$5 Clones are back baby

Went to Rite Aid today and thought, well shit, wonder if they have any clones kickin around? Sure enough they did in an Isle that was all toys by the same company (I am guessing a Rite Aid Brand). Well 1st off the suckers were marked at $5.99 and I was like hellz yeah, bout time I found a place up here in bumfuck Maine that has cheap bits.

As I looked it got a little cooler, they had different body styles. Course they had the Cellica and Skyline, but there was an F1 style crappy clone and a motorcycle on training wheels clone. And then there was this thing, it was a hatch back so I just had to have her, may mod her into well.. I donno, but she needs some modding.

Took my two cars up to the register and they rang up at $5.99 each but then got $2 off... well whatever, that mean $5, and that's cool w/ me. Brought em home and hey hey, they were all up standard scale and standard working... other than the accursed wired motor... bah.

Everything about em is Average, from run time to speed, basically what you would expect from a clone. So if you are down, grab some for yourselfs. Here are some close ups of the Hatchback just to eat up bandwidth.

And what post is complete without SKyLinez

What the hell is that? It sorta looks like a 2-door PT Cruiser.

I'm diggin' the paint on it. It's actually a pretty cool shell...original. you could probably make a kick ass ride with that thing.

It also looks like the closest thing I've seen to a VW GTI, which would be a fun car to turn it into, Finks-style.

The Toyata Vitz may be a good call...not sure though, the Vitz is also the Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix.

Good Eye Finks!

I'm checkin out da Rite Aid & Eckerds tomorrow !

I like that Eco, it's different! Just like when the Peugeuot 206 came out,
had to have one!

Yeah, I am down w/ the idea of it being an Echo. The Scion is more sharp looking in the front, where as the Echo is rounder like this. It also could be easily converted into a 2 door PT convertable. Those are 2 door right? Bottom line tho, there are Rite Aids all the hell over the place and these are priced to move. Enjoy the savings pimps.

Well I went to my local RA today. I went thru, at the very front of the
store they had everything but the Micros.....Damn ! So I bought some
water.

Then I went the other RA in the underground. They had all the $5.99 - $10.99
up on the top shelf in eisle 1, I searched like hell, no Micros again.
But I continued to search and just before I was going out the door,
I looked back over at eisle 1 and there was a table (which I didn't
see cause I was looking up), under a bunch of other stuff were 5 Micros.
Got my Echo and a Hummer. I picked the Hummer cause it had the off road tyres.
They also had a Motorcycle, Celica and Skyline.

"What goes in the hatch is up to you"?
