Stopped at Toys R Us today; no luck (they had a lot of Matchbox cars!). That's Wal-Mart, Target and Toys; sheeeesh.

I just picked up another orange single and a 10-pack with the yellow 914. My Walmart had 2 more 10-packs, I could pick them up for you and ship but I bet you will see them soon enough. Just keep looking every few days or so. I look every time I go to one of those stores. There's also a nice 911 GT2 made by Hotwheels out right now.

I went to the mountains today. Car did great. It did better than I thought when it comes to power. It had more power than the current suspension could handle. I can't wait to see how it does with a good suspension.

Ahh, I'll let you in on Colorado's best kept secret:

It only snows in the mountains.

We get some snow in Denver but it usually melts in a day or so and is back in the 50's with sunshine! I had the top off the 914 3 times already this year. We do get some cold spells but generally winter in Denver is pretty mild. You want to ski in April? Head up the mountain - still snowing.

That is wild, I think of Dever being a city that gets crushed with snow. I hope to get out there someday and ski there.

It's just too much fun! Been driving it to work the last few days. Probably drive it a lot more now that it is spring.

Fuel. Need more fuel...

Looks great! I have always found the better the gas you run in these things the better they run. My car loves 93 from Shell. I don't know why, but I get the best performance with it.

We only get 91 in Denver. There's a few stations that sell higher octane but they are few and far between.
