The enthusiasm over the Buick Grand National Hot Wheels has us wondering: what's your favorite toy car?
Growing up we loved a good Matchbox or Hot Wheels car. A copy of Gran Turismo was great, and everyone loves an R/C/ car, but it's hard to top what a small toy car can do to a young person's imagination. Having relatives in Germany, we got a great mix of BMW 8-Series police cars and strange Mercedes wagons. They were awesome. Yet, it was a Ford Escort Cosworth we remember best. It was foreign. A hot hatch? What was this? Where did it come from? Why did it have two spoilers? Our developing mind went over the meaning and possibilities a million times and, in all these years, hasn't stopped considering the concept.
Good luck, mytdawg...
