Throwback Thursday: I can into 1/64
This is one of the few cars that managed to survive my childhood all the way into old-manhood. The Ford Courier camper from Matchbox, circa 1979. It seems to be missing something...

Fresh Hawl: Maistos @ Costco
So fresh they're still in the trunk. The Costcos near me were a little late to the party, but they finally got their Maistos in this week. I was so shocked at finding the GT3 RS 4.0 and the Huracan that I accidentally picked up the Viper instead of the new Mustang. I wish I could have found a white Corvette, but for…
Teutonic Tuesday: Ottomobile BMW E34 M5
When it comes to the M5, or even the 5-series in general, it is the E39 that is generally regarded as the high point for the model. I don't necessarily disagree with this opinion, but at the same time, if I had a choice between an E39 or comparable E34 M5, I might actually go for the E34. Because throwing stars.
Review: CMC Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren
Mercedes. McLaren. Those two names rank pretty high in the annals of motorsport. And the world was put on notice when those two names came together to produce the SLR. The result of this collaboration though was more GT than Supercar, unlike the Carrera GT and Ferrari Enzo which were released around the same time.
Ferra-Friday: Hot Wheels 550 Barchetta and Superamerica
Since HooniverseJeff posted his standard 550 earlier, I figured I'd post the other 550 versions. Yes, I know the Superamerica is based off the 575M, but they're the same car as far as I'm concerned.
Wagon Wednesday: Norev Mercedes Benz CLS Shooting Brake
When Mercedes Benz introduced the 1st gen CLS (W219) to the world, it introduced (actually re-introduced) the styling concept of the 4-door coupe. While most automotive purist disagreed with the coupe designation, the car went on to be a sales success for Mercedes and spawned a fair number of imitators.
Ferra-Friday: Style Evolution
I know that technically these are distinct models, but the M.O. for supercars back in the day was to base them in some part on your regular production vehicles. You've seen the Kyosho 328 and F40 before, and today they bracket the Hot Wheels 288 GTO. It's a fortunate coincidence for me that I happen to have them all…
Yay! LaLD is fixed!
Have a Bugatti Chiron
HALP! I can't post
At least not directly from the LaLD page. Nor can I reply to any posts. It's as if I'm not signed in, but I don't have the sign in option either. I had to go to Oppo to compose this post.
FerraFriday: Hot Wheels F512M
The F512M was the last version of the car that began life in 1984 as the Testarossa. Production only ran from 1994 to 1996, and only totaled 501 cars. This was a drastic drop from it's 512TR predecessor which sold over 2,200 units over its '91-'94 production run. My guess it was because the M dropped the always…
Late Night Want : Curse you Ottomobile
So I'm already plotting on the best way to get one of these...
For Sn210 and El Uly: Exoto Jagermeister Porsche pics
Well, apparently I never took any detail shots of these, but I did find some exterior shots. Kinda makes me wish I hadn't sold them.
Teutonic Tuesday Tri-star Trio
When I think about my collection, I mostly think of the 18th scale cars I collect, and the handful of 64th scale that have managed to survive my childhood. But I sometimes forget I have yet another scale in my collection. Back before my old job got all bothered by employees personalizing their workspace, I had a…
Review: BBR Ferrari Enzo Ferrari - Let's try this again
Welcome to Supercar Sonday. or is it Munday? Smunday? Whatever you want it to be, this is my second attempt at this after most of the original post got Kinja'd last night. The introduction is still there, so let's get to the review.
Supercar Sunday Extra: A pic from back in the day
Maisto Porsche Carrera GT Concept, CMC McLaren Mercedes SLR, and BBR Ferrari Enzo
Supercar Sunday: BBR Ferrari Enzo Ferrari
Introduced in 2002, the Ferrari Enzo was Ferrari's supercar successor to the legendary F40 and not so legendary F50. Initially only 349 units were scheduled to be produced, but 50 additional units were added for a total of 399.
Ferra-Fri Day
It's barely still Friday around here, but I wanted to get in on the inaugural Ferra-Fri Day. This was supposed to be a review as well, but seeing as I'm about to fall out, that'll have to wait for Supercar Saturday. Maybe the sun will be out and I won't have to deal with these white-balance issues either.
