Dammit, Stan. Social liberty, remember? Immoral conspicuous consumption? Who exactly decides that?

It's Obama's fault........LOL! ops:

Oops :laughing:

yeah except those guys with the guns were in the union... I mean isn't social and economic justice/equality what their leader preached? That is how he came to power IIRC.

there may be more union families on here than you think

With social liberty comes responsibility. Responsibilty is so lacking at all income levels.
From gold teeth on welfare recipients to gold watches on tax break recipients. They both have too much money and I paid for both of them.

Well, you didn't pay for any of mine so I'll decide for myself how to spend it.

Ross, I know I didn't and believe me, I know how you have busted your balls. I would never begudge you a nickel of it.

Stan, I swear I'm not looking for a fight with you but I am beyond perplexed by your take on wealth. We've beat this horse before but I just can't understand your point of view.

To get back on subject.... These are nothing new.

IIRC, these were built for a model car company (MPC?) to promote their models of the same. I remember seeing one get pushed into position at an indoor car show and the guy wasn't straining at all... So I'll bet the engine blocks weren't cast iron.

Some more stuff, complete with scantily clad women to calm everyone down.

I think the best way is to say it and it should pretty much cover all bases. I'm a cheap prick and unfortunately for others, I preach way too much what I practice.
My whining and bitching about "conspicuous consumption" really ought to be thoughts that I keep to myself because it's again, like running head long into an oncoming freight train. Same results and it only delays the freight while they sponge me off the front.
Warning: Attacking me because I am a union member will push my button.

Yes ,I had a model of one that I built as a kid. IIRC it was the VW. I think MPC is correct. The first model I built was the Little Red Wagon!!

My Grandpa and Dad were life long union guys.

If the Army counts...... I've always been in management (NCO since year 2 and Senior NCO since year 8 in the Army) and in management my entire life since the Army.
