Erik Bilstad's boy was rewarded for being good at the doctor with first Hot Wheels car. Erik has no idea what he just did. He had a gleam in his eye as he talked about Noah looking at his new toy. Been there done that. Did it as a kid (the car up above was my all time favorite, the Blue Shark). Did it as a parent. They're less than a buck. A cheap reward right? That's what I thought unitl I cleaned out my son's closet the other day and realized he had 2-cases and 200 cars worth. You don't need to do the math to realize those rewards aren't exactly cheap anymore. I sure he hope he plays with them again some day, after his latest phase, "plastic crack"-- LEGOS, wears off. Good Luck Erik.
