i've received some questions regarding a certain family toy, and i thought the answers would be worth posting here...
what is it?
it is a junior sand dragster- a race car run by an 8 horsepower lawnmower engine. it's designed for children ages 3 and up to race in the sand. and yes, that is my sixty-something year old mother taking it for a joyride.
how did you get it?
this is my favorite part. jim (the love of brian's life) purchased the car for his grandson bradley. jim races a much bigger/faster/louder top alcohol sand dragster and he likes for his hobby to be a family affair. after purchasing the car for bradley, he decides he wants a different one, buys it, and puts this one up for sale.a few months later brian and jim were at a race when another driver expressed interest in buying the car. pointing to brian, jim replied "sorry man, i already gave it to him." i'm still shocked that brian didn't wet his pants on the spot. it was so jim- to give such a huge gift, all of a sudden, and then carry on like nothing had happened. brian's not the only one that loves him.
who enjoys it the most?
brian, but i havn't heard anyone else complaining.
who will drive it?
brian and i have asked one another the same question. this type of racing takes concentration, determination, and a bit of competitive spirit. our oldest bug is more of a moseyer. mia strolls through life swinging an umbrella, singing a tune, and smelling the flowers. miley on the other hand seems to be perfect for the role of race car driver and she'd look adorable in a pink fire suit. and whenever levi goes missing, the seat of the dragster is the first place i check.(these answers are exposing the whitetrash. it's true- i have a dragster, know too much about cars, and love lynyrd skynyrd. so.)

Ok- I totally want a ride!!! You will have to ask Tiff if she remembers the time we crashed at the go cart track with Aunt Brenda-don't tell Brian, he won't let me touch the dragster!!!!! :)
I thought we would get kicked off the track, but we did'nt. Talk about some wild driving, Tiff and Karen tore up the track,I loved it. Aunt Brenda
THATS THE COOLEST THING EVER! I wanna come over and play!
Hey it was great to read aunt Brenda's comment, where was I? i don't remember being at the go cart track with tif and karen. Oh, well, short term memory loss has set again, however, I do remember driving the sand rail and it was a blast. Toured the neighborhood twice and found out I could not back up. I love it. Mom and grandma glo
