The big report was successfully submitted yesterday, so now it's on to a relaxing Saturday celebration of all things automotive. The Mayor put on this year's Daytona 500 for background and the hobbitlings hosted a grand rally of all their Matchbox cars.

Eejee with the favorite car on his racing team, a BMW M Roadster.
Addendum: The Hobbit Wife always remembered and loved this Chevy Camaro commercial from her teenage years but never imagined she'd be living it.
It's become next-to-impossible for her to get the boys to tell her the time, because every number has some connection to car trivia. For instance, 1:55 becomes "the limited top-speed of the BMW M3" and 2:53 becomes "the top-speed of the Bugatti Veyron." And it's not just the 11-year-old car genius that is responsible for the factual over-sharing. It's become apparent that the 6-year-old must have learned to read, because he spits out far too many car facts than he could have learned simply by osmosis.
Addendum: The Mayor is enjoying getting in on the car fun. Here's a new LEGO Bugatti Chiron that joins his work LEGO collection.
