Save the Race Car!

First Twinkies and Hostess cupcakes.  

Brace yourself for another...in case you haven't heard the news.

Monopoly is changing its game tokens.

What will go away will be up to vote.  

Personally, do away with the iron, shoe or thimble, and I won't blink.

But the race car?  Oh, no.  Don't take away the race car.  I was ALWAYS the race car.

Others disagree. Over on Facebook where there's a link for you to vote, Zappas has established a campaign to 'Save the shoe.'  

Not surprising.  Zappos started with shoes.  There's a nostalgic alignment for them.  Indeed, I learned about Monopoly's nefarious campaign through Autoweek. Autoweek learned about it from the Detroit Free Press.  DFP wants to save the car.

The potential replacements include a robot, helicopter, guitar, ring and cat.  

 Upset about seeing one of your favorite tokens locked up forever?  Vote for one of the five BRAND NEW tokens to join the wonderful world of MONOPOLY and fall in love all over again. Vote here: http://bit.ly/saveyourtoken

I'm surprised there's not a cell phone or computer token being offered.

Please, I beg you, go vote.  Save the race car.

But look at that shoe ~

Can't they at least update it?  It looks like something found on the side of the road.

We were quite attached to our Monopoly tokens.  We also played the game of "Life" back then.  

I was always the blue car.  

Thanks for reading and commenting.   Cheers
