That is why I buy a few of the same, so I can ply with one & collect the rest. We should set up a track at the next Ramble..
This truly is a Sad day for Car guys & kids alike. For many of us, a Hot Wheel was our 1st car and he drove our desires to play with cars for a life time. I remember collecting deposit bottles while walking home from school (a few miles, yes some of us really did that) then cashing them in at the Zippy Mart on the way to school and after I had a few bucks, I would wait for a Sat that I could sneak (I wasn't suppose to ride this far, I was only 6 or 7 maybe) on my bike & ride to Zares on Normandy & Lane to buy as many as I could. I still to this day buy Hot Wheels when at the store, WD or Publix, I still look & buy..
