That was the first Civic I picked up, my other errors are a red C7 with a chip on the hood and a blue DBS with one black wheel while the other three are chrome. I still have the C7 carded but not the DBS. I think I might un card the civic.
 
Love that Civic, but it has some of the worst placed tampo jobs.
Oh come ON. You are impossibly lucky. Screw you :lol: that's awesome!
I'm so glad. I thought I was gonna have to part that thing out eventually. :lol:
 
Pics of those BMW 2002 and Porsche Boxster errors?
In a bit, not home atm. Just imagine the BMW's with backward windows. :P And the Boxters, one is missing the windshield and both have the tampos at the very bottom of the door, almost slid all the way off.

He found the missing grille, and it is being shipped out with the Super Treasure Hunt Chevelle. Better late than never & I am happy. :lol:👍

What an awfully nice person. Big thumbs up for that. 👍
 
I saw that yellow Challenger for the first time, Friday. Very nice. 👍

Oh, he's the best. He's also responsible for my loose car collection growing by what feels like about a thousand percent. :dopey:
 
Well went to Wal Mart Friday and got that slightly lighter variant of the Infiniti G37, along with a COPO Corvette and a RD-09 with it.

To my surprise it was still there where I left it. :D I usually don't go this far when I am low in cash but I am somehow obsessed with that Infiniti and I just couldn't resist it! :dopey: (Yes my spending habits are bad) Lucky for me I got to do a brief comparison just to make sure it was the one I was looking for. :D I don't why but I get this "eerie" feeling when I look at this lighter variant compared to the other one, it somehow strikes me as "ghostly". :odd:

Usually when they paint the lights and grill on Hot Wheels, they almost always are off slightly (sometimes worse) but this Infiniti is actually perfectly proportioned for once, hardly any visible imperfections at all that I can see. It's not everyday I find castings this well done. Will upload high quality comparison shots later. ;)


Who the hell finds a Super when they're going to buy a loaf of bread. :crazy: :lol: Lucky.
In that case, I should buy more bread! :lol:

I went to Kmart to get a new watch battery, which I did, and looked at the cars to blow off a bit of steam. I got an Austin Taxi, Porsche 911 Cabrio, and a Conrail blue Shelby Mustang.

Not today's finds, but I got a Pierce Dash Fire Engine and a lifted Chevy truck from a dollar store.

Obviously, all are Matchboxes. :)

Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of a former AcceleRacer!

Well thank you! :) :lol:

I don't know much about them AcceleRacers, but last I remember all there cars where fantasy cars. Seeing how the Infiniti and the Corvette aren't fantasy cars, I assume your referring to the RD-09? :sly:
 
Okay guys, I need some help. Is the no window piece on the Dune Dog an error? Is the Hummer hard to find?

Dune Dogs have windows normally. That would indeed be an error. Great find! +rep.

The Hummer isn't hard to find, because Hummers are blehhhhh! -rep.

2009 Dream Garage 5-Pack Aston Martin V8 Vantage

Had a crummy previous owner. He can go burn in hell. :P

First of all, thank you. :)

Second, time to find a new Dune Dog then. :indiff:

Sounds like he's a enabler too just like that certain nephew of yours. J/k :P :sly:

Edit: can get better pics if anyone is interested. These are just quick shots because I'm pleased. Well I will be unless Cano comments on it about how they're trash that doesn't conform to his taste.
 
@R1600Turbo - Potentially bad news for you in regards to the AmiAmi preorder: Did you catch that IDx Freeflow & NISMO are being released month apart? That's two separate shipping to already (somewhat)high prices for the cars.

I have a car preordered from them due this month, so I was looking for another car to add to the order. That's when I noticed two IDx's are being released separately. :crazy:

Nice. 👍 I just want one car from the series(McCoy's Airflow), but all those cards are so cool!

He doesn't hook me up with jack squat..... though I have swindled a car or two from him in the past. :D
