    Well it's that time of year again. Come hang out with us and please if you can donate a new - unopened toy to Toys for Tots run by the US Marines for those who are less fortunate. This is our 5th year doing this and it keeps getting bigger each year!
    The event is going to be on Sunday Dec 12th at the Stop & Shop Plaza in Putnam CT @ 9am-12am in front of a store called Runnings (a super cool - guy type of store).
    With help from my good buddy Jared @crashngiggles we have secured a place to go wheeling if you want to at a private facility for the cost of only $10 per person, kids under 14 are free! We will be going wheeling around 12:30 following the toy drive.



    It's a great time - talking and interacting to all the people we talk to online all the time. So please come out and put some faces to the names we know and hang with us all in the name of a great cause!


    Like I said before this event has grown each year, let's make this year the biggest one ever! Check out the event from last year.

    A special thank you to Jared @crashngiggles and Scott @ERMB for all your help!

    Attention:

    We will be there from 9am-12pm with the trailer to collect any unwrapped new toys. At 12:30pm we will be lining up a convoy to head to a private property 10 acre off Road park in the same area. I will be getting all of the information about the Off Road park ahead of time and then giving all of the information to the group well before we convoy to the Off Road Park. I have heard that parts of this park are "Stock Friendly" to "Stock Jeeps" but there are other parts of the park that may require more skill and recovery gear. At 12 noon, I will be talking to everyone about this information so they can decide for themselves if they want to take their Rig (Daily Driver or not) into the park before you pay your fee.

    Dang, I'd love to be there but I'm out of state for vacation :annoyed:.
    This would have been the best opportunity to go from mall crawler to an actual offroad test.

    I'll be there for the toys not the wheeling

    I wouldn't. That would certainly be an off road test or a glorified mud loop :D if you're up to drive up to Vermont in the spring, let me know though - camping + wheeling with another group.

    I just woke up and what do you know, Home Alone is on! What is it about some of these movies? I could watch Home Alone, Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story and all the old clay motion Christmas movies almost unlimited this time of year. They really help to get me in the mood!
    What is all of your favorite Christmas movies, if any?

    Edit, i have to add Elf to that list as well! Can't forget about Elf!
