Cars that only YOU seem to like
I find myself in a small minority when it comes to Hot Wheels collecting, as I tend to pick up mostly fantasy/original design castings. I've noticed on a couple of other forums that they're not the most popular, and tend to get a lot of hate. I suppose that just makes it a bit easier to find what I want on the peg (lol). Anyway, I've noticed that even though the original designs don't get the most love, even the haters seem to have at least 1 fantasy casting they like to collect.
Just curious what that one car you may be collecting is, that makes everyone else ask "why?"
Without a doubt, for me, it's the Arachnorod...

This is the one I like "The Carbonator"it's sharp, it's well made and it opens beers.......
This picture is off the net because it's freaking cold to go digging thru boxes out in the storage shed, but it looks just like this one................
My two favroites are Nerve Hammers and Dieselboys. Im not sure how much love they really get from other collectors.
There are quite a few I like that others don't, although the one that people probably hate the most that I like is Hyper Mite
I would have to agree with you K and O......the only time I ever picked one up was to see if there was something good under it.

I agree, to give the bent cards Hypers away at events I look for small kids, they seem to feel a kinship with "mites"...
I don't know that anyone particularly hates this casting, but my favorite fantasy style care is the Retro Active. I have 5 different color combinations now and two extra green ones still.
I also like (and have) the Arachnorod on the right - you do know it glows in the dark as well? I have about a half a dozen glow in the dark cars as well.
It doesn't corner very well, kind of like the "Reliant Robin"..........
Have you seen the Top Gear episode on that car?

I keep trying to find a decent Nerve Hammer out on the peg. Everyone I seem to find has bad tampos and other visible QC issues. Nice casting , though, and I think it would make an interesting companion piece to my Drift Rods.
