Yes!
I have a wonderful Wife! (I do, I do...)
She gives me a call while cruising Salvation Army about an AF/X set that is there. "Um, the track is there and some car pieces are there but no whole cars." So I ask "How much is it?" My Wife replies "Well, the box is marked $19.99 but there is a 1/2 price sale so it is probably 10 bucks."
So I reply to her "Get it." Then she tells me "There is also an Ultra 5 set, whatever that is. But there are no cars in the box."
I tell her "Leave the Ultra 5, get the AFX. Thanks honey, see you tonight."
I get home and dig through the box and toss all the track with broken tabs away. (Which leaves me with 4 nine inch turns... Go figure. :lol: )
And also 4 magna-traction chassis, 1 smashed Corvette and a beauty of a blue Nomad!
Well I know a post is useless without pictures so here goes...

Get her some flowers too Scott!

Check that green wire red tip chassis, early looking. Dated chassis?

Congrats! :woohoo:

dude, thats a score. That 'Mad would sell for $25-$30 minimum on EvilBay. Seeing that A/P vette in that kinda shape is a crying shame though.

Hey, you can save that Vette!!! The paint scheme is perfect. If you like dirt track racin, you can transform that Vette into a Saturday night warrior, like this one!!!

Rich the KING of dirt track ideas strikes again. Dude, you ROCK! No car is truely a loss with the patented NTxRich Dirt Track Mod. No bumpers, no posts, no glass? No problem!!! Slap a gnarley wing on the roof, add a mondo spoiler to the back, pop in some roll cage, strip away those front fenders and you're good to go! Sano! Cool looking vette, Rich! :drunk::hat::freak::dude::thumbsup:
