Barry,

I have no experience with the metal car.  I wouldn't spend $250 for a new car until the old one has proven itself to be unsatisfactory in some way.

It's good to hear that Charles is still in the parts business though...

In your experience are they serviceable or should we invest in the new composite one. Charles has them for $250 or so. Pretty pricey, but if they work I guess it would be worth it.
