Wow! you sure would need a whale of a collection to get the guy to male the trade.Don't forget that the maintenence and insurance cost of a Lexus would be rather high.

The type of car he has isn't worth it. A 1962 Corvette? Hmmm

Dave, I like Corvettes. One of my brothers and I go back and forth on whether we would want the 62 or the 61. Not much difference except the coves on the 61 are painted a different color in some instances. I tend to like the 61 for that reason. Right now I have a 2 boat garage so, the next house I buy is going to have less living space (except for the spacious basement for the layout) , but will have a 4 stall garage.

I don't understand you guys........ Now really how silly would that car look on your layout? A level of resonability must apply.

Don: I have a 1954 Corvette on my layout! Of course it is 1/43 scale.

Hey, I will trade the old HO stuff I am trying to get rid of. Then I can give the car to my wife and earn lots of points to by more trains.

Well, at least he's not trading his Lexus in for a Corvair![;)][:P][:)] I wonder how many bids he'll get?

LOL Keith,
I'd trade a Lexus for a Corvair....of course it'd have to be a 1960-64 PW Corvair...not one of those cheapy 1965-69 MPC Corvairs....you know, the ones made out cast metal instead of plastic. [;)]
