My dad bought these cars for Kate, probably 8-10 years ago. I remember him saying "You can't just have one car. You always have to have two" as we went out to a local Radio Shack and picked them out. He insisted that we needed one that went fast and one to offroad with. At the time, I was shocked at their $50 price tag and surprised that my dad was spending $100 on toy cars.
I am now so grateful that I kept them and that my little kids can play with them. Today I told them about how Grandpa John bought these for them to play with. I hope that they can feel or at least have one more story of who my dad was, through these cars.
He would have been tickled to see them playing with them and probably would have ran out to buy a third for Augie. He would have loved playing cars with them because he was that kind of grandparent.
