Volkswagen 4x4

2010-04-28T07:17:00.000-07:00

Volkswagen 4x4 by Matchbox. How cool is this guy? It has a little bit of dust on it because I've had it out in my office for a while now. You know, I never noticed before just now that Volkswagen is spelled with an 'e' at the end not an 'o.' How embarrassing. Anyhow, loved the paint job on this one and the details. Nicely done.

Jeep Willys

2010-04-12T06:52:00.000-07:00

Jeep Willys by Matchbox. I saw my first and only one of these while living in Brazil. I was amazing. So cool. I love the details on this one, and am tempted to get an extra. I know, silly, but great ones like this don't come around every day;)

2009-06-23T08:44:00.000-07:00

Aston Martin V8 Vantage

2009-06-16T08:18:00.000-07:00

Aston Martin V8 Vantage by Hot Wheels. This is a nice looking toy car. Still not a big fan of the sparklies in the paint job, but whatever.

2009-06-10T08:56:00.000-07:00

Dodge Challenger SRT8 by Matchbox. Great details. Awesome color. It says 'Challenger' and 'SRT' on the front grill, 'Dodge' on the back license plate. Really happy with this one.

Morgan Aeromax

2009-05-22T08:53:00.000-07:00

Morgan Aeromax by Matchbox. I'm in love with this car. I see these cars by Morgan at car shows and they are just beautiful. I was so excited when I saw this car on the backboard check list and when I finally found it at the store I was shocked. I haven't seen it since, but if I had I am tempted to buy another just because.

AMC Javelin AMX

2009-05-17T08:49:00.000-07:00

2008-09-26T08:29:00.000-07:00

It was on sale, and after buying it, besides the yellow color, it has some incredible details. My favorite being the lines on the back window.

Ferrari GTO

2008-09-22T08:16:00.000-07:00

Ferrari GTO by Hot Wheels.

Yeah, this has to be one of the nicer Ferrari's that Hot Wheels has made. The red paint is fantastic, great logo details. Just very nicely done.

Acura NSX

2008-09-19T08:58:00.000-07:00

Acura NSX, by Hot Wheels.

I kept putting off buying this one because I didn't like the blue with flames on it. I swear, they just put flames on EVERYTHING!!!

2008 Tesla Roadster

2008-09-18T02:56:00.000-07:00

2008 Tesla Roadster, by Hot Wheels.

Had to get the new Tesla. Very cool car. Hopefully they make one with a different color. But I did like the "tesla" on the rear. Nicely done.

'32 Ford Delivery

2008-09-17T08:14:00.000-07:00

2008-09-16T08:13:00.000-07:00

I usually don't buy the Mustangs but I really liked the details and body on this one. nice wheels too.

Chaparral 2D

2008-09-15T08:00:00.000-07:00

Chaparral 2D, Hot Wheels.

Thought it was a pretty cool looking car. Just wish it had a different paint job, not a big fan of the Hot Wheels flames.

Bentley Continental GT

2008-08-11T08:27:00.000-07:00

Bentley Continental GT by Matchbox. I couldn't resist buying this one after seeing one of my boyhood heroes driving one.

Mach 6

2008-08-08T08:08:00.000-07:00

Mach 6 by Hot Wheels. I'll be honest, it was hard finding one that I liked that was affordable. This is the best I can do with my budget, haha.

Updated 9-15-08:
Here's a couple more from the movie.

Racer

2008-06-16T08:39:00.000-07:00

Made in China, 2008 Schylling (that's all it says on the bottom).

Go Kart

2008-04-09T08:32:00.000-07:00

Go Kart by Hot Wheels.

Porsche Carrera GT

2008-04-04T08:31:00.000-07:00

Porsche Carrera GT by Hot Wheels. Nice details, except the head lights.

Mercedes-Benz Unimog U300

2008-04-03T08:31:00.000-07:00

Matchbox made this Mercedes-Benz Unimog U300. I'd been holding off of buying any of the work trucks that Matchbox makes. i don't typically like them all that much. It usually has to do with the details, like the grills, where they put chrome, paint jobs, interiors. A lot of times it just looks sloppy. I went ahead and got this one because I love Unimogs.

Anyhow, look how cool THESE Unimogs are! Watch me get carried away!

