My Wallymart never has the good stuff. Besides it's raining so ebay steps in for the $7.99 win with shipping.

Usually, I go to eBay for those items one would have to run all over town and waste $20 in fuel to find. And if you're patient, you can find a seller with more than one Ford item and with free shipping 8)

There's no hunt here. I'd have to drive to upstate SC or E. Tennessee to find one of these.

I'm surprised to see Mattel finally putting my GT40 tooling to good use. Matchbox was told to stop making race cars, hot rods, and customs, so that Hot Wheels did not have to compete with them. When you look in the toy isle all you see are Trucks in the Matchbox blisters. Someone must have slipped this one through.  8)

I get to charge my Chevy Volt at work for free. Our Wallymart also has a few free charging stations so I plug in while shopping. I haven't put any gas in it since Thanksgiving. The only advantage I've found to living in Commiefornia.
