I’m pretty much a pack rat. I save old parts that look interesting regardless of whether I’ll ever use or need them. I also have collections like you wouldn’t believe. Boxes of matchbooks from around the world, worthless baseball cards, every t-shirt I’ve ever owned, old magazines, anything rusty or cast iron, stickers, coca-cola stuff, beverage containers, hats, knives, etc. My favorite collection, however, is the multitude of Jeep and 4x4 toys that I’ve amassed over the years. Many were even mine as a child so those have somewhat a sentimental value but the bulk of the collection just seemed to call my name on ebay or at garage and estate sales whenever I’d come across them. I can hardly pass one by when I see it, and this is evident in the many broken and worthless Jeeps I’ve picked up for a buck or two or nothing just so it would be mine. Anyhow, as a result, I have more Jeep and 4x4 toys than most children. Most toy stores, maybe. Take a look and tell me if I’m crazy.
The Stomper 4x4s are the coolest. I’ve actually had these since I was a kid and they still work-running on AA batteries. Besides, a Jeep Honcho pickup and a Subaru Brat pickup? Come on, how sweet is that? I also dig the Jeep Wagoneer and the Tonka Stump Jumper Jeep Commando with the Tweety Bird on the hood.
