Hot Wheels Ferrari 308
The Ferrari 308 is best enjoyed in red, when wearing a tropical shirt, and a Detroit Lions baseball cap. But, in a pinch, a nice white Ferrari will do!

Hot Wheels Ferrari F50
My tiny Ferrari Festival continues with this blue Ferrari F50 from Hot Wheels.
The Hot Wheels Ferrari F50 is a die-cast gem that captures the essence of Ferrari’s 50th-anniversary supercar. Introduced in 1996 as part of Hot Wheels’ mainline series, this 1:64 scale model replicates the F50’s sleek curves, iconic red paint, and signature prancing horse badge. With detailed headlights, taillights, and a low-slung stance, it’s a favorite for collectors and kids. Special editions, like the 1996 First Edition with 5-spoke wheels and the 2000 Treasure Hunt with Real Rider tires, elevate its appeal. The 2010 Ferrari 5-Pack version added a glossy black variant, while rare releases like the 1997 FAO Schwarz exclusive remain collector’s treasures.
The real Ferrari F50, launched in 1995, celebrated Ferrari’s golden jubilee with a limited run of 349 units. Inspired by Formula 1, it featured a 4.7-liter V12 engine derived from Ferrari’s 1990 F1 car, producing 513 horsepower. This mid-engine beast hit 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds and topped out at 202 mph. Its carbon-fiber chassis and open-top barchetta design offered a raw, driver-focused experience, blending racecar dynamics with road-legal style. The F50’s removable hardtop and minimalist interior made it a purist’s dream, priced at around $480,000 in its day.

A Little Ferrari Festival!
The Hot Wheel Ferrari Enzo
It's time for a $10 Ferrari Festival. It's all the little Ferraris that I was able to buy for about $10. We'll kick the festival off with this brilliant red Ferrari Enzo from Hot Wheels! I'd like to think that Ferrari inspired Toyota to add a gated shifter for my much more mundane real world car!

Our autographed General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard
This is one of my favorite die-cast cars. It's an ERTL rendition of the "General Lee" from the "Dukes of Hazzard" television series that aired from 1979 through 1985. The cool thing about this car is that it was autographed for my wife and I by "Cooter" himself. Actor and former U.S. Congressman, Ben Jones autographed it for us when we visited a "Dukes of Hazzard" museum that he opened in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains.
