We have one of those two. It’s been working and working for almost 8 years now. My son, the original owner, used to wash it and take such good care of it! Now, his little brother and two sisters fight over it as it were an Austin Martin. But I never want to part with it. It’s been such a big part of our lives!!!!

I have the same love/hate relationship with the TWO cars that we have. But when it is time to finally let them go, you think I’ll cry? I bet I will.

We have the same car but we call it the Fred Flinstone Mobile.

My parents bought it for my son at a flea market. The gas cap was cracked and it was fading but both my kids loved it. We still have it.

For some reason, I can’t bear to part with it. I guess saying good bye to that car will be like acknowledging that my children’s toddler-hood is over. Even though it has long since passed, I can’t bear the thought that it is gone, that my toddlers are gone, that my preschoolers are almost gone.

Yes, someday you will wish for the Magoo car and other toys to take up space again, but sadly, they will be long gone.

At least, that’s what I keep telling myself as I fall over hard plastic toys in the bathtub each day.

We, of course, had that exact same make and model . . . we were the 5th family to own it. It FINALLY, with no working wheels, no gas cap, and a broken support for the roof, went to the Magoo Car Junkyard in a land far far away. My kids were OK with it – because they got to see it put into the back of the monster green garbage truck and squished, which is apparently as fascinating as the little car was

I had never really given thought to the resemblance of that Little Tyke car and Magoo’s car, but it really does look like Magoo’s!

I can’t even remember what became our our Magoo car, not having been used in over 20 years. I remember my kids peddling around in it, though, pretending to be grown ups, driving their own cars…and now they are.

Sigh — another sweet post. We have one of those too, a golf cart in honor of my dad’s love for golf. Luckily we have storage space in the basement for those few toys we can’t bear to part with.

I once heard that the Cozy Coupe is the top selling car in America.

Oh,yes ma’am we have that car. We have a steep driveway so it gets driven most of the time on our large wrap-around deck. It goes to Starbucks, Tar-git, cee-vee-eth, and the doctor every single day. I love that car as much as my little boy does.

Those little coupes are such a HUGE hit with kids! We have four – different ones, but Little Tike.
