Been dealing with a lot of family stuff lately. Lots of illness and lost three people, two under 50 years old, in the last few months. 

 

Anyway, my one-year old grandson slept over last night.

 

This morning I was taking my eBay pictures and he swiped this Dynamic chassis out of the box.

 

He loves wheels.

 

He also said he loves the versatility of these Dynamic chassis (well, not really )

 

Brought a smile to my face.

A great, great shot, Joe - thanks for sharing. 

 

There is something about wheels that appeals to most kids.

Not just the little ones. There are a lot of big ones out here, too!

Hi Joe,

 

I'd like to offer my condolences for your loss.

 

Your grandson's smile, I'm sure, brought smiles to everyone looking at his picture, I know it brought a smile to me!

 

Thank you for "spreading a little joy" with us!''

 

I appreciate it.

 

Is he going to build his own slot car soon?!  LOL

 

It looks like he's ready.

 

Ernie

Joe, paint up a hardbody and mount it to this chassis. Tell him it's his car. Some day you may take him to a slot car track. My own grandsons are now 14 and 16. Unfortunately, slot car raceways in AZ are nearly as non-existent there as they are locally here.
