There is a definite purpose in anything we do.
An action will cause a proportionate reaction.
It is the law of nature. Physics even says so!
Basically it has something to do with (well meaning) cause and (well intended) effect too.
Thus, many great creations encompass equally great effect on people.
When people started creating toys, their perceived purposes were vast.
Most toys are scaled down versions of desirable human possessions (i.e houses, prized animals, gadgets) that are meant to be aspirations in later adult life (i.e doctors gear, driving a sports car). A toy thus is a miniature meant to stimulate a child’s mind and heart to reach for his/her dreams in the future.
In spite of this fact, there is an underlying noble and basic intent of toys.
To be honest, the fundamental purpose of which is to bring happiness.
Pure and simple JOY!
So too this car brings joy …

very nice your joy toy.
and very interesting your thoughts.
i could add that toys have changed since the times i was a child.
40 years ago, the toy cars showed a car like the one your dad drives actually. you craved for your dad car because your dad was your hero.
nowadays, children do not consider their father as hero. and they do not want their father's car anymore, they want cars with hot wheels look, huge tires, lots of exhaust pipes. cars that their dads will never have,
and very different from your joy toy. 8O(
Hola Gaucho!
You are absolutely right. I grew up around cars ever since I can remember. My dad owns a car shop and I'm proud to say my dad is the biggest influence in my love for cars :-) of course he too is a hero to me!
We share the same thoughts amigo!
Greetz and gracias!
Erwin
