I've been ripped off!!!!!!!!!
Today the mailman brought me the latest Speedway catalog, one dedicated to T buckets. I started looking through it, and found their "new" Tribute T. I did a double take. If this thing isn't a clone of my old 23, I don't know what is.
They even had the gall to paint one black and put two two's on it with backwards scoops! There are so many similarities it is strange, like the way the rear wishbones are done, the lowness of the entire car, the low, slanted windshield, the same gas tank and tail lights.
I think Speedway owes me one of these kits free.......I spoke to my Attorneys, Dewey, Cheatum, and How. They recommend suing the pants off of Speedy Bill, but I like Speedway, so I'm just going to let it pass.
Could it be that Speedy Bill reads stuff on Club Hot Rod???

Do look a lot alike, but of course Speedy Bill just had to one up you with the quickie in the back!!! Hey, come to think of it I know a guy in the complaint/legal department at Speedway, maybe he could do you some good and throw some extra parts your way... his name is U. Ben Haad....

Yeah Pops, you're just another Norm Grabowski, settin' trends. Next will be a TV show with a parking lot attendant driving your ol' car. Although they won't be askin' YOU to borrow a comb.......................

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

I called them and they suggested I talk to the head of their complaint department U Ben Haad retired. There is a new lady in charge ,I think her name is Helen Waite.............they said "go to Helen Waite ", or something like that.
Seriously, I did think it was funny when I saw it. There are so many similarities, they even mounted a Flaming River Corvair type steering box up on a high pedestal, like mine. If I knew this one was coming in 2011 I would have just waited and saved a whole lot of fabricating and designing!
And Bob, for you information, I DO have a comb...........only it has less teeth than the normal ones.
