Through my life, I have wanted a Ferrari, a mansion, ( To be rich) , to be a world famous rock singer , etc. etc. but now, just a few days short of being 61 ( Aug. 31) , I simply want to be at peace , with a simple life and be debt free and not have to work. The crazy thing is I have all this and I'm not sure if I'll ever buy anything crazy ( mansion, Ferrari, Lamborghini etc.) but now that I'm in a position to do these things.....I have no desire! Go figure! When you don't have it, you want it and when you do have it, you don't really have a desire! weird huh? Here's something else I've noticed. .......When I was in college ( you know the time of your life, when it's, " Money? What's money? " ) I was buying Heineken Beer on Thursday nights, that was the Friday night for us! We would schedule, as much as possible the easiest and fewest classes for Friday and then when that last class is done, it's back home and Weekend time! Anyway, Thursday, I'd go to 3rd and Main Market and buy a 6 pk. of Heineken and .....well you know the rest ! I always said, drink Heineken and you'll feel fine again! now that I'm able to buy that expensive beer on the reg. like I did then, I buy Milwaukees Best Ice or Natural Ice. Weird huh?

Ha! Ha! No! Brian May, the top pic in the middle of the picture. He was Queen's lead guitarist.

today is jeff ALTMAN'S birthday

I think he has a PHD in English.....( ? ) It wouldn't surprise me to find out he was in Mensa.

As great as all the Dukes are, everyone of them on the entire show, including us, started out, as a ZYGOTE!

When you got to meet him, you felt like you were visiting an old friend again. He just made you feel that way. He'll be missed.

You're right. I've just looked at the prices people are asking for rare 1:18 Dukes diecast models.

He can ask 5 grand for it but good luck selling it for anywhere near that. We've been selling antique furniture from our parents estate. It has been a real eye opener. Prices on the internet do not represent the real world.

I'm afraid I can't help much. I'm not even sure if they were sold over here. I did find a 2012 article on the Dukes of Hazzard Collector blog where someone restored one of these pedal cars. As far as I can see, he just fixed the steering, cleaned it up and got someone to recreate the decals. There's no mention of a sound module. Maybe you can find someone selling a trashed car with a working module. I did find one seller on eBay asking $5,000 for a car "in working condition and in good shape for being 43 yrs old.". As far as I can tell, that's with fading decals and without a box! BTW. Had anyone at Coleco ever seen a '69 Dodge Charger? I understand that making an open pedal car isn't going to produce an exact replica, but the front looks more like a '69 Pontiac GTO, there's a spoiler on the trunk and the wheels are completely wrong. At least their 1984 KITT looks like a Trans Am.

No idea.....but welcome to the HazzardNet.

you got me on that one bud but maybe some of the Brainiacs in here ( like Hoss or Roger) will know. If not, I'd suggest Google it.

Happy 75th birthday Hughie Hogg!
