Thanks to Black'03Level2 generosity and a little trade I've got me some new cars!

At least at your place they have better chance of being seen. Here at my house they mostly sat in the back of the closet!

I was eyeballing that bag of goodies wondering what was up with it.

I went up to the Bingham Copper mine about 10-15 miles south of me and took some photos. They had a die cast collection I thought I'd share. Here they are:

Went to the local thrift store today with my wife she wanted to look at the books I like to check out the DVDs and the toy area. Every once in a while I'll get luckly and find a bag of hotwheels or a die cast car. In this case I found another remote control car with out a remote. I really didn't like the wheels but I couldn't pass up the make and model. AMC pacer! I thought it would look good sitting next to my subi on my dresser. I'm prolly gonna "modify" like I did the subi I'll cut down the body monts so the body sits lower on the chassis so it appers to be lowered. Anyway on with the pics.

I love those Saleen mustangs in the first couple pics. I have always enjoyed going to a hobby store just to look at the models, I used to have some cheaper ones and beat the hell out of them.

While looking through those first few sets of pics, did anyone else feel like they were watching a Tom & Jerry chase scene where the background just kept scrolling along with the same stuff?

The real ones are a ton more fun! I drove a wrecker model hemtt (m984. Started with an a2, then upgraded to an a2r1, then was reassigned and fell in on an a1) for 6 years...

I first saw them at Fort Hood, when the company I worked for was building the motor-pool buildings for the first 5 Apaches. I love how they look. All the interchangeable stuff. The crane for the spare. They're just cool.
