver and Passenger windows, no Dogs for Me! Here's what the clay looks like. Sam  | ||

BS...! It's a ...... CHOCOLATE one from the Montana State Fair before they deep-fried it...& w/o the stick...!! JUST becauze you got a Buffalo it don't mean you are so smart that you can pull the wool over MY eyes Buster.. I know you're kind and dumb (you're HERE ) & paid real cash for an Antique GM Bus.. but before you pull ahead of THIS '06 (non-turbo'ed 8-71 Buffaloes ARE followers btw) you're gonna have get up a whole lot earlier in the day... ;) BTW-duex.... Montana WAS a far better choice for a deep fried state mascot than say, Minni-Soda or Whiz-con-Sin... Gopher's & Cattle are not good inspirations for a Mascot on a GM Coach... and neither is a Florida saltine... just to stir a stilled pot... | ||

I drove Fooey's '4905 several hundred miles... HE says " Man THIS really drives better than my 4107 did.!" So I crawl behind the wheel... only to find out that it feels like a NASCAR racer and my '64 - '06 feels like a Go-Cart. The honest truth is that my 06 feels exactly like my Corvair GreenBriar Van when it has 400 or more pounds of cargo in the middle, the Corvairs brakes are better tho! (there is at LEAST 1 other person here who can attest to that feeling too!) From my 1 time experience with a 4905... the extra length & height are substantial impediments..... . .. . and here I was kicking myself for a lot of years because I jumped too soon & dint buy a 4905 for all the extra space. NO MO.  BTW... Nice work..... REALLY! . . . when they certify you as crazy & you go to the BIG HOME behind the trees.. you'll be the BMOC of the Craft classes! ;) (Message edited by Jack_fids on August 15, 2011) | ||

I know 9 people and between them and me we'd need 3 cosigners just to borrow a nickel. | ||

Kinda like what Jack said,,, You never know what you can do when your locked up in a padded room. The mind is a terrible thing to waste, just trying to figure out different ways to use it. Thanks Kevin | ||
