This may be the influence of “Toy Story” talking but I was imagining what it would be like to be a Hot Wheels car hanging from the Christmas Tree. You’re safe and secure in your blister pack watching the build up of holiday festivities but deep down you can’t wait for Christmas Day to come.
On that day you envision running through a world of Hot Wheels tracks; going for all your worth.
Here’s my Christmas video of 2 Faster Than Ever cars…
a gold Fast Fish
and a silver Chrysler Firepower Concept
…waiting for Christmas to come.
So there you have it. Hot Wheels and Christmas. A time of anticipation and fun; especially if you’re a Hot Wheels car with big dreams.
It’s still fast. Still fun.
