@perrone1 I picked up on that miscalculation as well Tony....it's easy to do....but a person has to be mindful of their guzindas in order to not waste chalk.

Math was easy for me. It was my guzindas that caused the problems. For instance when I put 12 guzinda 144, I get 17.6. REALLY? What the hey?? I HATE guzindas!

I know this was a VERY limited run, AND friends can always spike-up auctions, but....

1/43 Goldvarg Collection - 1968 Ford Galaxie 500 XL Gulfstream Aqua | eBay

I sold my Tahitian Rose version for $350 when I saw the prices skyrocket.  The 61 Impalas were/are hot and the 60 Mercurys.  They all sold in that price range.  I loved the models but the prices were too good to ignore.

I have both of those in the same colors. Nice to see they are escalating.

@perrone1 That was probably metric math you were using Tony.

Very possible Jack. I took to using a slide rule for a while but it kept sliding!!  Surprised

@perrone1 I find that you have to take a measure of caution using slide rules.  As a rule I tend to avoid them whenever possible.

Yeah! You can't get an accurate measure on the dumb thing - it keeps sliding. A real moving target. A footlong hot dog usually measures a foot and a half. What good is the dumb thing?

@perrone1 I would consider duct taping that slide in place Tony......before you tear a nail or even worse.

On a separate note....I have a strong suspicion you may be eating metric hot dogs my friend.

Metric? you might be right.

But my latest problem is the dang hot dogs sliding off the shorter buns!!

@perrone1 Tony....I suggest wrapping half of the hot dog with a large napkin then tightly wrap over the tissue with duct tape to ensure there is no wiener slippage.  When the exposed half has been eaten, pull the wiener out of the duct wrapped remainder and feed it to the dog.  Considering the wiener is about 25 inches long (183 centimeters +-) you should only need to eat half to be full.  I hope this helps.

This helps far more than you might ever imagine. Shirl has been stapling her one half of the dog to the bun but the mustard hides half of them and I already have enough iron in me. (A little duct tape would only add fiber!! Amazed )
