To be completely honest I was disappointed he didn't call Dad out by name when I first saw the packaging. I'm not sure why they didn't, but still kinda cool (I think). K |

This is a little random but too good to pass up.
We got these little 1/64 scale Ertl '65 GTOs, which are kind of generic, but for some reason have an obvious gray tool box in the trunk. The connection is that we would flat tow the GTO with the towbar and with Dad's gray Craftsman tool box in the trunk of the car, for ballast (it drops the tail of the towed vehicle, improving the caster, thereby making it tow better). When we got to the track we would weigh in for our class with the towbar and these huge logging safety chains still installed, full of fuel, the toolbox in the trunk and me (all 45 lbs or so) standing on the scale. Then when we got back to the pits all that extra weight would come flying out of the car for eliminations. This little Ertl GTO has always reminded me of that. K |
JL just did one of my '72 GTO from MCACN last year.Way Cool!

The Hot Wheels Legends Tour was a pretty cool show to be invited to. There were a lot of crazy vehicles there as they use the shows to select what model Hot Wheels to make next, and select one from each show that goes to the final show where the selection is made.
I had lost a valve just before this show, so while I drove into the show, I had to keep turning it off and starting it up in the line because I kept smoking out the poor people in the VW bus behind us in line who were super nice. |

I remember Hot Wheels at the auto show, maybe this was it, I can’t remember. They did make a hot wheels version of the new camaro.
A bud back in Chevy gave me a set of badges off a car, I still have them. |
