Thanks for stopping by. Pull up a seat, take off your coat, and stay a while!
If it’s in the garage, or it should be, we’ll talk about it, play with it, review it, and make videos or take pictures of it.
Does it have wheels? Then we’ll probably love it.
Let your inner child come out and play. We are not that serious and we don’t expect you to be either. Keep it clean, but let’s have fun together!
