Never Too Old for Toy Cars
There’s an internet meme that’s been going around showing a young boy reaching up for Hot Wheels – the caption is “A man’s most expensive hobby starts with 97 cents.” The matching hashtag for this should be #kiddingnotkidding, as there is definitely some truthfulness to this meme. As car enthusiasts, the wait to get our licenses seems to take an eternity. We fill this time with car-related toys, collecting everything we can get our hands on. Hot Wheels are a natural draw, due to the massive variety and affordable pricepoint. I was always the kid who wanted “real” cars, not the fake crazy looking ones that are part of each toy collection.

After Hotwheels and Matchbox cars, the next “level-up” would be larger scale diecast vehicles. These are awesome in that they are more “realistic” and more closely resemble what we actually drive.
