Any Hess Truck Collectors?

Been dealing with this flu bug and spiraling deeper into the YouTubes and found myself down the Hess Truck rabbit hole. My Dad used to get me a Hess Truck each Christmas, consistently from 2002-2016 or there abouts. He also got himself the trucks as well and would have two of each, one for displaying and one stayed in the box. So, I have a bunch of Hess Trucks along with the collector bags and even the energizer batteries in their Hess labeled boxes. The batteries are stored separately in case of leakage issues. My first Hess Truck was the 1967 Tanker Truck that my Uncle Bill got for me when he worked at a Hess station, wish I still had that one. I've got a picture of me playing with the truck but the pic is on a CD. In 1970, my Grandparents got me the years Hess Truck for Christmas and it was the Firetruck. I remember playing with that one.
So, in my Hess Truck video watching I saw that the 1992 truck was an 18 wheeler with a racer and that "racer" looks to be a Porsche 911. I thought that was pretty cool and just wondered if any of y'all have one, I'm not looking for one, just wondered. There are several on ebay and are not too pricey. Anyway, here are some pics from a couple of random ones on ebay.
