So I was shopping for a 996.....but bought 8 cars instead
So I was shopping for a 996.....but.
Ever since the 996 thread started I've been watching prices and cars available with the thought of picking one up. Thursday I took the money to buy one and paid off my debt instead. So I'm debt free, but no 996.  I went to the toy store to buy my grandson a trinket or two. And I bought 8 new Porsches to replace the 996.   New set by Hot Wheels came out last month. The grandson got a set too.

Paying your debt was the wise choice. And your grandson got a memory of grandpa that he will remember forever.

I don't know how you got those so early. A little jealous. Mattel says they were to come to Wal-mart in June.

Thanks for the heads up on the set ... if you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for each one ? I'm just curious how much a HW like this is in Canada compared to here in the US. TIA.

I could post pictures of my 69. It was a barn find. Parked for 16 years.
