If I had money and a family, I don’t think I’d plunk $45K on a new Honda Odyssey. “It’s much cheaper used” also applies to the Honda, not just the Aston.

The Jetta is one of the harder FAST AND FURIOUS cars to get in diecast form. Several different diecast companies have the F&F license, but I think the only one ever to do the movie version of the Volkswagen Jetta, at least in 1/64 form, was Racing Champions and I don’t think they have the license anymore. I’d love to…

Baby Jesus should be Go Kart, which I believe is the smallest “mainline” Hot Wheels vehicle ever made (mainline: sold on the regular blue card alongside other normal-priced Hot Wheels).

Get them a wooden owl statue like the one seen here, which used to sit atop the hot dog stand right in the middle of the Pentagon’s courtyard.

I think this was the first time I’ve ever seen the back rack on a Stingray used for what I presume was its primary purpose.

Hmm, my picture doesn’t seem to have gone through. I’ll try uploading it at Tinypic.

It’s not just a luggage rack, it can also be used to hold the detachable components of the T-Top roof.

Yeah, I was going to say it kind of reminds me of the Hot Wheels version of the Pontiac Banshee IV.

The DaVinci Project, sponsored by online casino GoldenPalace.com, was a 2004 attempt to capture the 2004 Ansari X Prize, for privately-funded suborbital space flight, by launching a rocket-powered capsule, the Wild Fire MK Vl, from high in the atmosphere where it would have been lifted up there by low-tech balloons.

I don’t know if it’s a great photo, but, if you want an interesting angle, here’s a worm’s-eye view of a 1968 Mustang California Special that I took at a Kanata Cruise Night classic car show in August 2014.

Disclaimer: Mad Max: The Game very rarely feels like Mad Max: Fury Road. And truly, it’s a case of wasted potential. Can you imagine a Mad Max game in the Uncharted mold—tight pacing and cinematic scripting with oppressively thick tension and subtlety to match? If only, if only.

The weird thing about Europe not officially getting the Ford Mustang until now is that the first and second film appearances of the Ford Mustang were in European movies. The second movie to feature a Mustang was a film that most people have at least heard of, Goldfinger.

Oh, wow, Dicom is a Montreal company and they also operate in Ottawa, where I am. So there’s a small chance I could see that awesome 944 in person, and I’m a big fan of the 944.

There is at least one Matchbox, the large orange 4x4 truck: a Chevy Blazer from a 2012 Brush Fire Rescue 5-pack.

Is the cartoon car supposed to be any model in particular? I think it looks like a Morris Minor.

Masamune Shirow’s early manga, BLACK MAGIC M-66, had some superficial similarities to THE TERMINATOR, except with a female android. The anime based upon it was made in 1987 (and contains some allusions to THE TERMINATOR) but the original manga was released in 1983, a year before THE TERMINATOR was released (although I…

If you don’t mind a smaller scale, Hot Wheels put out the Island Hoppers Volkswagen Vanagon (as “Sunagon”) as a Magnum P.I. “Retro Entertainment” model.

See, here’s the thing. I play a lot of driving games. Intuitively, driving games should be better with a steering wheel than an analogue stick on a pad. I bought a medium-priced Thrustmaster steering wheel, used it a couple of times, but now it collects dust.

I think that’s pretty close to how I configured mine, Azzurro California exterior, traditional beige interior with Cuoio carpets, charcoal and beige dash, and I got the Daytona seats too, though I added alternating Cuoio/Beige insets.

I like blue Ferraris too but I’m more of a steel blue guy so I went with Azzurro California exterior with Nero black roof, traditional beige interior with Cuoio carpeting and a charcoal & beige dashboard.
