So with Christmas approaching fast, it got me thinking, whats the best present i have ever received when i was younger. Its an easy one for me… ![http://www.pedalcarpower.com/members/1447053/uploaded/Big-56845.jpg](http://www.pedalcarpower.com/members/1447053/uploaded/Big-56845.jpg) i remember this because i used to ride it everywhere. i used to live in south buffalo(thank god i moved) and i would go all over the place with it. so post away, what was your favorite present? ---

My dad built my sister and I each a wooden tack trunk for the barn. It took him almost a year to build both of them in his spare time when he wasn’t working his 2 jobs. We still have them, and I’ll cherish mine forever. ---
