I love this idea. So cool and exciting. Anyhow, I have a loooot more, most of them are kind of rice-y, but I'll probably post them up sometime in the future.
Mercede-Benz C-Class (1997). This one was a champion on our gravity tracks. It runs smooth and pulls hard. A real dependable work horse.
Pontiac Bonneville (2002). This one was notsogood on tracks because it was so long. It looks wicked, as Lewis Hamilton would say.
Toyota Tacoma Pikes Peak (1999). This one was my favorite for awhile, especially after I saw a video of a V8 race truck. This and my neighbor's Opel GT really got me into cars.
Cadillac Allante (1987, Matchbox). This one is just silly. Maybe the coolest die-cast I own though.
Two unmarqued police cars (1993). They say Warner '93 on the bottom, and IIRC that just means that the intellectual property rights are Warner's. But I don't really know how these came about. Kinda cool.
Taildragger (1997). This thing was a racing champ as well, but only because it is nearly as dense as Joey Essex. Watch out: if not properly contained, this one will suck your house in around you like a black hole.
BMW Z8 (no date, Welly no. 2056). Best Bond car ever? No.
Two Shadow Mk IIa's (1999). The one on the right is cooler than the one on the left. #stealth
Peterbilt (1979). Truck yeah.
McDonald's Hot Rod (1999). I got this in a trade back when I was four or five. I gave my friend a die-cast plane (I still have some of these if anyone's interested). The paint is actually in really good condition. I didn't realize how dusty it is.
8 Crate (2002). I don't know anything about this, but it looks like something Billy Gibbons would play.
More to come over the next few days. I'll also compile a nice Google Docs spreadsheet with all my available cars.
All are open for trades. If it's a good deal for me and a good deal for you, let's make a deal, and everyone wins in that deal! Deal!

The reason whose two police cars (which, by the way, are Oldsmobile Auroras) have the Warner '93 marking is because the first edition of the casting was part of the Demolition Man series, based on the film of the same name (which was a Warner Bros film).
The thing is...the Aurora wasn't actually in the film (but then again, neither was the Pontiac Salsa that was also part of the car line).
Also, that paint scheme means those are versions of the Aurora from 1997.

I'd be interested in the 2 Shadows. Looking for anything specific?

OK, here's what I got to trade for the new record long distance Continental US trade:
Let me know if you want the details on any of the loosies. They are all pretty self explanatory, except the Hollowback (black one and has a metal base) and the '70 Roadrunner (lime green). I'm also trading with Sn210 at the moment so hopefully you guys don't want the same cars. I do have another mars rover at home, if that is one you both want.
