Hot Wheels So Fine (N9059) - from 2009 Larry's Garage series (15 of 20)

Another version of Hot Wheels' So Fine casting - this time from the premium series Larry's Garage. The model is a modified 1951 Buick. The two tone paint is well done, but is a disappointment. The flat rust looks like primer to me, so the car feels unfinished. The wheels look good for this casting and the chrome grill really give it a menacing look.

Hot Wheels Hi-Roller - 2016 new model (118/250)

Although this isn't based on a real car, I find myself really liking this new casting from Hot Wheels. Here in all its glory is the new model for 2016, the Hi-Roller (DHP09). From the HW Showroom segment, it's 8 of 10. It is 118 out of 250 mainline models for 2016. From the card back: "Specialty: With a long body and classi lines, this luxury hi-boy coupe was made for rollin' down the boulevard in style."

Hot Wheels Bizarro

 I've recently leaped into collecting Hot Wheels. Another childhood toy that I remember fondly. Spent many hours building highways out of blocks or roads in the front flowerbeds. While I have some vintage pieces, I'm happy to collect newer toys. This is the Hot Wheels Bizarro.

From the box: "The Bizarro fuses the best design concepts of the '50s with custom touches such as exposed headers, cool cockpit and radical roll bar. This classic cruiser is a blast from the past with Larry Wood's special touch of class."
