Growing up in India before the liberalization of our economy, the toys we used to get were all old school, and electronic toys were either super expensive or not available at all!

My best friend while we were growing up, he had an uncle who lived in Malaysia at that time, and this uncle had gifted him a huge remote-controlled monster truck toy. As a wee lad, this was the most magnificent thing i had ever come across and it completely occupied my mind. I remember we had to be very careful while playing with it, because batteries were expensive too! I also remember knowing for the first time then that this was something that my family could never afford as well. Over the years, as I've grown up, I've seen the country grow as well, but my love for cars has remained.

As I opened up /u/nachtbrand 's gift and saw the toy, I've had to scramble around hustling up all the batteries in the house to play with it! :D

Thank you so very much, you've made my year! God bless and a merry Christmas to you!
