Today, my buddy Loc brought me the final addition to my CARS toy collection from McDonalds. It's the green version of Ramone the Chevy low-rider character in the movie. McDonald's had 3 versions of this car produced because Ramone did repaint himself during the movie, purple, yellow and green. I missed finding the 3rd car before the Golden Arches switched their Happy Meal toy for the movie of the week- Pirates of the Caribbean. I asked 2 places and all the CARS toys had been used up or turned in.
But Loc saved the day! He has a friend who is a McDee's manager and his little boy was playing with the green car while Loc was visiting. And since the youngster had more than one of the toys, Loc was able to beg one for me. What a bud! Stealing toys from a kid so that my collection could be complete, that's a friend!
I don't know what I'm going to do with all these toys but my story is they are for Grandson Astin, when he's old enough. Until then, they are on display in my family room.
