Oh good grief I was planning on teaching my kids how to share..........

I guess I can probably get something that's in a box. Does the box have to be for the toy that's in it?

That is the general idea. Hot wheels are only a dollar. You can get a few of those without breaking the bank. I for one try to stick with the quantity over quality idea. When we shop for the toys with the cash donations we typically stick with toys that are around $5 to maximize our reach. The idea is to help as many kids as we can. Some of these kids will only get the toy we donate. Bottom line is any sacrifice you make to help out is well worth the effort. You can't put a dollar amount on giving the gift of joy through a toy to a innocent child. You can blame the parents of these children all you want for their poor decisions that have placed these children in the position they are in, but we must not lose sight of the fact that the children are the victim of this and have no recourse. For the price of a value meal at mcdonalds you can bring a smile to a child at Christmas. I think I can do without a heart attack in a sack if it helps a few kids have a gift at Christmas.

by 07Shelby500 11/18/2010, 12:34 am

Yes. We do the toy drive every year. Maybe your wife would give ya a kitchen pass just this one time and a dose of dayquil and send you up to participate? Lol

by Shelby10' 11/18/2010, 12:35 am

The Toy drive is an annual thing and yes the cruise is a part of it.

dang it man!

by ARMORINE 11/18/2010, 12:44 am

little tessa's going to come down stairs Christmas's morning to find nothing under the tree because vandy couldnt leave his mother-to-be wife alone for a single day to help the children who have not a stang yet.... what a sad sad world this has become.. can not a young boy or girl be given the gift of hope? can they not be allowed to dream of a better future? a future full of mustangs and gasoline? can we not come together for a single day to rule the road and bring joy to the children? i say yay! we can do it, with vandy's help we can bring hope to the future of humanity! but only if vandy helps other wise it will be a futile mission... dont let little tessa cry, give her the gift of hope!

by Shelby10' 11/18/2010, 12:45 am

i want a ride in your GT500, surprisingly ive only ever been in a gt500 once...when i drove one across the auction block in early 2007.... good times

EDIT:....i just realized that GT500 i drove at the auction was the FIRST manual mustang i ever drove!

agreed, I'm just given you guys a hard time. We do a TFT chili cook thing here at my work every year, and my church does stuff to. i totally agree with what you said.

I think if Jarrod hadn't been so selfish and bought that super expensive car he could have helped little Tessa out tremendously,but now there are going to be many many sad little children on Christmas morning because of his over excessive ego indulgent selfishism..........................

baby

Man, we need to make sure we don't have a bunch of weenies wuss out on us on this cruise. This could turn out to be the biggest get together since Paul got arrested in Chandler....

by STLHRSE 11/18/2010, 10:41 am

so what's is the general type of toy you guys usually buy? A bunch of hotwheels or one or two medium size toys or what?

by 07Shelby500 11/18/2010, 11:24 am

Really just anything we can find that falls into the $5-$7 range.

by Shelby10' 11/18/2010, 4:36 pm

Teddy bears, basketballs, footballs, hot wheels, army men, pricess dolls, my little pony accesories, mini monster trucks, etc etc. $3-$7 is where I like to stay.

by STLHRSE 11/18/2010, 4:47 pm

what about a pillow pet?

It's a pillow!
