Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

:shock: I love the muscle car collection, especially cause it has a Gremlin X. :)

Nobody else with even a few? I would have thought CRT, Hashiraya, or Scooter would have some.

Well these pics are gonna fill up a page, and this is just some NASCAR/Stock Car stuff. I haven't even gotten into the muscle cars or cartoon cars.

All of the stock cars I could find.

That Kurt Busch 97 went through hell and back, but I love it because it was one of the last gifts my grandfather gave to me, so I'm happy with it regardless.

Sorry for epic wall of pics.

I had such a sweet Ferrari collection a few years ago. I hate my asshole dad for giving it all away.

A little much Nascar for my taste, but it is certainly a focused collection. :) I like the #1 racing truck in the bottom left and the red Daytona Superbird. What about the others on the table to the side though? I see a 55 or 57 chevy, a tan monster beetle, a 280Z, and some truck over there.

@Jrecee

I figured you'd have a Challenger collection too. The Javelin and Dart are pretty cool as well.

I still have to sort through them, I have a ten gallon box filled to the top with these cars so it'll take a while to sort through but I'll try to get some pics up this weekend. :)

Can we include big car toys?

My collection a small, but unlike video games I keep these sealed. The large blue toy is a 1964 Impala from a gas station promo. For some reason I like the 1962 Impala miniatures. :D

The Car Craft souvenirs are from years ago when Car Craft Magazine used to sponsor an annual show in L.A. I really miss those cruising days, was a blast participating. I didn't enter the slalom course with my big car, but the blind driver light the tires and then guesstimate stop at the cones was hilarious.

My wife's friend's husband is a Hot Wheels nut. Their walls are covered floor to ceiling with cars in packages. Looks like wall paper from the distance. The cars are even in the bedrooms all the way to the floor behind the headboard. I'll try to dig up a pic later. The small red 1957 Chevrolet is from a Lucky Charms mail in coupon. My friend is so nuts on hot wheels, right away knew the value, stated it was worth 15 bucks, then flipped his price guide to prove the price. That mail coupon acquired '57 probably worth more now.

I doubt the Model As and Ts I have bagged are worth much since even I ended up with a ton of them. The only 2 cars I have a vague idea of their possible value are the Mercedes C-111 and Porsche 917 since they were expensive for me to get nice 30 year old ones. I'm not too worried about the values, though I would be curious of your friend's opinion of my collection. :lol:

Just 62 Impalas though, other than the 57? Or would your car get jealous?

I have a crapload of Choro-Qs and Tomicas. Over 100, some of them collector's items. They're all in storage, so it is too much trouble to take pics. Maybe I can post pics if I am ever up to it. It's too bad Choro-Q video games are complete crap. :(

These are what Choro-Q's are to those who don't know. They are very detailed for what they are.
