1lo620 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 I just saw that the Toy For Tots Toy run at Pacific Raceway is this sunday Dec. 8.. 12 to 4 gates open at 10.. Looks like weather might be nice but cold.. Is there any crazy Ratsun folk planning on going to this. If so, be nice to get a meeting place and cruise in together.. Just a thought..

graveltrapp Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 We went last year with almost freezing temps plus the monsoon. Definitely will need heat and the electric blanket plugged into the inverter. I think we had about twenty Datsun's last year as well as a really cool diverse collection of other breeds as well. We all met at the Super mall and rolled in from there. 1 Quote Link to comment

Guest Rick-rat Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 It turned into a cluster fuck when we left the mall, I will donate toys at an easier location Quote Link to comment

jalen Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 That was a long wait on the side of the highway lol. I hate cold weather, my car hates cold weather, my carbs hate cold weather. So me nor my dime will be attending. Quote Link to comment
Guest Rick-rat Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 I will not be going to this.I finally did get to donate today and it was extremely hard to find a place to donate what I had to give. Everywhere I tried told me can't take them without the box they came in. These were 1/16 die cast metal with lots of detail, doors, hoods,trunks opened and steering wheel turned when the front tires did. 1 Ferarri, 2 vipers, one hardtop and one convertible, 1 67 Chevelle SS, 1 56 Ford starliner,1 Cobra, 1 Jeff Gordon #24 Pepsi race car. 1 Gold Woods Bros. # 21 Race car. Most of the places did want them because they weren't brand new. I was getting quite discouraged but being persistent and checking everywhere I could think of I found a place that was excited to get them and know some needy families. For those families it will probably the only present they can give to their son(s). I didn't leave out the girls, for them I donated 48 1st edition Beanie Baby bears in acryllic cases. At one time we had over 2,000 Beanie Babies, and usually donated 200 a year to childrens hospitals. As most of you know at times I can be difficult to get along with, but it really made me feel good today knowing it will brighten a few childrens Christmas 3 Quote Link to comment

Guest Rick-rat Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I am happy to see your weather prediction for next years toy run, cold and below freezing Quote Link to comment
Nissan_Boy85 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 I might be out of line saying this, but what is the real reason for this cruise? THE KIDS. This isn't about "oh I'm cold and my car doesn't like the temperatures" or "my car is better then yours", this is about giving to someone who might not have the option to be warm when they want or have the newest, coolest toys. This is one of the largest meets (2000+) in the Oregon/Washington area that I know of that includes EVERYTHING, from 40 Fords to the newest and greatest supercars. Don't wanna go, fine. There's probably one closer to the one you live. Donate somewhere else, I don't care. Just don't be a damn prick when someone asks you to see the pictures you took, if you took any.

1lo620 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 want to discuss me being a prick face to face...anytime...!!! And I can really careless who goes or not, and this goes for any show or gathering.. Quote Link to comment
jalen Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 You being a "prick" is not doing anything for the show or the site. just annoying in immature. and i have been going to toy run for a few years. and each year seems like a bigger cluster fuck lol. due to a lack of staff. location, crowding on highways, lines...etc Pics were on facebook. https://www.facebook.com/kettlman/media_set?set=a.10200434719505471.1073741829.1680888536&type=3 Yes, i saved a lot of you from a giant CLUSTERFUCK. and cold weather haha. lambo this year, Ferrari last year. cool Quote Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Looks like an awesome chance to parade on the race course? And that is one low 620 That wasn't on the race track it was in the 3 mile backup on the off ramp to get into the show, I posted because someone said we all took off in separate directions from the superduper mall and seemed to be laying it in 1lo620.. Although if i had known he was going to go all Mel Gibson about the pictures maybe i should have went with a more "tough love" approach. .. :P Quote Link to comment
