Cars that only YOU seem to like
How about zowees? I think they are great but don't hear too much about them. Getting back the childhood set I had. Beddy Bye, Diablo, and Deperado. "Badges?! We don't need no stinking badges!"
- Dude, I haven't even SEEN any of these before. — SpyDude
- Hey Spydude, they originally came out in 1972 as a promo for Shell gas. There were 8 in the promo but they were so popular they came out with a retail set with several more in the lineup. I remember asking my mom for one every time she needed gas. — Sunshine_City_Garage
I'm a big fan of Muscle Bound. I think it's fairly underrated as a casting. Haven't had a chance to try it on the track though.
The Twang Thang. One of my favorites as a kid and still I'd never harvest wheels from one. Just feels wrong. It was long discontinued by the time I realized it was a bass and not a guitar.
I'm pretty well known for sniping all the Shadow Jets I come across on WhatNot and at diecast shows. I've always been a huge fan of this car since I'm was a kid, it just so happens this is a pretty fast car in diecast racing. I have a pretty extensive collection of them, somwehere around 250 combined carded/loose.
- That's a commitment to one casting. Wow....250! And if I haven't said something already.....welcome to RedlineDerby! — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- I've heard that this can be fast. I own only one myself — ManiacMotorsports
I was just mentioning this casting in another thread, but love the Catapult and mainly the ones produced in the 90's a metal/metal little monster with loads of Modifying potential.
My guilty pleasure casting would be the Mazda Miata from '91.
It's scuffed proportions-wise (especially if you put it alongside the newer Ryu Asada design), but every single release of it is metal on metal! Don't know if it's raceable though, most of the time the wheels poke out of the arches.
Maybe it's the special 90s HW charm, since I already have a small collection of them, 7-8 cars if I'm not mistaken.
I do have a couple for this list. The Ford van was a major peg warmer in my area and I'm a sucker for Corvettes, even the plastic ones. I like them both.
