A few weeks ago, Jason P., a great customizing artist offered up a great prize package of Mattel Disney Pixar diecast CARS … And if this HUGE package wasn’t enough? He threw in a CUSTOM of the WINNER’S ENTRY!!!! The winning entry from “Schlitz” not only won all the CARS you see above BUT his […]

One more update, the Blu Ray CARS DVD + 2 Bonus CARS is only about a month away and a couple things of note … It looks like you get the DVD, the Blu Ray DVD + 2 CARS all in nice mini suitcase (the airlines will still charge you $50). But it also looks […]
