My daughter and I went to a few stores yesterday — including Sears — but didn't find much to speak of.
Tonight when I was leaving work, I called Domino's for carryout and had some time to spare, so I thought I would try Sears again. Much to my surprise, they had Chase Radiator Springs Ramone!
This car is so beautiful, I even got spousal approval when I arrived home.

Wow, it's that beautiful, eh? I can't wait to find it! Has any other car in Cars history inspired spousal approval?

Heh. I'm stumped too. Cars should have fit into the wedding vows somehow….

Thanks, John, for noting your Sears find! I would have skipped it otherwise, and would have missed my sole opportunity, thus far, to own 1 Chase Radiator Springs Ramone.

Great!
Now, if you have a Kroger's near you, I found a "Cars 2" half cube at Gerbes with 4 Chase Radiator Springs Ramone, 2 Popes, and 2 Popemobiles!

Interesting. I have a Foods4Less near me, but they seem to only stock Hot Wheels. I am anxious to find another Ramone, as the one I did find has inferior paint quality (it took them 2 sets of decals to get the eyes right).

I was pretty disappointed in this Car when I looked at it closely.
This car is mostly tampos (like Carla), with a clear coat, the only paint is the silver paint trim.
I can see where the tampos are wrapped around the headlight on the side facing the blister.
With a magnifying glass the rear deck and roof shows coarse dots just as if you were looking at a newspaper close up.
Its a nice color wash scheme to resemble water colors, but not paint.

I found Chase Radiator Spring Ramone and Mel Dorado at Sears today. First new in-store score for me since HHLMQ waaaaaaay back in early November! Definitely the longest I have gone without a find since I have been in the game. Sad really…
