She's a clean machine


My most Punjabi in-laws gave their grandson the most American gift: a vintage Hot Wheels Sizzler track that had lain dormant in their garage for close to four decades. It is complete with original packaging and juicebox for refueling the cars.
The working parts don't work anymore, but K has got the niftiest track on the block. Fortunately, Mattel started manufacturing the cars again in the mid '90's so we'll have to get those Gremlins, Corvettes and other boss cars revved up for some serious laps. (K wants to do loops like it shows on the box, but I'm not optimistic that my civil engineering skills are adequate.)
