It's a beautiful thing to be free and have the government stay out of your way.

I just hope that the Radio Flyer company doesn’t get on them for using logo.

These days unfortunately anything can happen.

If they had half a PR brain, they’d hire this retired couple to drive it coast to coast, with scheduled events along the way. Ka-Ching!

Yep it would be great PR.

What fun it would be to see them in the Macy’s Thanksgiving day parade in NYC.
My brother suggested that.

As long as they are not selling them, they should be ok.
