Boys and their toys

March 15, 2008 | In Personal | No Comments

I always loved Hot Wheels and Matchbox Cars growing up. The small cars were fun to zip across the floor or ride over the sofa. I never lost that interest in the little vehicles, picking up a few over the years but never really jumping into the collecting realm.

My friend Alex started collecting the cars, encouraging me to follow suit – knowing my interest in the diecast marvels. At $0.97 a pop at Walmart it was finally a collectable that I could sink my teeth into without sinking my bank account.

Currently I have about 15 cars (including two mystery cars – you don’t know what you’re going to get). I’m going to try to chronicle my collection here in the gallery.
