Get to the beach before winter comes!

Fanciful creations from Hot Wheels

When I was a kid, I used to prefer Matchbox cars to Hot Wheels.  Matchbox cars were simply more realistic.  Now, as an adult, I've owned real cars and I'm starting to appreciate the design and craziness of Hot Wheels.  Go figure!  But, you can't just go down to your local car dealer and buy are real car like this one from my Hot Rods 5-pack.

Hot Wheels Collector Tip

Look for cars with a definite personality.  Those are the cars that people remember.

If you are sitting in your cube, doing paper work and handling e-mail, it might be time for a break.  You know you'd rather be playing with Hot Wheels.  You can check out my collection.  This little car is a stretched out Nash hot rod from my Hot Wheels Hot Rod 5-Pack.

There!  Don't you feel better now!  That little design with a blower and side pipes is pretty darned cool!

Hot Wheels So Fine: Dropped and Chopped!

I can't imagine driving a car like this one.  But, I do love the flat black finish that evokes the rat rod.  This Hot Wheels car is called "So Fine."

It's available in a variety of incarnations.  But, mine came from a 5-pack called "HW Hot Rods."
