Would anyone like to help?

[viper GTS-R]

Hi guys,
Next Sunday Myself and my friend Bob with his Prowler will be going to a local car show held by Wayne's Speedshop in South Amboy from 9AM to 12PM. It's their 3rd annual Toys For Tots show, from what I've been told it's pretty good! They collect unwrapped toys to give to kids that aren't fortunate enough to be able to receive them and I think that with all the trouble we've had here in Jersey, especially down south, things are going to be a little more difficult than years before due to the hurricane. I'll also be there to cover everything.

Now I have some things I'm going to be taking to give myself. I figured I would throw it out there to see if anyone else wants too. Let me know.

I'm going to try to make this. Hopefully we get good weather and clean roads - for some reason my town decided to salt the hell out of the roads today in anticipation of snow, so I'm hoping for rain to wash it away.

Thank you again so much guys! I can't wait for the show on Sunday, It's supposed to be 54 degrees but cloudy. Better than in the 30's!

Well that's it! The door is closed!

I am pleased to announce that, with help of the Ohio Viper Club, VCA forum members Vipernut, AJ02 and Timninside we have raised a total of $270 for Wayne's Speedshop Toys for Tots Hot Rod gathering! Tomorrow morning I will be stopping over at the local Toys R' Us to pick up the toys for Sunday's show. Thank you all so much for helping out! I was kinda on the fence about posting and if anyone was going to reply. Again thanks to Maureen, Arthur, Tim, Randall and the Ohio VCA for stepping up to the plate. Intense, I hope you can make it! I actually don't live to far from the place so if you want to stop by and go down together PM me. I have my cameras on charge now and the VOI12 pad ready for a written list of all the toys! I hope the Magnum has enough room!

We're good. Will make your extra trip worthwhile. Check your email. ** ** ** Santa is coming early!

WELL! NOW! We are done! Thank you all that helped out! The GRAND total is $511! Four gigantic double bagged bags worth of toys! Tom and his wife donated an extra $100, My family put in an extra $50 and the manager at the Toys R' Us threw in a 15% off $150 coupon so we could buy more toys for less! I couldn't believe how much we saved in the two trips we made. (TRU had ALOT of sales, mostly buy one, get one half or free sales good stuff. It was roughly between $80-90 that we saved thanks to my girlfriend) We got everything there was to choose from. Wrestling toys, superheroes, dolls, Hot Wheels, a board game or two and plushes.

Mainly I kept three guidelines. Nothing more expensive than $15 per toy I wanted it to have value, the toy shouldn't be crazy small as I didn't want choking hazards (you never know), and the toy had to be worth the child's time. I felt that superhero masks where alot cooler than just a $12 6-inch figure. Who wouldn't want to play a hero? Same thing with the wrestling belts, who wouldn't want to be the champ? Those were some of the things I had in mind. I also found some really cool $5 model car kits. They are paper (cardboard) type that snap together like legos and you build it on a chassis with a pull-back motor I believe, but over all very cool and simple you know? I grabbed 4 different kits as they provided that same challenge a lego set would but it doesn't require any tools. I did get two deluxe Home Depot wooden model plane kits I thought were $7 a piece, turned out to be $30 each! But whatever I think those will make good family projects.

So there you have it. I'm tired. Gotta get up at 7 AM and be out of here by 8 to deliver the toys. I'm gonna throw on the reindeer antlers just because santa needs a cool sleigh.
