hi ms.bc. yah, it's very unfortunate that there are idiots out there like them taffyapples that cant pay for their own well being. and we have to share the roads with them and care for them.

i dont have time to be dealing with bodyshops and all, so i prefer trying to minimize crashes by only driving my Z during the day, and on early hours on the weekends (but not too early as hungover people are rushing to their part-time jobs. ) even if i paid $$ for the poor person Fit, i still prefer drving that ecnobox vs driving my G in the snow.

i think it is a matter of time i get hit by a deer though while motoring my G or Z....

hi mr. gale! yah, definitely not worth the risk. you can be all set and ready with snow tires and all, but everyone can still smash into you. one of the main reasons why i dont drive my G in the snow.

hi mr.alcheng. sorry to hear about the slow sales today. hope it clears soon.

hahaha, but ms. bc, at least you dont have deep snow.

hey luna!
Thank you Mr.kenchan.. In fact I got couple calls from customers and I told them it doesn't worth to come to the store today, and we have arranged time for the coming weekend, so it's all good.

I just order a new radio and couple car-body for the R/C car...

Talk with my friend (another one who sell R/C parts) and he told me more about the track we are going to race in Mar, then I choice which body-shell and going to test it out on the 23rd, I think the radio is going to be here by then..
