Back in Sept, I posted a question based on an item I was "watching on Ebay"... http://www.oldgas.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=75035&Number=462328#Post462328I had just "gotten the itch" to acquire Whiz Auto Product items... And was hit with "some sticker shock"... I started out with a few items and of course wanted more... I WAS WARNED.... I ADMIT THAT... And yet I jumped in with both feet.... Sept 2013 Whiz items:  Today:    I have been able to ensure that my gas pump is still a single entity... But, have failed to control the growth of my other items... This thread is a warning to those of you that are thinking that it might be time... To start in a "New Direction"..... Fight the urge, Fight it with all of your being!!!! Find a local chapter of "PA" (Petro Anonymous), if you can. If there is no local Chapter... Make a phone call, to try and fight the urge... But, BE WARNED... If you call another "Addict"?..... They will do their best to "drag you back into the darkness".... The "Highs" will be many! The Lows will be painful! And your Wallet..... Will be hurting!!!!.... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya that's a pretty "clean" display. In the BR no less! I don't think Bev would let me pull that off in ours!

Well Bob I understand the problem your are going thru with the addiction. Most of us have all had it.
I have started a local P. A. chapter in my area just to help others in need . I've sent out numerus emails, made flyers,and phone calls . I purhased Two forty foot containers. The only way to release from the addition is cold turkey , so I have givin directions and my phone number to all and explained for them to load all their petroleum collectables up and drop off at the storage containers and I will help to cure them of their addition. Its been three weeks now and I haven't Heard from no-one. It's a tough thing to stop. I'm just going to have to get nasty and start calling the WIFE'S, The GIRL FRIENDS and even The MOM'S if i have to.I will PM you and give you directions to the containers.LOL
Nice Collection

My Whiz Auto Products display, has grown a little in the last month or so... It is raining here, so I thought I would bore you all with a few images... LOL The Whiz display:  And the 1/2 bath... Is pretty much done... Except for paint and a magazine rack... (I crammed about all I can, into it... I even have 7 issues of the "Flying A News" from the 50s... For reading material, along with 8 years of so of PCM's... LOL)
