Crap, how's the quality? Does it look pretty good, or is it just a repaint on the same old 911 that they've been making for years?

It kind of bugs me when the proportions and details are crap.

Because your Hot Wheels track with the loop, clamped to a tabletop, running across the floor is consistent with physical proportions.

El Segundo, CA. Home of Mattel. One benefit of being a resident? Hot Wheels were a buck.

Gee what's it been, a couple of weeks since the last "Urban Outlaw" thread? Good to see he has completely whored himself out.

Whether you like his styling of his cars. Got to admit he has marketing skills.

They should have made a 911 body and made the 277 car. The car they made never existed in Magnus' collection.

Regular ones are .97 here. $4.99 for "special" ones but those are higher quality and come with a card!
