A while back I stumbled on this limited edition $350 hand-crafted wooden car from Auditorium Toy Company. Could it possibly survive and be an heirloom my baby boy might pass down? Sure it could. But I’d much rather drop $349 into his college fund and spend $1 on a Hot Wheels car. (And I also like the idea of not being served with divorce papers.) It’s a beautiful toy car, no arguments there. But seriously – $350??? Sorry, but I’ll just have to enjoy it from afar. Or will I? A certain phrase now comes to mind – Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery. Time to imitate!
