I just feel the urge every time i check to see if i can find a new johnny lightning or hot wheel ever time i am out does any one else have that problem. I must have over 100 mopar cars now lol
 
You're not alone. I started buying hot wheels for my granson,and would'nt you know it,I ended up buying them for me too. Don't know how many I have. Just how many will 2 grocery sacks hold. (Paper,not plastic)?
 
I'm the same way. I have 60 or so of them now. I take them out of the package so I can push them around and proudly display them in my office.
 
does 300 plus count as addiction? the m2 machines are nice too. not all of mine are mopars tho. they are harder to find than lower species. my wife insists they live behind glass because she won't dust them. got 4 cases so far. danbury mint cars are really detailed but got the price tag to go with it. oh, & i have about a dozen original hot wheels, bought new. i'm 56 so they're 40 plus.
 
Ya not all of mine are mopar I started collecting hot wheels 10 yrs ago lol and most of them aren't opened maybe someday they will be worth something
 
Not all of mine are Hot Wheels but I have a little over 15,000 cars. They go all the way back to the 50's and includes a 1969 J.C. Penney slot car track with cars still in the box. I'm 43 and have tried to hang on to all of mine over the years. I will post some pics later today.
 
Everytime I go to Walmart I look for mopar cars, under the guise that they are for my 4 yr old hehehe. We prolyy have about 250 mostly mopars or cars the kids like. BTW hot wheels has a mopar 5 pack thats got some cool cars in it.
 
Any duster hotwheels I see I buy and any time I find a 1:24 scale diecast duster I buy them.......because they are few and far between where I am and when they hit the shelves they don't last long.

right now I have 3 1:24 scale johnny lightning dusters still in the box, one is plum crazy purple with white stripes and blacked out hood with black vinyl top and 340 wedge treatment.

a green one that has the same scheme but black 340 stripes instead of the white.

and a panther pink one with black 340 wedge hood and black 340 stripes.

as for my hotwheels I have a vintage racing sox and martin duster, a hot wheels drag star yellow thruster duster,an english leather duster drag car and a black and white crower duster.
 
Just gen 2 barracudas and a couple of 66/67 chargers someone here sold me a Hurst gen 2 with the Linda Vaughn trading card still in the origional package woohoo hubba hubba
 
Ok guys here is part of my sickness. Not all Mopars, but they do make up a large part of it.
