[/quote....I called Joel recently, within the past few weeks, and he no longer verifies his cars nor does he sell the parts.

Not sure what is up with that? Maybe the model airplane industry picked up?

Interesting. Joel and I communicate on a regular basis about the hobby and I have not seen any indication he is through certifying Motion cars. In fact, within the last week or so, he and I have discussed a couple of "so called" Motion cars.
As per parts, I know when he was to be involved in the 2002 Motion Camaro project, he had a very limited supply of emblems and some of the other Motion items. At SCR6 he did have us give each participant a pair of original Motion stickers.
