I’ve been reminiscing a lot lately about all the cool old cars I used to have growing up. So much so that just a few weeks ago I detailed Five of My Favorite Hot Wheels Toys.

Oh, nice! I think I had a few of these as a kid, though they might have been reissued here. By this point, I think I was more into He-Man and Transformers.
