My son can now correctly identify his Matchbox Ferrari 365 GTB/4 and greatly prefers it to his plastic Dodge Charger R/T. I think I may have to toss the Ferrari and find him a Hot Wheels Honda Accord before that Champagne taste develops too far.

Apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, eh, Ben?? ;) :D

As long as he can correctly identify the entire line of EBMM products and much prefers them over, *ahem*, other brands, everything will be OK.

LOL Good one, Tiffles! ;)


Beth, it unfortunately does not. Imagine my continued frustration with the fact that my '96 Chevy pickup simply refuses to let me down, thus preventing me from any practical reason for getting new, zooty wheels.

Oh, he likes the Bongo best, Tom. I can't wait to teach him to say "Dargie Delight!"

Ben,

Just as long as he ends up with a girl who can't tell the difference, he'll be OK. :D

No kidding, Steve! Thank God my wife is in love with our Honda Odyssey minivan. My horrible ex had a thing for cars that needed soft, expensive tires. She, like the tires, wore out quickly, too.

My 2.5-year-old can correctly identify a guitar/bass bridge, pickup, pickguard, string, fret, "ball" (fretboard dot), nut, and machine heads. She also knows that a strap is needed when standing up. Finally, she knows my honeyburst 'Ray is my newest bass.

Oh, and she can tell a guitar from a bass. :D

I've always had a thing for Ford Mustangs. Ever since I was a little one (toddler) I could tell the year/model of them. I dont like any of them now though, 2000+ models are not for me. My favorites are the 1991-1993 generation for some reason though. It was around these years that i fell in love with them so that was what I was seeing on the streets.

oh, just get him an old Porsche 944 (<$2000) that sits in the drive way for 8 years until he is old enough to reach the clutch, brake, and gas pedals...in the mean time you can enjoy the car:p

actually my first hot wheel car was a 1978 Ford Mustang in Dark Grey...then my dad decided to dangerous (racing a '72 Porsche 914-6) and got me a copy of Hans Stuckes BMW M1 racecar...German cars have been my forte ever since