Prototype H-24

2008-04-02T08:30:00.000-07:00

This is a Hot Wheels car called Prototype H-24.

This one got me excited for a second, I thought it was the Porsche LeMans car (same color scheme), but then I realized it was a non-existent car. Oh, well. I couldn't help but buy it anyways. I has a nice little design. It reminds me of a speed racer car, like from the new movie coming out soon.

Here's the Porsche LeMans.

Chevy Van

2008-04-01T08:30:00.000-07:00

This is a Chevy Van by Matchbox.

This is another one I tried to avoid buying, but couldn't. We joking call this a kidnapper van or a spy van. I always wanted one in high school so I could put a tv inside with video games and sleeping bags, but whatever.

The only thing I didn't like about it was that there are big 'ol lumps around the wheels. You don't typically see that on these Chevy vans, do you?

Ferrari FXX

2008-03-31T08:51:00.000-07:00

Ferrari FXX by Hot Wheels. Looked so nice I had to have it.

1930's Batmobile

LeMans Cars

2008-01-03T14:31:00.000-08:00

These LeMans cars are the reason I started collecting cars in the first place. I was watching a lot of GT races on the Speedvision channel and I got hooked on the LeMans races. Then one day at the store I saw some of these cars for sell, and since I've tried to buy every one that I can find.

Celica Pikes Peak, 1997 - Hot Wheels

I got this one at an antique mall store for $1.99.

UPDATE: (3-29-08) I got this Pikes Peak Celica at the store recently. They also have it in Red. It's a Hot Wheel of course.

Maserati MC12 - Hot Wheels (Don't care much for this paint job).

Mercedes CLK LM - 1999 - Hot Wheels

Nissan Silvia S15 - Hot Wheels

Panoz GTR 1 - 1997 - Hot Wheels (love Panoz).

Porsche 928

2008-01-02T16:26:00.002-08:00

Pierce Arrow Model B 1930

2008-01-02T16:23:00.000-08:00

Pierce Arrow Model B 1930. I bought this thing for so cheap at Wal-Mart. Like 6 bucks or something. It's kind of cheapy, but makes for good drawing reference.

Mercedes Benz SSK

2008-01-02T16:22:00.002-08:00

Mercedes Benz SSK by Burago. I feel so bad. I've dropped this thing so many times because it's been on display next to where I work, so pieces are missing all over it. The hood ornament, the wind shield, and one of the tires is missing. Oh well. Still looks great. Some cars age well, and when you damage them only give it character. I also think a well designed car will always look good even when it's covered in mud and dirt, or rusted away.

Lotus Esprit Sub

2008-01-02T16:21:00.002-08:00

This is the awesome Lotus Esprit Submarine from James Bond made by Corgi.

It has 4 small wheels underneath, and when you click the grill on the hood...

...it transforms into a sub. The trigger on top is to release the tiny red missiles on the back window, which are very easy to lose.

Love the details. Worth every penny.

International Armored Car

2008-01-02T16:21:00.001-08:00

Halloween Robo Car

2008-01-02T16:20:00.002-08:00

Halloween Robo Car by Hot Wheels. Hot Wheels came out with a few Halloween Cars for Halloween 2007. This is the only one I bought. I had to have it, I'm addicted to Robots right now. I really like how the tires are rubber too. Don't see that very often on Hot Wheels or Matchbox. Kind of silly though, a robot with wheels on its back.

1986 HOTWHEELS SPEED DEMONS SILVER ZOMBOT 3852

Incredimobile

2008-01-02T16:20:00.001-08:00

Ford Crown Victoria

2008-01-02T16:19:00.001-08:00

Ferrari Enzo

2008-01-02T16:16:00.002-08:00

The Enzo Ferrari. This is a small RC made by Nikko. It has some nice details, and looks nice next to my smaller one. (I'll post that one later)

Ferrari 250 GT Spider

2008-01-02T16:16:00.001-08:00

Cadillac Northstar LeMans Prototype

2008-01-02T16:12:00.000-08:00

Cadillac Northstar LeMans Prototype by Hot Wheels. This is a larger scale car. I have the smaller Hot Wheels car, if you click on the label "cadillac" below you can see the other smaller one.

Love the engine details.

Here's a real one.
