So I figured, instead of cluttering up the forum with lots of threads, we can just have one thread which we keep adding too.

Any new cars you have picked up recently and want to share, post them here!

Ill go first.

So I found some AWESOME cars this weekend... and the two of the cars I was most looking forward to racing... ended up being complete duds. : / These cars being the "Gold Medal Speed" Ferrari Testarossa and this ridiculous fluorescent orange GT Racer. lol Both of these cars had wheels which barely moved. It was quite disappointed, especially since i've been looking for the Ferrari for awhile.

However! On that note, I did also pick-up some other great cars. I finally found a Cadillac V-16 (Bling wheels) and I have to say, that the impressive reputation this car has about it being one of the fastest track cars... is very accurate. This thing FLYs down the track. It has such a smooth ride too. My high expectations were exceeded... truly amazing car!

Other cars I picked up were a Straight Pipes FTE (Very good looking car, I like it!), Sweet 16 (A lot of tracks had one of these, so I definitely needed to pick one up), Pontiac Banshee (Nice car, faster then I expected!), Ford GT-40 and a Dodge Concept Car (Which I already have a lot of, but I couldn't resist. I really liked the paint scheme on this one... and I just like the styling a lot too. haha)

So anyway! Good stuff.

Sorry to hear, WorpeX. I hate duds. I found 3 unopened "Gold Metal Speed" Ferraris in my collection today and opening funny car so I was able to quickly loosen them from above. I'm hoping it will "break-in" with some repeated runs down the track.

And I'm still looking for my 1st Cadillac V16...glad that you're happy with yours.

I'll have to do kid sizes soon too, just so my own can have one! And that has to be one the happiest kids I've ever seen. Good to finally put some faces to names, my friend.

Love that Speed Racer car too..and a Land Rover, you know that thing can haul. Wonder how that Buick Stocker will do...? I think I have one of those that I got in Nashville, it's a promo car but it's all metal and more loose than the Chevy Stocker so it might do better.

Mines not bad... but also not good. It's one of those filler cars for tournaments that you know it'll never win, but you also still know that it will put up a fight! http://worpex.net/player_stats.php?playerID=16

Nice finds JDC! I have that exact Chevy Flashsider and it is INSANELY fast. (This one: http://worpex.net/player_stats.php?playerID=61)

I sooooo want one of those Land Rovers, especially before November 12th as my youngest son is just barley in the lead for the truck division in our league races---with just one race to go. I want to try one of these to see if it will clinch it for him. But man, they keep going for way to much on E-Bay. $9.00 and Im not spending that much on one of those.

Its my last must have car to race that I dont have yet.

For those buick stockers, I think the wheels stick out to far to really be a good race car.

Nice haul! Great looking shirt, too.

Just let me know when the ADD shirts are finished and I'll be inline for one.
I've done a couple of Texas Diecast Racing shirts but have been thinking of doing more.

Here's a couple of my recent finds.

Is that the highly acclaimed black w/ flames Camaro?

Where'd you find so many Rescue Rangers?

Yes it is! I got another back up......

One of the club guys had a bunch sitting out so I picked up all of them. Not bad for 50 cents each!
