Oh yeah, Tom, I remember. Mine have been gone in the trash for quite awhile. :-)

But I have the metal model thanks to a good friend. It's more better than the paper ones. <grin>

Is yours rapid red? I seem to recall it was another color

No, the real car is Rapid, the model is Race with white.

That's right. I'm waiting for the rapid red version.

Speaking of this paper car getting old, I put the feelers out yesterday pertaining to the latest shipment holds. Nobody's talking. According to Earl, some of the cars produced are getting sidetracked and held for extra scrutiny. Some have been halted enroute at the rail yard. We will soon enough see how I make out with that. I should be returned from Penske later this week or early next week.

Damn, I used to make these with my dad when I was a kid.

Very early in the covid lockdown, car and driver posted them for people to pass the time. A bunch of us here made these to pass the time.

Mik: My Dad loved building models too but airplanes were his thing so we built a ceiling full of those. Then it was monsters and when I was almost old enough to drive, I started building cars. Loved that part, especially the painting and decals. :-)

Thanks for the memories. <grin>

Not complaining, but the paper car is getting old. I can't throw it out.... that would be a jinx.

You don't strike me as the superstitious type, Tom.

I know better than to crumple that car into a ball of paper and throw it away.

Thanks, I know. The paper car was just a form of humor, part of the journey. I can wait, I will wait, I am all too familiar with the journey.

Viking funeral. Pays your respects, and doesn't invite the wrath of either the car's spirit, or the Car Gods.

Oh yes, when the CFTP is in my garage. Big party (social distancing applies). I may just strap it to a rocket left over from the forth of July.
