My very first Hot Wheels car

Brakefluid_Tracksurgeon Saturday, 4/9/2016

Recently, I found this at the bottom of one of my old boxes of stuff. This Pontiac GTO was my first diecast car. It's also the first toy I ever had as an infant in the late 2000s. I remembered the GTO being the longest car in my collection of about 5 cars.

lucky you , to still have it...

   mom n dad gave me my first "Matchbox" car [it was tan] in '65 while i was in the hospital after having my tonsils out... we didn't have a sand "box"... that darn sand "pile" seemed to eat my cars, army men and about anything else it could swallow ...

would be cool to still have it though...

Should we have a mail-in race sometime, for everyone's unaltered first car--just as it is now? I know what kind it was--a yellow HW Mercedes C-Class--the problem is that I have two of them. My mom and I generally think that the older one is the one with most all of the chrome worn off the wheels, but I've had both of them for a long time.
