Hot Wheels 2013 Dodge Viper

In the Hot Wheels 2012 New Models edition they released the 2013 Dodge Viper. That's normal for Mattel, but there's a funny twist.  This was the first time anyone had seen the new Viper.  The toy was released a bit too soon, about a month ahead of the real car.  Motor Trend had an article using the Hot Wheel to discuss the new changes to the Viper. You can check it out here.

This wasn't the first time this has happened.  People got a first look at the new Corvette body style back in the sixties when the Hot Wheels was released first.

So there's some weird trivia for you in case you haven't heard. Thanks for visting and of course; Enjoy!

Porsche Racing

Howdy.  Not much to report on the site right now, just the usual daily updates. However, I did add a new listing in the Porsche section.  Porsche Racing.  I thought they would do better on their own page like this Corgi Junior Porsche 917.   As always, enjoy.

MOPAR fun in '34

A couple of weeks ago in my one of my diecast hunts in the city, I found these 2 cars by Hot Wheels. They are quite nice.  I will add them to site eventually.  In the meantime enjoy the pic.

100 Posts! Vacation Time!

In case you don't read the Facebook page, I went on a Mini Vacation this week.  I visited a classic car museum which had some really nice cars, stayed in a cabin and of course hunted for new diecast in the city.  This Hot Wheel Troy Soldier attended the BBQ.  Much fun had by all. Ciao!

Texaco

One of the new pics I added this week is this very nice Matchbox 1939 Chevy Panel Van from 2001.    It reminds me of a college summer when I worked at a Texaco truck stop.  I never got to drive one of those... or anything for that matter.  

I got to clean bathrooms and showers on a regular basis though. Yep showers.  Every time a trucker rented a shower you had to go in and clean it up for the next guy.  Much summer fun was had chasing random body hairs down the walls to the drain with a carefully aimed shower head so you wouldn't have to get near it.  It was much like today's video games. Well anyhow, enjoy the pictures.

Here are some random cars that are waiting to be assimilated into the Museum. Apparently some of them stopped for pizza, including Wolverine and Spider-man...
