Bryan,
If you haven't seen it, you should get a hold of their press release
magazine put out in concert with R&T. If you order an information kit from
their web site, you'll get a copy of it. There's a lot of info and phots
including several really neat prototypes. I actually got a Hot Wheels
version of the PT Cruiser as well. I saw one at the Stockton Asparagus
Festival in the color you want. The guy actually entered it in the car
show.
I LIKE IT TOO!
