Cars I sent that never came back...
I have sent cars out to lots of places... many of them are returned promptly and it is very much appreciated. I have quite a few that are missing in action... if any of you hosts see these in your inventory, let me know. I will provide an address as I already most likely provided return postage...
Sadly there are others I don't have pictures of but these few I do...

I got a couple back with my posts recently but still have a few out there with no response from the hosts.

- a number of hosts have been absent for a couple months — dr_dodge
- Did you delete your post with the 'Dude Where's My Car?" movie poster? — BadWoolRacing
- Yes.....because I got my car back. — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
I know that Rubber Tow still has a bunch of mine over at Monster Motorsports..... still trying to get those back, but he hasn't been responsive to emails or messages. I doubt I'll get the cars back, but there's still a little hope left.
Enoch El still has my Deora from The Chase over three years ago. I know I'll never see that one again.
I'm missing a Syclone roadster pickup I sent to Uncle Joe's Speedway a while back.
Generally nowadays, as soon as the car hits the mailbox, I consider it gone. Makes it easier to deal with. At that point, cars being returned is a bonus.
- I believe that Uncle Joe's Speedway passed away a few years ago... I read it on an old post — ManiacMotorsports
- He did, yes. I believe his son still has the cars from the last race. — SpyDude
That's a lot of cars that you didn't get back! I have a 1-3 that I know of. One from a few years ago that I think is gone for good. The others are more recent and I hope to get the back. I don't have pictures of them all though. Very frustrating. I hope you get them back at some point.
It's the sending return shipping money that hurts (from my perspective since I'm in Canada) seeing it's even more of a financial hit...but I've got a large number of entries that I've come to the conclusion I will never see again...even with return postage money sent...the ones that suck the most (anything sent to a Meekin Sponsored Race) are the ones that I either had a podium, or in fact won! It's been years, and even though there was prizes on the line and listed for winners...bupkis
- I feel your pain. I also have one missing from a Meekin sponsored race from a few years ago. — johnson9195
- What is a Meekin? — HSLmotorsports
- @HSL: Merch by Meekin, one of the race sponsors we had for a while. They apparently folded shop and disappeared, along with the cars entrusted to them. — SpyDude
- Thing is…I was in contact with Meekin…had an understanding with Meekin…and he just never honoured his end of things… — Crazy_Canuck
- I somehow got my cars back from Meekin after two years but it took a lot of effort on my end to get him to comply — BlueLineRacing
There was some I sent years ago, during covid and before I took the job that forced me to go into a 2-year hiatus from building cars, I know i'll never see again. I'd just like to run them against some of my cars now to see how far I've gotten from then.
My very first race car, which was an absolute dead last disaster, was stolen. ShannonBR never sent it back, even after promising it would be shipped back. As terrible as the car did in the race It would be nice to have my first ever build back but I doubt that will come about.
Diecast Dude and Marcus Firegone, return my cars please
- I’m assuming Diecast Dude is dead…every opportunity made by multiple individuals to contact him have failed…he simply ceases to exist now…Marcus’s life is messed up right now…dunno what’s gonna happen with those cars — Crazy_Canuck
- I hope nobody is dead. I guess anything is possible. If they’re alive a simple post here would’ve been appropriate. Common courtesy, it’s not that my life is going to change either way but it’s the principle. — BlueLineRacing
- I agree — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- I got lost cars at both places, too — dr_dodge
- Agreed, please return our cars.... it's the money that's the biting principal. If a host cannot communicate why they're not racing or sending cars back, that is a major red flag. — G_ForceRacing
Fred, I have multiple items including your Runt Bison that will be heading your way after the El Camino Beano finals.
There is one host with several pounds of my cars with return postage paid. Never returned.
That is exactly why I very, VERY, rarely pay return shipping. Once I mail it, it is donated
- Yeah, I get that but the cars I like that I work hard with custom decals and such I would like to pass along to my nephews kids... — Stoopid_Fish_Racing
I'm still waiting for my cars back from MCR
- MCR (Kareem) is recovering after major surgery. He is getting back into the racing action, so I'm sure you could ping him. — GravityThrottleRacing
- I did not know that. Thank you! — Zizzer_Prime
- That's probably a good reason why he hasn't been around lately ..... — SpyDude
Fingers crossed for a swift resolution! So many links in this chain of sending/returning entries even under the best circumstances
