Hot Wheels

Besides a screen filled with colors and action, our childhood was filled with all types of competition, like seeing who makes the coolest Yo-yo tricks on the block. Besides walking the dog and going around the world, though, we also loved to race and see who the fastest runner was among our friends. Now, speaking of races, before we’ve learned about gas pedals, clutches, and brakes, it’s safe to say we already developed a love for cool cars, thanks to these Hot Wheels toy cars.

Along with imagining ourselves driving these small-scale beauties, they also had all kinds of fun tracks that were sold separately. Because of this, they’re kind of like the Tamiya cars we saw a few pages back. Plus, many Hot Wheels models have also become sought-after collector’s items.
