At 44, I'm more concerned about appropriate lawn care than I thought I'd be in my 20's, but it's all good.

The Scalextric track is a ball, lots of different slot cars, buddies to race them, and a track layout that can be tinkered with forever.

I love to detail the 9-5 Sportwagon, the 9-3 SS, and the Mustang GT convertible (okay, I know the last one is very un-Saab-like, but man, is it fun).

The best part of all is that my 7 year-old girl and my 4 year-old son love to do all this stuff with me, and that's what it's really all about.

Cheers, and remember to treasure what's important in life. Erik
