So all of the Hot Wheels posts over the recent months made me bust out my Hot Wheels to share. Now to be fair, the last ones truly collected until this last month were in 2003. Also most have some...wear... because what kid doesn't abuse his hot wheels doing awesome stunts? Oh and I apologize for not taking more time with the photos to make sure all of them were clear.

Anyways, here we go:

Ze Germans: Audi Avus, Mercedes E-Class (DTM?), Mercedes 540 K, couple of S-Classes, BMW Z3, Porsche 959, Porsche 911 ducktail, Porsche 911 GT1, Porsche 930.

Racecars and some others: Jaguar D-Type, Ferrari 156, some drag car, Panoz GTR-1, Some ferrari, Cadillac LMP car, Firebird Funny car, some LeMans racer..., and four cars part of a deck-of-cards series.

The exotics: Chapparral, Ferrari Testarossa, Ferrari 360, Ferrari 250, 2 Ferrari F40s, 2 Lamborghini Countach LP500s', 3 Jaguar XJ220's

American sports-cars: Boss 302, '65 Mustang, Shelby Cobra (my first hot wheels, hence it looking sad), 3 Dodge Viper RT'10's, C5 Corvette, Corvette Stingray 3 Concept, C4 corvette, C3 Corvette, C1 Corvette

McDonald's Cars: Not going to spend time on this one... at least there is a C2 vette in there.

Americans: 2 Impalas (I think), roadrunner, Olds 442, Pontiac Firebird, Cutlass, some old Buick (I think), 4th gen camaro, 69 camaro, dodge charger daytona, 56 thunderbird, 63 thunderbird.

Trucks and stuff: not sure about everything in here. I've had the schoolbus for as long as I can remember. I also did the milk van and the dodge ute concept.

Random stuff: Always loved the Mach 5 (why is there a 6 on it?). Also the solar car.

Randoms: Stutz Blackhawk, Mini Cooper, Lincoln Limo, Jaguar XK8, Mazda Miata (NA), Cunningham C4R, Lexus SC300, Ford Escort Rally Car, Auburn 852, Ford GT.

Some favorites: Twin Mill with certificate of authenticity...even though it's a reproduction from Hot Wheels. Also that plastic faded quite rapidly. Hot Wheels turned out some cars in display cases back in the day, I picked up a '69 Firebird.

Kept in boxes when I realized what I was doing: Fiat 500c drag car, Thomassima III, 41 Willy's drag car, porsche 911GT3, Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari Enzo, Maserati MC12, Lotus Sport Elise, Ford Focus Drag car, Corvette Stingray Mako shark, Dodge Viper GTSR-R

Stuff from the GF for christmas/recent purchases (by column now): Lamborghini Countach, Lamborghini Reventon, Mazda Furai, Aston Martin One-77, Lotus Esprit, Pagani Huayra (went red instead of the silver one), Porsche 911 GT3RS, SRT Viper, Buick Hot Rod, 71 Dodge Demon, Chevy SS (it's a Nova), Acura NSX (went silver over Red), Lamborghini Estoque, Toyota 2000GT, Dodge Charge Daytona, E30 M3, 69 Ford Torino Talladega.

I also have quite a few Hot Wheels from the '60s and '70s that were from my father. I will post those on another day.

This guy is actually a tail dragger and is one of my all time favorites. Heavy ass cars.

Unless I'm mistaken (fair chance of that) I think that's a 333SP.

C-Class. 1997 First Editions version. Had two of them when I was a kid...ended up crushing both under a cinder block. Probably one of the dumbest things I've ever done.

I had a Pronto Cruiser like this, but mine was a cheaper Maisto one.

Ah...Express Lane. Had this as a kid, too.

You all kill me with these Matchbox dumps. I grew up collecting so many of these. All I ever wanted was Matchbox cars. I had well over 200 at one time and they became a staple for my nephew. Usually during the holidays when we were all at my parents house, my nephew would grab my matchbox cars. Without fail, every time I would play along with him. You know- for him! I would show him my favorites, which ones had moveable parts, the crash-ups, the dog looking out the window in the backseat, the rotating radar array on the NASA Winnebago, etc.

Sadly- my Matchbox collection was lost in a fire and well, all of my parents house. We lost almost everything we own. We were insured, but it doesn't replace the items really. So now I see things like the orange/red 'Vette with the metallic flecks, the white classy Countach, the whale-tail 911 (mine was brown) and it kinda makes me sad. I am not an emotional person by any means (read: robot) but these cars occupied so much more than just a bin. They molded and solidified my love of automotive design which continues to this day.

That being said- my nephew and I have been growing the collection again and I smile when I think about how he will have the same joy I had building up a group with a little or a lot of help from Uncle Buck.

Never knew this version of the GTS-R existed, I had the red with white stripes one.

carcrasher88 > Enginerrrrrrrrr 02/19/2014 at 16:15

Also didn't know this existed in red. Mine's (along with just about everyone else here that has one) red.

I walked into a store that had hotwheels from wall to wall. I spotted this one - the first non RT/10 Viper I had ever seen. It had to be mine.

That sounds quite familiar actually.

Enginerrrrrrrrr > Buckner 02/19/2014 at 16:31

Yeah even though this is my collection, I will be playing.... er having my nephew play with them once he gets older ;)

It's sad when things with sentimental value get lost. Glad you are building new memories though.

Yeah it is a C-Class.

I am sure there were a couple hot wheels I smashed or set on fire ;)

When I was little, (probably 5 or 6), my dad got one of these in the livery pictured above just a week after our visit to Champion Audi and Porsche of Florida, basically their old race headquarters. My dad wanted it for his desk, I wanted it for me. After a ton of bargaining, we came to and agreement in which we would trade it back and forth throughout the week.

One day, after using it for my turn, I attempted to slide it underneath a door to him on the other side. At this exact moment, he opened the door, causing the car to compress on the floor and spontaneously eject 3 wheels.

I don't know how it did it. I wouldn't have thought it was possible had I not seen it before my own eyes. But I cried for hours.
