Show your Favorite HotWheels!
I know I cannot be the only one who collects HotWheels here.. with a collection of over 100 it is hard to chose but I definitely have some favorites. What is your favorite hotwheels and why?

Take about five minutes for this thread to get moved to off topic or something.
Anyway, I'll post some pics in a minute. I haven't added to the collection in forever. In fact I was pricing them earlier this evening to see about selling them. But, there is no market for them it looks like. But my thing is Ferraris. Lots of them. About 1000 I think. And this is dead serious, I think at one point they were worth around $15,000, and now I'd lean more towards $1500.

Last count was over 3600 3 years ago. I buy 3 just about everytime I go to a store that sells them . I just bought a 2 COPO's a C7 and an Elrancho. I think my faves are an 86 IROC because I had one and only found the Hotwheels version last year. Also the Batmobile because it's the frickin' Batmobile lol.

Rockhead, I saw that IROC and picked one up too. Thought it was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen. I think my favorite all time is a Cobra I got when I was a kid. So it'd be from early to mid 80's. I liked it because the hood opened. I played with it of course and the windshield came off. So about a 10 or 12 years ago about a donor car and replaced the windshield.
Just found a few random boxes, must mean there's two or three bigger boxes out in my truck. Just finishing up a move. Couple 'Maros in this one. Some of my Ferraris and other random stuff. I guess I forgot that sometimes I would just see something cool and pick up up. Plus, I didn't myself on Ferraris until a couple of years in. I may be inspired, then again maybe not. But I've got an empty bedroom right now. I might just spread the lot out for a pic in couple of weeks.

At current count I have about 50+ unique 5th gen Camaro Hot wheels. I'm always on the hunt for them. Every so often I hit up ebay and see if there are any that slipped by me.

I've found probably 10, but I quit collecting by then. So most of them go to my niece and nephew. Found one of the '14 COPO's that came out this year. It said it had a 4 cylinder engine, anyway. That was a stocking stuffer for one of the kids. Cool because it has the skinny wheels up front. I think someone mentioned that already though.

I have a pretty good collection. A lot of really old ones that were passed down to me from my dad, since he collected them too.
My favorite one has to be my most recent purchase: 1958 Edsel.

Well good luck to selling them. From my initial looking, there just doesn't seem to be a market right now.
