      My little guy still loves playing with Hot Wheels (this is an old photo), and my 13yo recently got into a NFS game with a buddy of his, so his car love and knowledge is growing again (had stalled out for a bit). My daughter still loves to go fast, and will play racing games with me sometimes, and points out cool cars on the street for me. I do need to get a wrench in their hands (and mine) more often - I'm looking forward to increasing my mechanical knowledge with them as they get closer to driving age (my oldest is already getting a feel for the clutch, driving my truck in the hay field).

      I still get a few car mags - haven't quite gotten them to show much interest in those yet. #OldMan

                        @davesaddiction Is that a Hotwheels bed? I hear grandchildren like Matchbox cars as well. I'll be testing that theory.

                          That makes me happy to see, I was (and still am) a huge fan of the Highway 35/Acceleracers series. I've been wanting to do a little write up for oppo on that...

                              @rusty-vandura Yes it is! With built in track, working headlights, and car storage in the rear wing. A friend's kid is now loving it just as much as our little guy did.

                                    @davesaddiction That's fun stuff. I've got toys I've been hoarding for 20 years and longer and now that I have a grandchild, I understand why I've been hording them. I can't wait to play with them with them.

                                        @davesaddiction It always fascinates me how orderly young children can be. Then they turn into teenaged slobs.
