Re: The world has gone completely insane

Regarding the redline Hotwheels Mustang that sold for over $20,000.00. That
car is one of the "holy grails" in Hotwheels collecting circles. I dabble a
bit collecting these and in late 1999, a single Hotwheels car (from 1969) sold
for slightly over $70,000.00!

There was a big debate on a Hotwheels collecting board whether it is better
to spend $20k on the Hotwheels car or a real classic Mustang.... and some of
the Hotwheels collectors actually said they would rather get the
Hotwheels.....!?!

IMHO, no property taxes, no registration fees, no gas, no oil, no sound of solid lifters, no smell of burning fossil fuel....no fun!
Regards, Stan

But Stan, no accidents, no arguing with the first born about borrowing the car, no insurance hikes and who cares about the cost of gasoline?
And you can play with it regardless of weather as well.
Just a thought.
