I don't remember any specific cars, but when I was a kid I had the Hot Wheels Loop-de-Loop track, which was a cool thing for a kid to have back then.

The loop-de-loop track was cool.

My cousin had something really cool, Hot Wheels-wise.

It was a Hot Wheels Pit Stop that connected onto a large oval track. The idea was the Hot Wheels went in one end and two spinning rubber deals inside would shoot 'em out the other end at a very high speed. A bit lame when used as intended, but it made a GREAT Hot Wheels cannon!

I think I had the "Universal Monsters" Johnny Lightning collection. Dracula and Frankenstein.

I remember some back in the late 70's some that looked like rockets and some with HUGE v8 engines.

Here's K.I.T.T.

Holy crap . . . I think I had this too!  Thanks for bringing back such a fond memory!  I seem to remember putting things other than the cars into the thing to make them shoot out.

I have a small collection of Hot Wheels...I keep most of them in a Christmas cookie tin. Some I display on my book shelf.I got some Johnny Lightning too.

When I was a kid-I had tons of em. And a big Hot Wheels suitcase thingy to hold some of them. Id pretend GI Joe was a radio active mutant (cuz his "life like hair was falling out-kinda patchy) and he would attack Hot Wheels and plastic soldiers.Never mind that the soldiers wer way to big to fit in the cars. I was 8 years old. This was my favorite Hot Wheel then-


The Red Baron! Cool car modifier and artist Barris designed this.

The favorites I own now...
The BAT MOBILE! Sits next to a 3 inch high rubber Batman toy from the 70's on me bookshelf/china cabient. (well-its a china cabient I use for books and cool collectibles).



Got this one too-It's a s**tter car! You can take a dump and drive at the same time! Groovy!

There was a South African movie called Kiepie & Kandas which featured a custom built Volkswagen which had toilets instead of seats and that VW is still chugging away at the University of Pretoria today.  Smile

I loved the Red Baron. It was probably my favorite Hot Wheels car. Today it's probably buried somewhere in my back yard or rusting in an empty lot somewhere.

There were so many cool cars. Here are a few of my other favorites.

I was into these.  I liked the Batman ones.  I wish I'd held onto them.

 I also had one of those: very nice and I see toy shops here stock them too now.  Thumbup
