I have seen the same lame ass models; prius, austin mini van, corvettes, Mazda 2 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I am in South Dakota at the moment in Sioux Falls. I will be hitting Worthington (MN or SD I am not sure) on the way to Fulda and will check there, of course.

One of these is most definitely not lame. It could be a better color, but the ZR1 is awesome.

That said, K-Mart had a whole bunch of Priuses (Prii?) but no 914's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I saw a yellow Jaguar E-Type today at TRU. Almost bought it but bailed.

Where the hell are the 914's? Do east coasters get screwed over even on the little bitty ones?

I did it myself. There are a lot of different wheel styles on other cars in the rack. Find one with the same axle width, drill out the rivets on the bottom of both ( used a rechargeable drill and a bit about the size of the rivet), cut the little forks holding the original axles in, Slide in the new ones, and JB weld or a similar alternative. I notched the chrome plastic piece that retains the axles from the top with a hobby knife to drop the stance. I haven't JB'ed it together, yet, but the total time involved is probably under 5 minutes and $2-$3 for a donor mobile for rims.

What's TRU? Oh, probably Toys "R" Us, duh.....

East Coasters can't find both rust free real 914's or 914 toy cars! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Thanks! I'm going to have to look into that as soon as I can find another 914 to modify.

Still Looking in the NYC area, haven't found one yet.
