NEED HELP IDENTIFYING AN ANTIQUE/VINTAGE TOY CAR I FOUND?!?!?

Posted on May 18, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

I Found this car metal detecting. I was very dirty and had the original black wheels, but they broke into pieces when my fiance tampered with them.

It is all metal (possibly cast aluminum?)

Can’t find any info on this type of car.

If anyone can answer the following questions, I would be grateful.

make
model
year
who possibly made it? (I think I see writing, but it’s too faded to tell)
what type of medal it looks like
about what year was it made
is it worth anything in this condition

Refer to the following pics

Thank you

Premise: There is a prototype car – garanteed unstealable… mind bender?

Posted on May 14, 2012 by admin| 9 Comments

Only one key will start the car and not even the manufacturer can make a copy of this key.

A thief steals the key, runs half a block and is immediately arrested by the cops. He is taken downtown. He is searched, x-rayed, even fed laxatives and his clothes are shredded but the key is not found.

They search a 2 block radius around the crime scene with metal detectors, bloodhound, shovels, psychics too. The key is not found.

The thief has no friends or family or accomplice. He is not an expert animal trainer. He can’t talk to animals. He isn’t a magician. And all he had on him was a key-ring with 2 keys – his house and car. they are both searched from top to bottom just in case (even though they are miles away) and nothing is found.

They interrogate the thief, put a tail on him and eventually lose interest.

About 10 days after the crime, The thief walks up to the car, pulls the key from his pocket and takes the car.

How did he do it?

First correct answer wins!!
There is an answer and you guys are not even close… And if you want the solution, I expect mucho stars.

Caveat / hint: People who are not from North-America will find this virtually impossible to solve.
One of you guys is very close but in his/her answer my hint about non-Americans makes absolutely no sense. Try to keep it in mind, it might lead you in the right direction.

Where can I get American Silver Eagles cheap?

Posted on April 14, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

Alright so my grandfather wants to sell me his car, but he won’t let me pay him with cash. He wants me to hunt down 15 Silver Eagle coins in exchange for the car. They have to be MS 70.
The cheapest I can find them for is $40 a pop and I need 15 of them.

So what I’m asking for is a place to buy them cheaper, because the cheaper I find them the cheaper that car is going to be for me and I don’t have a lot of money right now.
