They are more than that to me, They remind me of Friends new and old, of Fun past and to come, of Events remembered and to come, of Dreams and memorys of 1 to1 Cars. They are a great hobby!!

They are only toy cars, yet they drive adult men to fistfight over the chase cars. This is supposed to be a hobby, not an obcession.

Looks like a goll-dern massacre! All that's missing is the blood!

I would say for the nicer ones - They're only model cars.

Thanks for the tip Gerald...its about 10 years, and 15k cars too late!

My motto "Take it as it comes" so I carry on.

It was Gramda who did it, not the 50 Foot Woman.

Similar to the song "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer".

This is "Grandma Just Ran Over All The Reindeer".

could be she was watching that movie a couple of weeks ago

on the plus side we have a 5 year old visitor who only collects johnny lightning now, because the hoods open on some .
and only convertibles , because he can put little people in them . and when he is finished playing the town is still in reasonable shape .
