Hotwheels have always been cool, but somewhere after the time I stopped playing with them they started making some awesome tracks. I had some track pieces when I was a little boy, but nothing that was as cool as what they make now. As far as I know there was nothing motorized available and although the loops were around, I do not remember them actually working very well. Well he has a loop and it works awesome, except for the fact that it is rubber-band wound up and therefore only works one time before needing to be re-wound. Which is ultimately the problem, he does not understand how to get it prepared for a car. He doesn't have anything motorized, but after playing with what he does have for a while, we went to the website and I saw some cool tracks that I would love to play with!
I am starting to wonder if I have any of my track pieces left, I know exactly where I last stored them. I may have decided to throw them away though. Also wondering if I still have some hotwheels from when I started "collecting" them. I know I gave some to my other nephew for Christmas a few years ago.
I may have to start collecting track pieces and one day build one of the world's largest automated hotwheels tracks. How awesome would it be to come home to the sound of hotwheels racing around the track, one that reaches two stories high? I actually did go to a Goodwill today looking for track pieces, but they only had city pieces. I thought about it, but ultimately could not settle for anything less than track pieces. I did pick up a pair of hotwheels Ford Mustang '92 and '13 from Wal-mart; I probably still do have two more Ford Mustang hotwheels cars somewhere, no matter what has happened with the rest of my collection I am certain I did not get rid of those.
Well I think it is time for me to get back to it.
P.S. for those that may have never played with cars before vroom vroom is the sound a car makes when shifting gears erhmmmm is accelerating or cruising at top gear and ahrrrrrr errrr is squealing brakes and finally kush kiih is shattering glass/crashing.
Vroom vroooom vrooooooom.
Hmmm. Vroom vroom can also be revving the engine.
Update 1/4/2012: I have since been to several stores to see if I could find the awesome wall track I saw on hotwheels.com, Mid-Air Madness, no luck; however, I did manage to find two more Ford Mustangs and I grabbed 3 cars from the HW Racing collection that are supposedly "great for tracks". But wait, I am not finished I also found a loop that I initially thought would go good with my nephews wall tracks, although I am beginning to have second thoughts, not sure if I want to share! I also did not mention that I initially bought a wall track and a hotwheels garage with a drag strip on top for my nephew for Christmas, but since he had so many more toys than his older sister's coming to him already, I did not give him the wall track and I have been toying with the idea of keeping it for myself or to give to one of my other nephews eventually. I was playing with my nephews toys while he was out of town, trying to decide if I wanted to open up my toys and build a bigger track, I decided against that, but took a picture of my toys to share.
