$130 is steep but I actually considered it until I saw it costs $68 to ship. You can get a nice M3 for $8,000 so I guess its a deal to pay 1/40th the cost for a car that's 1/18th in size. In theory you are saving $244.44.  Or is that not how this whole thing works?

well then go for the value based on your theory and buy a model Bugatti Veyron, at $200 for 1/18 scale, you'd be saving $94,244.

I feel at home when I'm on this forum.

I have no idea where it came from, but there was a Hot Wheels 8-series sitting on my kitchen counter today from 1990

Wife just confirmed my son swiped it from someone else's toy bin last night.

Glad he is turning the right direction instead of playing with his shuttle bus and civic hatchback, despite the pilfering that occurred.

I got this alignement rack, balancer and tire machine as a gift from Hunter Engineering.  It's 1/18th scale and I need a 1/16th scale car to put on it.  Currently I have my e92 M3 1/24 scale on it.

Ground clearance must have sucked getting it on that.

It was a little tight bit with a few 2x4's you can lift anything!

Just picked up a new HotWheels tonight because I felt like it looked really similar to my car!

I’d spend a pretty penny on a hot wheels that looked like that
