classic car

I got twenty-some presents this year for Christmas, and more than 3/4 of them had to do with cars. In total, I recieved two books, seven die-casts (3 were 1/18 scale, the others were Johnny Lightning), a '63 Corvette split window phone, a wall-mounted 50's 'vette carving, a steering wheel/pedal assembly for my dreams of driving Ferraris being realeased in GranTurismo 4 for PS2, and other things I can't remember because I'm enjoying NC sun right now as opposed to sub-zero temps back home. My desk is now overflowing with over 60 die-cast replicas and rods, and my new ones from Christmas are as follows:

A new Hot Wheels Speedster (basically a hot rodded Auburn), 2005 Chevy SSR, a '77 Pacer, a '65 GTO, an '05 Ford GT Supercar, an excruciatingly detailed '06 Challenger conept (which led to the production version), and a Porsche Carrera Targa.

All in all, I love my die-cast cars and hope to keep collecting them until (and after) I get a project car to restore.

P.S. If a so-called "Porsche Specialist" looks under the hood to check out an engine problem, you may need to think about a new mechanic. Get it? Think about it if you don't; You'll eventually figure it out.
