I am still in debt to you for the chrome engine cover emblem. I will make it up somehow, just give me some time.

Bummer -

I went to the road show and they had no give-a-ways or items for sale - just a curb side send off - but the corporate office was a having a big employee party with a catered BBQ lunch etc...

When I walked up - I was told "employees only" well that doesn't stop me - so I crashed the gig via the back entrance – I enjoyed a killer lunch (I look so corporate) - listened to the "Hot Wheels" band play car themed songs, lots of displays, raced miniature cars on the race track, enjoyed the tire change competition. They even had a Barbie confessional... (do you know what I made you do to Ken?..)

The employee Hot Wheel give-a-way was on a basketball court on their campus that was fenced off with a guard at the gate. The only way in to get a Collector Hot Wheel was by showing your employee badge. So I went around back and asked the ladies handing the cars out for one - saying I forgot my badge at my desk - "You got the memo - No ID badge - no collector car" “Email your Supervisor and maybe they can arrange..." They even had Otto Kuhni on hand signing autographs and cars...

Sorry man I worked it hard - but it was a pleasant three hour break from work... You'll have to get one on Ebay - employees weren't giving them up...
