426 Elephant, President of the car club is turning 10 in April! He is “only” asking for a Mirada and Real Riders Rampage for his birthday. Does anybody have one or both for Sale? Thought I would ask before I hit the Evil-bay and other online sale sights. They don’t need to be NIP. Though “Mint-e-er” the better.…

Elephants 426's, Hemi powered John Deere utility tractor didn’t place at the Gateway Toy Show in STL. But the judges did present him with several new and expensive 1/64 tractors for his hard work. That was better than first place in his mind. My son continues to be a benefactor of lots o’diecast love. Thanks!

Here is the progress that 426 Elephant has made on his 1/16 scale mopar/jd muscle tractor, trailer and mower He is still waiting on some gauge and headlight decals. This is his entry for the Gateway toy show custom tractor contest in a few weeks.

On behalf of Elephant426, a very belated thank you! He wanted some classic black walls and he got them... Plus a classic Yat Ming Dodge (Aspen?). Thank you and sorry for the “late-ness”. Elephant426 will do a review in the next few weeks on these. Did I already say thanks, thanks.

my son would like permission to be an author of LALD. (Jumping off my couch, throwing the phone down, and raising my right hand)... “He will be supervised at all times when writing and taking pictures... And he will only use my phone, which I found is the most kid-friendly way to navigate Kinja. If this is not allowed…

My parents blindly bought this last Month at DG when they picked up a bunch of BOGO cars for my son’s charity car drive. J was going through his charity cars and just found it. We kind of hoped this would happen and it DID. J is going to sell it on here. The proceeds will go towards more cars to donate. Stay tuned!…

This is “J” president of th car club. The Hot Wheels “Drag strip demons” never failed to impress me...almost. In 1969 Mattel made the Snake and Mongoose franchise. In 1977, HW introduced the Plymouth Aero funny car. When I got the 1971 Dodge Challenger Ramchargers I was expecting the normal Drag strip demons chassis,…

My son is 9, highly gifted, does extremely well in school but is cursed with very high anxiety. This place helps him relax a little when he comes home from school and gives me and him some common ground to talk about and discuss.... Especially this time of year when I’m gone quite a bit from home with basketball…

Welcome to my second review. I am President of the car club. Speaking of that, the car club is not meeting due to my Dad having 1,000,000,000 basket-ball games. Anyway, l am writing a review on a First Gear 1946 Dodge Power Wagon tow truck. I like Dodge and 4x4s so I like Power Wagons. Since I watched the movie Cars…

This is a review by my nine year old son, I’m literally handing the phone to him, Enjoy..

My son has saved his money, made space on his MOPAR wall, and has drafted my immediate and not so immediate family to search for these...Alas, we have come up short in our search..The scalper and/or Ebay market for these two sets is beyond ridiculous and on the verge of being underhanded. So does anyone have an extra…

My son and his 4th-grade car club are raising cars and money (to buy more cars) for our local children’s hospital. The cars need to be new in package and the club will pay for your shipping. If you want to contribute financially let me know and I can send you my PayPal e-mail. Again, those funds will be used to buy…

First: Thank you Pywackett-Barchetta for your donation to my sons car club! If you would like to donate some cars like Pywackett, let me know and the club will pay for shipping, maybe even pay for a couple of cars too for your trouble .See this link for more info:

My son wants to have a weathered/rust look to some of his tractors for a toy show in Feb. The hobby shops were a little overwhelming with their different types of paint that do that. How do you guys do it? Looking for a more affordable way that is 9 year old friendly. (I’m supposed to keep my mitts off of this…
