Assorted Hot Wheels Cars

Well, I am NO MEANS your average Hot Wheel diecast collector. I don’t live, breathe, and bleed Hot Wheels. I don’t door warm stores in hopes of grabbing a treasure hunt car. And I damn sure don’t leave my family in the midst of the night to run through 5+ stores or 100 mile radius hoping to catch “fresh” unopened Hot Wheel cases to rip through and leave strewn about. Nor do i venture in their $30 entry fee Hot Wheels club to PAY $30 for each hot Wheel exclusive site car (ridiculous!)

But every now and then I will see a few that are cool enough to spend the $1 on. And thanx to Jun Imai the last few years designs have rocked on the import cars! I had a National Show winning Honda Civic, so these first two 1:18 Honda Civic’s really got me hooked to Hot Wheels import offerings. And the rest are eye catchers on my last few trips through the toy aisles.

Talking Tomica CARS

These 1:64 scale CARS of Dinoco Lightning McQueen and Regular Lightning McQueen have a talking function once your press down on the rear end of the car. The voices are all in Japanese. Pretty cool little novelty toy!

Maisto AllStars Scion xB

Found yet another cool Maisto xB last night, wonder how many more paint schemes might show up?

Jada Toys 1:32 VW Drag Bug

Passing through the diecast aisle on the usually bi weekly grocery run, seemed to be the same ole same. I really don’t look at any of the newer Jada 1:32 Scale friction cars because they relatively make me sick. How many frigging Camaro’s and Mustangs need to be done…***BARF*** And the Chargers, Escalades, Supras (CORNY), etc. Well one FINALLY caught my eye. This little guy stood out like a breathe of FRESH air! Now all we need are some more FLAT colors with HOT drag graphics!

LAZY kitties

Well our little felines are pretty much the lazy cats everyone would want. The bigger one is the hidden kitty, she stays out of sight until dinner time and then goes back to hiding. The smaller (just out of kitten stage) one is somewhat mischievious. She loves plastic bags, boxes, milk rings anything she can swat around or makes noise with. But these little spats usually last a good 5 minutes then she tires out and wants to lay down for a few hours. I though I would shoot a few pics of these lazies after last nights BBQ. A friend came by with here 2 boys, and needless to say those 2 boys raced and chased the hell of our little girls. So they crashed hard after they left.

And they moved spots before we went to sleep…

47 Inch LCD is setup

I finally got off my lazy butt Wednesday when I got off work, with the go getter mindset to get the new TV out fo the box and all the components hooked up. Well there was only one HUGE obstacle, which was a stand for the TV and getting rid of my current HUGE entertainment system. Well, after thinking all night at work about how it could be done, I attacked the old E center with a screwdriver, pliers, and hammer. Needless to say it was pretty painless to remove the top half of the center with ease which made a GREAT stand for the TV. 60 minutes later and $250 still in my pocket the TV was up. within another hour or so the Playstation 3 and Wii were hooked up. All I needed now was my HD DVR from cox which came thursday. got that wired up….man and all that work, the reward of seeing that TV in all its HD glory is a wonderful award!
