A channel of a hobbyist who restores and repaints old Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars. This is pretty fun to watch, really.

That makes me unreasonably happy.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

I think I had that station wagon, and it was about that beat up too.
Had a whole case full of matchbox cars. Gave them to a church flea market decades ago. Part of me wishes I still had them.

I've kept boxes of them against the advent of grandchildren. I've busted them out to play with my daughters' friends' kids when they come over.

I made my own junkyard out of the carcasses of cars i found mowing lawns. Had tubs full of the cars and my son does too.

If I still have mine somewhere I'd try restorations on the Hot Wheels I got with the old Thundershift 500 Set. The paint on those chipped terribly since I ran the snot out of those cars.

I dug around in my desk drawer. These are ready for when the grandson doesn't put everything into his mouth. There's another box somewhere with more than this.

You know why Hot Wheels makes so many toy Mustangs? So kids grow up used to having to push them.
