2009_03_05_truck.jpg Excited about Al Sanchez's trial? Longing for the good old days when the city could afford to pay a bunch of HDO ward heelers overtime to actually plow the streets? Got some tax refund money burning a hole in your pocket? Now you can own a collectible piece of Chicago! Thanks to Australian-based Quarry Diecast Models DownUnder, you can order your very own diecast model Chicago Streets and Sanitation truck. And don't forget to get a set of HDO workers to staff your vehicles. No word yet on whether they plan to issue diecast broken kitchen chairs to "dib" your model parking spot.
