There's nothing I like giving more at Christmas than little cars. It just makes me happy. Sadly, my mother and Aunt Dianne don't appreciate them so much ... but folks at work, different story.
This year, I gave Mike Magrath a Hot Wheels Nissan GT-R. Thus far, he's already made an appointment to have it serviced at Santa Monica Nissan. And apparently, opening package voids warranty.
Merry Christmas!

That picture was taken while Magrath was on the phone with Sadlier: "Dude, avoid Riswick today. He just gave me a Hot Wheels GTR, but he insisted on a hug to go with it. He really drew it out...Yeah, man. Lots of back rubbing. I know, and he always smells like maple syrup..."

Sweet, I already got a GT-R and a Corvette for my son's stocking so we can see which is faster around the 'ring. Also got a '67 GTO and a F430.

Hot Wheels totally needs to make a toy Nissan service center to go with this!

Ha ha ha ha! I know I'm getting one from 'Santa' too this Christmas. But happily, I don't care about opening the package. Good shot there Riswick, I like that one.
