Hot Wheels Hump Day - Hot Wheels 1970 Ford Mustang Mach 1

On this Hot Wheels Hump Day, the bright yellow of this 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 can even brighten up a big piece of granite.  This one has colors for the Annapolis Fire Rescue department.  I have to wonder if it was based on someone's real car.

Thriftstore Diecast: #16 Greg Biffle NASCAR Ride from 2005 Season

Diecast cars in thrift stores look like they've been raced hard and spent years trading paint.  This car has been around the block a few times.

 This was NASCAR racer Greg Biffle's car from the 2005 season.  In 2013, it graced the shelves of a Goodwill in Georgia.

Hot Wheels Hump Day - BMW 2002

It's time for a Hot Wheels Hump Day!  Here's my BMW 2002.  The BMW 2002 has always been my favorite BMW.  A friend of mine had a BMW 2002 many years ago as his first car and it was a fun car -- a very tossable performer!

McClaren F1 GTR

It's been a long time since I posted on this blog.  But, I'm feeling the need for a little speed.  I'll revive this blog with one of my favorite 1:18 diecast cars.  It's a McClaren F1 GTR.  The McClaren's were raced on all sorts of European racing circuits.
