Hes in NYC, He probably has an apartment

to clear this up for you-NYC has 5 buroughs; Manhattan, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens, and the Bronx. when a new yorker says "the city" it means manhattan.

i live in SI, mostly houses and half-houses but its got a bit of everything

[:Exige:]

i plan on painting my room during the break an i have a question for those of you with alot of 1:18 scale model cars; what is the best way to temporarily store alot of them? and what should i do with the ones that have extensive and fragile parts? (convertibles, antennas and racecars like my R8) thanks

Could get an immobiliser and a CAT1 alarm

Whenever I pack mine up or transport them, I wrap each one in a fullsize bath towel and then stack them in one of those big plastic containers.

when i moved the lazy packers (i would have packed them myself but my flight...) just piled them on eachotehr in a box
no wrapping
some were even in seperate boxes with other stuff like metal lamps, videos....
its a miracle only the maserati and ferrari got scratches....

Oh, so you live in Staten Island, eh? That changes everything. Living in the least dense bourough of NY means you're most likely to have a basement there.

SO not only plenty, but all pretty, soft ones and meticulously folded and kept warm in the airing cupboard. ( jsut to play a stereotype )

quick fact: SI's population is greater than that of the whole state of Montana (or one of those states in the middle of the US that no one cares to much about )

[Rockefella]

I think my area of New Jersey is more dense though.

Bubble wrap.
Then think of all the fun you can have when you unwrap them

Some of that is true. They are very soft (expensive, but I got them on sale ). They're nothing special to look at, tho. Just plain white. They are folded a certain way and put away, however not in a warming cabinet (but, seriously, how cool would that be?).
