CB's is the best Wheels site on the 'net, bar none!

"Toy Cars & Vehicles" and "Toy Shop" magazines

WOW!!!!  Is this cool or what?????  Thanks to the hard work of the staff and our visitors who send us information about their finds we have received the highest (in my humble opinion) accolade available . A fellow collector, who has one of the best jobs imaginable (imagine your hobby being connected with your job) thinks this is the best site on the net.  Yee Haw!!!!  All of you who have contributed to this site pat yourselves on the back.  "Ya done good, Maynard!"

I just read Big Arv most recent article and it does put things in perspective.  I am a very lucky person.  I can buy Hot Wheels on a regular basis (and a couple of Beanie Babies every now and then) and not have to worry about the few dollars I spend.  I know I spend each month what would be considered a wonderful income for the average Korean family.
.
I have my husband, whom I love very much, a daughter (who at times can still be as much a pain  as she was when she lived at home) whom I love and am happy she is healthy - and her and husband Steve are going to make me a Grandma for the third time this coming July.  ;-)  I have Piggy (N) and Chickie (C) who I love so very much and with whom I enjoy spending as much time as possible.
.
I have friends all over the world who make me smile, laugh and occasionally cry with their emails.  I love you all dearly and hope to meet you some day.
.
I have a dream that will shortly become a reality....the Museum.  I have looked forward to this for so long and I hope lots of you will be there when we open to share in the dream coming true.
.
We have plenty of food in the house, the bills are paid, the house is warm, we have plenty of clothes, etc.  We have everything we need and a lot of what we want.  We could wish for  a little better heath, but all in all we are lucky.   So, does it really matter that I don't have a 2000 FE Lincoln, or a Baby Boomer, a 56 Panel, or a blue Corsair?  No.  Truth is it wouldn't matter if I never got them.  I have the most important things in life...family and friends I love and care about.  I am blessed.  I hope you feel the same way.  Happy Holidays to each and every one of  you.  Trish
PS  And we have "the best Wheels site on the 'net, bar one!" --Jon Brecka, Hot Wheels columnist for "Toy Cars & Vehicles" and "Toy Shop" magazines  Check the magazines out at http://www.krause.com
This is just icing on the cake.
