Got some new parts for the car over the week end for good and great deals.
Will get the pics of it all when I get home tonight

Polished s.s. coolant over flow tank for 35.00. Got it for the hatch back to get rid of the crappy oem plastic one. Kevin also picked the same one up.

My parents still have all of my tonka toys. I use to play with them for hours on end.

I thought about those Supertones when I was there on Saturday but decided against it, only bought some wheel polish and buffing compound the whole time I was there.

My grandma has a couple Tonka Dump trucks that are in mint condition. They were my uncle that passed away's. He used to work for Tonka and is the one that designed the stickers that go on the trucks. I love the old ones that were all metal. Plastic FTL.
