Finally, something to easily divide and catalog each’s month’s CAR purchases … a carrying case for each month … 16 CARS? Just about right for October 2008.   Mack folds out to carry 16 CARS – rolls and can be carried around. A TRU exclusive. No price listing yet. Perfect with TREV, the Mini’s carrying […]
