How many of us spent hours of our youth carefully clipping parts off the plastic tree for our latest Revell or Monogram hot rod or airplane? I can’t count the number of models I built, they must number in the hundreds.

Racebricks: Super cool collectibles

Possibly the highlight of the CarFixWorld show for me was the discovery of this incredible product. Racebricks are blocks of glass that have been internally etched with lasers. The etching shows details of NASCAR cars and NHRA cars, along with the driver’s signatures and team logos. Each brick comes with it’s own illuminated base that brings the designs to life.

How to get good service: Tip #1 Get referrals

It may sound basic, but before choosing a service facility, get recommendations from other people who drive the same model car as you. What’s that, you don’t know anyone else who drives an Avanti? No problem. Thanks to the net, car owners clubs are now closer than ever. What does this mean to you? It means that most clubs have message boards for exchange of information, even for you Avanti Owners. Often that information includes cheers and jeers for car dealerships. Now remember, this is the virtual world, so sometimes you need to take some of the advice given with a grain of salt but usually people will steer you in the right direction. If others have had good experiences, chances are that you will too. The added benefit is that there are dealerships who actually support their owner’s clubs and offer discounts for club members.
Oh yes, if you find many complaints online regarding a certain dealer, it’s probably a wise move to stay away.
