this is serious.
i went to work today, an unusually hot day, and decided to put my little scale model in the back window for people to see. regardless if anyone did or not, i went to my car to grab some food, and the car freaking MELTED. the entire roof caved in... my grey one was in the center console, and the paint is all bubbly. the grey one is on sale on ebay for $12, so i'm not too worried. but i bought the white one from letitsnow, and it was not cheap, and i highly doubt i'll find another one if anybody has one they're willing to sell me, please pm me.
could i possibly stick this thing in the oven upside down and melt it back into place? at least you guys at reading saw it.

Zagato "Dubble-Bubble" SVX FTW!
My Subaru World Rally Team hat is faded for the same reason. I wish I'd saved it seeing as it's now an antique.

Re: this is serious.
take it apart and take a blow dryer or heat gun and warm it up and see if you can kinda buff it

Re: this is serious.
I think the phrase "it is toast" literally applies here.

Re: this is serious.

Re: this is serious.
it was in a parking lot while i was at work, it got around 80 out, plus the car was in the plastic case it came in.. let's just say i literally could not touch it without burning my hand for about 5 minutes.
and yes. it is a piece of $40 twenty year old toast.
