Nothing but your Hot Wheels collection
Hi. If you're anything like me, you like collecting large sums of 1:64 scale cars and looking at those cars over and over again.
So here is a post to share your records, cars (Mint condition, or out of package), and just your favorite, rarest and proudest cars in your collection!

Building something to show off the wife's cars. Just the basic layout for now, going to add a background and stuff.
Got the bottom paint on. Need to print off a background.
- That's a good start! — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- Wiener Car is one classic car !!!! — Desert_Rat_Racing
That BMW is probably my favorite car in my 240+ car collection. (Just picked up a few things from Slanman as well) I also have a couple bins of over a thousand old cars (Some of them are old, some are new). Some of 'em are fast, and I use them for modding!
Grabbed a few of these lego displays from Kmart (yeah, still going strong in NZ and Australia)
They are great for holding a few of the favourites...
- WOW!!! — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- You have found the cure for mini madness! — Vulfgang
- Dude can hold a Mini tournament all by himself ..... — SpyDude
some of my favorite redlines and a recent acquisition
- Very nice! — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- oh man! those are so cool! — ManiacMotorsports
- Ya 442 and some choice oldies. — Vulfgang
- An RL Trans Am. ALWAYS cool. — LottaSpeedRacing
My favorite at this moment: 67 GTO Tiger from Royal Oak Pontiac with the Bobcat kit. From the days when car dealerships raced cars you could buy off the lot. 
- Race on Sunday, buy on Monday. — SpyDude
- A friend of mine bought a new Dodge Shelby in the 80's and raced it in stock class drags. He called it his factory racing team because the car was under warranty. When the motor blew, Dodge replaced the motor no charge. — Vulfgang
- I read, in the '70's the funny car body molds were taken by renting the car for a week, cover with talc, and throw the fiberglass mold on the brand new car, wash it and return it. rental got suspicious, rent for a week, 25 miles on it, next time they were followed, and hertz had a cow, as there were 3 other cars covered in 'glass in the shop already, all hertz's — dr_dodge
- Hertz used to have "Rent a Race Car". — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- old stories are best shared — dr_dodge
Recently acquired 1972 Open Fire in toned Magenta...a casting that I never thought I'd actually own.
I have a few of my favorites on my end table, I should probably rotate them. I have a big extra bedroom full of cars and tracks. After I started collecting again last year I am hooked.
