As I mentioned above, the Plymouth Fury is completely surrounded by polystyrene and that's within a cardboard box with no windows. I usually keep my models "mint in box", but I decided to carefully open the box just to make sure that the car was in perfect condition. The light bar is wrapped separately in the top of the box, with the car inside the main packaging. It's quite a weighty model and feels substantial, but it's not up to the detail level of some of my previous purchases. Only the front doors open, so no opening hood with engine, and no trunk. The tires are plastic rather than rubber, and the front wheels don't steer. The graphics look good (although there are no license plates), but I was rather surprised to find the body painted in an off-white. I would even go as far as to say that it's light beige. I was expecting brilliant white. Finally, the window surrounds are painted silver rather than chrome. Overall, I'd probably give it 7/10. It's the closest diecast replica of Rosco's car that's available in 1:18 scale, but it could've been better (I guess my Authentics General Lee gave me higher expectations). I'm glad that I've added this one to my collection, although I probably won't now be buying the 1975 Coronet. BTW. There's no mention of the Dukes of Hazzard or Warner Bros. on the box, so you have to look carefully to make sure you have the right model!

With the COTA race called because of rain Hendrick motorsports has now tied Petty Enterprises in 268 Cup series wins. Chase Elliott also gave Chevrolet it's 800th cup series win. Austin Cindric surprised everyone leading the first 5 laps on slicks and maintaining an 8+ second lead before pitting for rain tires. Stage two begun with a several accidents, the biggest when Cole Custer ran into the back of Martin Truex jr who was slow because of hitting Michael McDowell. All driver's walked away with no injury's. They red flagged the race for a while to clean the debris and blow off some of the puddles on the track and to allow teams to Rain X the windshields and back windows. They race restarted on lap 29 and stayed green till lap 54 when it was red flagged for heavy rain. This race ended William Byron's consecutive top 10 streak at 11 races. Top 10 1 Chase Elliot 2 Kyle Larson 3 Joey Logano 4 Ross Chastain 5 AJ Allmendinger 6 Chase Briscoe 7 Michael McDowell 8 Alex Bowman 9 Tyler Reddick 10 Kyle Busch Coca Cola 600 is next Sunday at 6pm eastern on Fox.

We had the grandkids so it was another busy and fun weekend. They wear us out but they are always fun. This new puppy is wearing us out too. She finally has gotten to a point where she'll sleep through the night.

Well it looks like the Inaugural COTA race is going to be called early for rain even though they have rain tires. To be honest I hope this is just a one and done deal if officials are just going to park the cars because of rain. From now on just postpone the races to dry days.

Here, borrow mine.

Our non-essential stores only reopened yesterday, and today I treated myself to one of these. Unfortunately, the model is encased in polystyrene, so it can't be displayed in the box. They also had a 1975 Coronet in Hazzard livery, but they're not cheap over here and I couldn't justify buying both!

The day is coming where owning a Dukes DVD will be a criminal offense. I know that sounds crazy but think about it. This is a trend we're seeing. Something in motion stays in motion unless acted on by another force. There is no force powerful enough to stop this trend. This political correct insanity cannot be put back in the bottle. America has spoken. The voters decided to vote liberals in and they now control everything. This will not end well for people like us.

I thought I'd heard that name ( Laura Branigan) and then I knew where when I heard the song! How did she die? She was hot!!!

Roof had a Rebel Flag, but he wasn't a Dukes' fan, right? What other folks are saying is that people and even certain media outlets will target the Dukes of Hazzard until it gets banned like other products out there have. You've heard about the Dr. Seuss books, correct? Six of them have been deemed "racist" and apparently, even if someone tries to sell on eBay they'll be removed (I haven't checked though I wouldn't be surprised). Those who want to cancel everything will eventually be canceled themselves. People around the world are losing freedom and free speech, yet they can't see it.
