Just a few old photos I had in my Photobucket that I thought were amusing, maybe just to me though. :D

Looks like the pickers spotted something in this old barn.......

Imagine the surprise on the owners face when he got home and found his Cobra had been swapped with a 4Runner!

Thanks everyone, glad you all enjoyed this picture story idea!

Mike those would all be good finds that you show, except I don't know about that Hot Wheels, these pickers only liked hunting MBX cars. :D

I keep laughing every time I think of this, that wasn't my intention when I did this, but I see that's how it can also appear. My thoughts were that the 4runner was the owners, and now he has a place to park it, but yours is a funny view on it.

I can imagine the owners wife telling him, "you hardly ever used it, and I thought we needed a more practical vehicle". so she made the trade. :D

I use to do some stories using Mbx cars, but it's difficult to do now with my Mbx cars all boxed up, although I can see what I saved of the stories I did in the past years and try to post a couple here.

Thanks again,

I did these pics for a similar story line on another board a while ago, and figured they would fit into yours. It seems we both shop at Target $1.00 section ! :thumbup: :thumbup:
