If you’re feeling a little nostalgic which we like to do sometimes on the Mojo Motors Blog, you’ll probably like our gift guide of car toys. Commonly overlooked and seldom used these days, the car toy has been overshadowed by video games, texting and whatever else it is kids do. Is that wrong? We can’t say it is because we have a racing video game gift guide too. Yet, if you’re looking for gifts that show some novelty and a respect for the lost art of playing with car toys, keep reading for our favorites this holiday season.
A few months back the Mojo Motors Blog put together a list of the ultimate list of movie cars. Take note, that blog post shouldn’t be used as a reference of car movies that are actually good, however. If you’re going to buy someone a car movie or DVD set for the holidays, check out our top entertainment picks of the automotive variety. For a list of the best classics, we recommend IMDb’s Best Car Movies of All Time.
