Fuel for the Fir: Hot Rod Ornaments
Cal Car Cover has a set of Xmas ornaments that will leave no doubt about your gearhead status: miniature engines in three flavors. The Chevy Tri-Power 427, Chrysler 426 Hemi, and Ford SOHC Blown Fuel 427 are two inches long and guaranteed not to drip oil on the floor. These are ornaments for people who've had a "summer project" car in the garage for the past eight years, the kind that takes up so much space that daily drivers have to be parked outside. Buy the whole set, and you too can have three-on-the-tree.

Just in time for the holidays. I'd like to see some rotary motor ornaments, and some dohc motors too.
Anyways, to all bloggers and responders out there. Happy Holidays and Happy New Years.

I have some Hot Wheels sized cars that I turned into ornaments on my tree.

Isn't the belt on that engine run the wrong way? If I'm gonna hang a Hemi from my christmas tree, I'd like it to be accurate.

That's exactly the kind of thing you want to find! The current owner can't figure out what's wrong with it, so he sells it to you really cheap. Then you put the belt on the right side of the pulley, and you just doubled the value. I'm assuming these are sold at reduced price because they're assembled wrong, right?

Good thinkin', M!
LOL. That's an excellent life lesson in car (and christmas tree ornament) shopping.
