You outdid yourself with the van thing at the bottom there. No contest.

Question. How is it that cars like these are kept and decent cars like the ones in the background get crushed? Inquiring minds wanna know.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
Easy, Earnest.....Swifty does bangers. Bangers think taking a perfecly good car and wrecking it in preparation to make it smashable is normal thinking. :toofunny:

JEDIMARIO, I thought the RX-8 (if that is what it is supposed to be) was the winner, but yuk for yuk, the Prairie caught up, Upon closer comparison, the Prairie's blue glass pushed it over the cliff for me. :broken:

For realism, I guess. It'd be no good having a yard full of cars that don't actually resemble what they are supposed it. Then it'd look really bad.

My vote went to the Nissan Prairie, if that's what you want to call it. It's such a bad casting, it could be any small 80's/90's minivan. I'd love to see it crushed although it's not good enough to put in Swifty's yard.

that's pretty sad when something isn't good enough for a salvage yard.

Yup! James_autos was correct- the cars featured this week are cars that just aren't realistic enough for my junkyard. I posed them in front of the crushed car stacks for irony.

I'm surprised the Kenner is the only other car to get votes thusfar. I expected the RX-8 to give the minivan a run for the money! The Kenner was one of the better cars this week (in my opinion anyway!).

Swifty, I came close to voting for the RX-8, but the Prairie's blue glass and classy graphics was the final dry heave.

I like the Nissan Prairie (Reason I have it as a casting) because of the fact that it is soooo horrible! Bangering it soon actually!

It was hard for me to vote for only 1 WORST (bad) casting. I see 1 casting that I like, and 6 castings that I don't like.

I couldn't vote. :unsure:

on a side note models like the prairie and the rx8 really ask the question if there safe for kids compared to like an mb as ive noticed and can remember having the cheap diecasts when i was younger that there extremely easy to break .
