product that moves me. A 1969 Dodge Super Bee, no doubt built by UAW labor, back when Detroit's stuff really got my motor running. I bought this model two days ago from a man running the Worldwide Hobby Shop in downtown Willcox, Arizona, my home town. He recently moved to a new location downtown, paring his inventory down to a very small amount of merchandise. He is also doing computer IT help work on an outcall basis and tells me that the calls for help are slowing down to an unprecedented level, because of the economy. I'm going to paint this one Transparent Candy Apple Red with a grey carbon fibre hood. Putting together models like this are a slow labor of love for me.

Replying to: cooterbfd (Nov 23, 2008 7:14 am) I hope you know that is illegal. The buying and selling by officers is reported (in clear print at each brokerage for all to see) and the SEC demand this by law. INTENT TO SELL OR INTENT TO BUY IS FILED and not insider information. Besides, those others on the board of directors are more than likely share holders and they have lost money. Losing money is considered serious business. Just name one case where the original stock options were rewritten. The golden chute is one thing and stock option are another.

wait a minute, dude, this '69 Dodge Superbee is a plastic Revell model. You're talking about a real SS 396 that was stolen, right?

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Nov 23, 2008 9:58 am) Then I saw the joint venture were airless tires were developed for the MULE. They will in no time be out for the general public, that is the non pneumatic tires.

Replying to: dallasdude1 (Nov 23, 2008 1:01 pm) LA TIMES, 2005 - At least 17 senators and 11 members of the House have children, spouses or other close relatives who lobby or work as consultants, most in Washington, according to lobbyist reports, financial-disclosure forms and other state and federal records. Many are paid by clients who count on the related lawmaker for support. But Harry Reid is in a class by himself. One of his sons and his son-in-law lobby in Washington for companies, trade groups and municipalities seeking Reid's help in the Senate. A second son has lobbied in Nevada for some of those same interests, and a third has represented a couple of them as a litigator. In the last four years alone, their firms have collected more than $2 million in lobbying fees from special interests that were represented by the kids and helped by the senator in Washington. So pervasive are the ties among Reid, members of his family and Nevada's leading industries and institutions that it's difficult to find a significant field in which such a relationship does not exist. |
