Jake has his own personal transportation system (PTS) that he calls "Grandpa".  It works great -- all he has to do is point and click.   OK, well maybe not click, but make some kinds of noise.  Grandpa swears that Jake has three levels of noise, depending on how urgently the destination is desired.

But that doesn't mean Jake isn't interested in other forms of transportation.   Grandpa's little red sports car is a great attraction, as is any truck that happens to be around.
