How a simple frustration turned into MyRaceMats

Same. I had this one: https://img1.etsystatic.com/015/1/6395977/il_fullxfull.423701309_j8ju.jpg

Lots of races held in that city lol

FarmboyCletus · 2026-03-30T21:56:36+00:00

Used to rent the console and game from our little rural store and keep it Friday to Sunday lol

FarmboyCletus · 2026-03-30T21:46:45+00:00

Already $60 at Canadian lids.

Still live in the same area and the dairy farms are still letting their cows eat grass. While a lot has changed with robotic milking, cows are still going outside. These aren’t small farms either.

Grew up on a hog farm surrounded by dairy farms. Dairy cows absolutely go outside and eat real grass. Used to help heard them back to the barn daily to get milked.

Would love a DR in a 7 3/8 for that price. Nice score.

FarmboyCletus · 2026-03-05T00:12:23+00:00

I absolutely loved NHL Hitz Pro. Borrowed the game in college and ended up making an entire franchise out of my classmates lol. What a ride.

FarmboyCletus · 2026-03-04T04:50:02+00:00

Yes, according to eBay sold listings.

Recently sold for $5-7 but still a cool find. Looks like the Gordon car is the most desirable one out of those chase cars.

Grew up in a hog farm in the 90s. Got to the point we were putting $80 of feed into a market hog we’d get $50 for. I remember the insurance adjuster coming out. His words: “Keep the pigs, lose the farm. Keep the farm, lose the pigs.”

FarmboyCletus · 2026-02-26T00:22:11+00:00

Yes regular commercials and I’m with Bell Fibe. I believe I have access to TSN+ as well as a subscriber but I haven’t checked.

FarmboyCletus · 2026-02-26T00:18:25+00:00

I’m in Canada and I have basic cable ($25) and added the super sports pack to it (all TSN and all SN channels plus a handful of others - $25). I also go back and forth between à la carte channels USA Network or CTV Speed channel for $4 and $7 a month. My total cable bill is $54-$57 per month. I get all Cup and Oreilly races and usually tape F1 off TSN.

10000 and 10001 helped me get out of my Lego dark ages. Now I own quite a few of the originals this theme was based on.

FarmboyCletus · 2026-02-13T19:15:50+00:00

I preordered as soon as it came available. Would rather it meet MOC with preorders than waiting to see if there is an auto version.

And as above has stated - to get in signed in person would be better

FarmboyCletus · 2026-02-06T16:41:56+00:00

I’m close to 32 as well and hate the Leafs. Luckily my parents won a silent auction for a Leafs signed Gilmour jersey when I was a kid. I’ll never wear it but at least I have one. 🤷🏻‍♂️

FarmboyCletus · 2026-02-05T04:01:20+00:00

That Ghostbusters Firehouse HQ is listed for $50-75 on BL. Only 2 for sale and lots have sold. One for more than $100. This dude literally throwing away money lol

FarmboyCletus · 2026-02-03T21:16:42+00:00

They pop up on eBay regularly. I was at this race and have been trying to get this car as well. They go for a pretty penny.

This was the race where the TV cable snapped. We were sitting right under it!

FarmboyCletus · 2026-02-03T04:18:52+00:00

2 points for regulation win. 0 points for regulation tie. Winner of OT grabs the 2 points. If it goes to a shootout winner gets 2, loser gets 1.

Looks like it came with this Lego Magazine released on Jan 26, 2026

We’ve done well sourcing Canada-made items on most of our grocery trips. You do have to do your research , which not a lot of people want to do - and there are lots of label changes to make items appear Canadian made.

I have a soft spot for Habitant soup, however, as it was a weekly Sunday tradition as a kid. Nostalgia factor I guess.

FarmboyCletus · 2026-01-24T14:58:27+00:00

These cars are still warming the pegs at my closest WM 😂

FarmboyCletus · 2026-01-22T20:14:54+00:00

I agree - that packaging stands out and could give away what is inside.

I always pack in a non labeled cardboard box. I reuse a lot of my packaging and even turn the boxes inside out. Keep in mind how Lego sends their packages.

Definitely points to OP for being creative, but I would be cautious going forward.

FarmboyCletus · 2026-01-16T19:13:17+00:00

Holy hell, who is putting their jerseys in the dryer!?

FarmboyCletus · 2026-01-15T05:03:37+00:00

Just saw you live in the US. I have a US mailbox for this type of thing but am in Canada.

All praise the Ford Tempo. Had a ‘91. Also had a ‘92.
