It’s okay @Wave @DNA. It was almost 13 years ago at this point. It still sucks, but I’m moving forward now.

I was a tomboy. My brother and I both got basketballs only mine was yellow. I thought that was cool. (Girls basketball was almost unheard of where and when I was a kid).

When I was married to my abusive husband, he used to ignore my birthday. One of those birthdays, my mom sent me a bouquet of white tulips. Just simple, elegant white tulips. To this day it makes me cry. So beautiful.

Slot cars are so fun. If I had the room I’d still be playing with those things. Maybe I could get a wall one

We were still playing with them in high school. When my friends older brother moved out we used half of his old bedroom to set up a track. It was funny because my friend made friends with some of the popular tough stoners and they would come over and we would all be playing with this race set. Kind of incongruous.

I used to have a decent setup in our old basement. Dad and I got a huge sheet of plywood and rested in over the foosball table. Instant slot car track. I can’t remember how many cars I burned out. I played like the thing was going out of style. I think there is gonna be a resurgence soon for the slot cars. Well, a Skunk can dream. Vinyls are coming back. Slot cars can too.

Cool, we did the same thing you did with the plywood. We had all kinds of those little cars. When they broke we would canabilize them and take parts off several cars to make one good car. Yeah, those were the days; I feel like buying a set right now. Sure, if they resurge I’ll get out my old bell bottom jeans, put a record on the turntable and race until I wear down my hand to a stub.

I had at least 50 of those matchbox cars. They weren’t all in the best condition but they were pretty cool.
In seventh grade I wasn’t playing with them anymore so my mom thought it would be nice to give them away to the little neighbor kid. Being a good son I complyed. Being a semi rotten adult I now wish I had kept them, some of them were probably worth a lot more than I paid for them now.
