Greg Myers Posted August 8, 2016 Author Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) I guess what I'm talking about is their made up caricature cars. Edited August 8, 2016 by Greg Myers
SfanGoch Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Drag racing and the cars aren't popular with kids today as they were in the '60s and '70s. I went through the Hot Wheels site and there isn't one dragster/funny car listed.
Daddyfink Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Quite honestly, I think most of them look really goofy. I have been buying the more normal, real car, type stuff, especially the specialty stuff like this
slusher Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 I Picked up a couple these when they came out at Walmart and red lines also. Very nice street rod...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Damaged-Card-64-CHEVY-NOVA-STATION-WAGON-2016-Hot-Wheels-Heritage-w-Redline-/222081929538?hash=item33b51d5142:g:NHUAAOSwAvJXCrCK
peteski Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 As new generations come of age, things change. We're just getting old. I remember saying to myself that the battle was lost when in the '90s I started seeing pedestrian 4-door Japanese or German sedans souped-up to look and sound like race cars! Lowered suspension, beer-can exhaust, etc. High-performance 4-door sedan? Gimme a break! At least some car companies recently brought back some real muscle cars and made them look like the real muscle cars from the '60s. But they probably doing it just to cater to the older generation (with money).
SfanGoch Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 A guy (26 years old) I know, who operates a tobacco shop here, had a souped up rice burner with all of the goofy looking accoutrements.. He recently sold it because he bought a 1970 Dodge Charger I showed him online. He has seen the light. Alleluiah!
