A Garage Sale Find

Each summer, here in my little suburb there are three HUGE garage sales averaging 1000 homes.  This smart realtor has divided the community into sections and does all the advertising, maps, contests, etc and it's the only time I go out to sift through people's junk hit the garage sales.  It's usually quite busy and well attended and with the state of the economy this last one was big!
I found my usual treasures, chapter books for the kids for .25-.50 cents and a few random finds too.  A wide framed mirror for Aubrey's room that I painted white, some Hawaiin prints for above her closet, etc.  But before last Saturday, my best find was my Bosch a few years ago, I love that machine!  However, my KID'S best find came this last weekend when I found this. 
That smile of Matthew's is SO big, it almost looks like it hurts!!!
 
 Matthew is especially loving it because, as you can see, he can't quite reach the gas pedal and yet, he gets a turn with each of the other four kids.  He definitely gets the most "on" time.  And living in a court makes this a perfect way to cruise around, get the mail, see the neighbors, etc.  It's not by any means fast, but expect to see us around.
