I love that this whole post sums up just how committed Smitty is to modding.

I don't even want to know how many "special" cars I had opened and demolished in the past because I just wasn't paying attention. Doesn't matter much now...it brought joy to me regardless, but still fun to think about.

First editions aren't too special. Don't feel guilty modding them. Now, if it was a rare wheel variation or some other variation, that's a crime when you take one of those out of the package!


  • i wasn't modding them, i've been giving them to kids everywhere i go 1 cars per stop, bank, etc. — model40fan
  • i cut the cards so a collector doesn't intervene and they get played with. — model40fan
  • Aaahhh, I see. — KandORacing
  • Interesting. Something as simple as cutting the card thwarts collectors. — redlinederby
  • yup, lots of folks collect cardboard... — Traction-Event
  • Well, they're always better on the card. Unless if you're racing.... — KandORacing

How about a 1998 FE of the Dodge Caravan?
