“This is the fastest car in the world.”

I had plenty of slick-looking Hot Wheels in my collection as a kid. And those flexible, orange plastic tracks were everywhere too. The cars were great but those tracks needed a little help. They couldn’t stand up to my roughhousing.

  1. I love Hot Wheels too! As a kid, I was never really into them beyond bugging my older brother to let me play w/ his track, (which was held together w/ electrical tape!), but as an adult, I really like them! I have lots of orange track (both old and new), and 2 of those wheel shaped Rally cases full of cars. I used to babysit a little boy, and one of his favorite things to do was play w/ my Hot Wheels! In fact, I just sent him a box of tracks, cars and a case of his own this past Christmas.

    • Wow, nice. You must have quite a collection going. Those wheel-shaped cases were the coolest.
