Here's the "Haulin' Gas" that Smitty received yesterday. I knew that he wouldn't be able to leave it alone for long!

Has anybody raced one of those Milk Dud gas trucks? I guess, first off the Real Riders make it a non real rider and needs a wheel swap. Looks like there's plenty of room for stuffing that turkey. Second of all they are expensive, but the local grocery store has that series for $3.49, in an after Christmas sale. I was thinking of grabbing the Dud and Frankenberry Van before they're all gone.
