CARS & photos and photos and CARS … CALLING ALL CARS,  CALLING ALL CARS – I have broken though the outer shell imprisoning me. I am free. Do you roger? You sound muffled – are you still encased in the oval shell? I’ve crash landed on a strange planet. The impact must have awoken me […]

There’s a new quasi-CARS Cube that doesn’t really sound necessary … John from MO reports in … “On one side there is nothing but the new Tractor Tipping game.  Going clockwise, the next side is half Night Vision McQueen (probably 4 dozen of them) and the other half a Hot Wheels playset.  The next side […]
