Gonna miss the content man, always looked forward to your level headed approach to things. Some of the other HW youtubers are to extra for me. Cant wait to see that 1:1 scale.
I've sold my entire collection numerous times and then a few years later i get that itch back and begin recollecting some of my faves. If it's in your heart you will be back. Just a stepping stone in life. I wish you nothing but the best and believe you will be presently surprised at the relief you will have. Thanks for all the content and I'm looking forward to your future content.
You’re absolutely right! Each time it gets more expensive because everything I had gone up in price… it’s my 5th time leaving the hobby and going back this time I’m staying and mainly collecting loose conventions and some rlc and maybe my top few favorite carded castings
Been a joy to watch this portion of your collecting journey, and I’ll stick around for whatever you do going forwards. I’d love to cash in my collection to remove the burden of storing it and to put that cash towards something greater, like the “1:1 scale” you’re looking into. I can see why you’d take the 9.8K, definitely convenient to sell it all to one buyer. Best of luck to you and your family, you’re easy to root for my guy. 🧡
15 years ago I let my grandson open all my hot wheels toys I had from a child he's 16 now and Im 56 you can imagine what I had to me they were just toys he had a blast with them and so did I good times were made
Life takes priority and its good you have the strength to do that. I would not be able to and I hope I will not be forced by circumstances in the future to sell my collection!
Great video and I totally get why. You’re never going to get the full retail price selling in bulk as compared to selling individually. Plus then factor in your time to do individual sales, it think it was a fair deal for both of you. I’ve sold off a good portion of my collection this year too. It’s a way to continue as a collector without getting bogged down hoarding the past.
hey I fully support you and congratzz on the new job title, May you have alot of success! Best wishes for the family matters also and I hope that all will be good. Apart of the wishes I think you really really sold your collection cheaper but I also understand that maybe you needed cash urgently and hopefully what you plan to buy from the cash is of higher value :) I will also love to see your 1:1 car and I wish you say the word Supra!! :P lol
As long as you and the buyer agree on a price. It’s your call. No judgment here. Really do enjoy your channel. Hope things w the family workout. What kind of sports car did you get? I finally got my Mustang GT/CS a few years back. Love it! I’m getting more into custom work on hot wheels. Although I’m starting to find more interest in the vintage lines from the late 60s and the 70s. Cars from when I was a kid. Stay safe! Happy for you.
I could never sell my collection...parts of it maybe, but the whole dang thing, nah! As a collector since 1977 and a diorama builder since about 2009 it would be very difficult for me to do. I'm planning on leaving my collection to a homie and his sons when i pass! He doesn't know that though.
Good luck with your future and look forward to you building your collection back up with all the exciting new castings that Hot Wheels bring out each year, I do hope I never have to go through this situation, but you never know what life brings from day to day and year by year, I to have a pretty large collection, around 4000 pieces, all stored in containers unfortunately as nowhere to display, but i hope to do it one day
It’s sad for all of your cars to go but, it’s what we collectors will have to do some day. Love your channel, and will love even more for your collection to build back up.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😀👊
$9800 is a fair price for both the buyer and seller. When an entire collection is sold at once, of course it would be less than if sold one at a time. However, the amount of time and labor involved in selling a collection this size is daunting. In my opinion, better to do what you did. We collect because we enjoy the hunt and like the cars. These cars are a lot like jewelry for us collectors. You got a fair deal.
Really surprised you settled for less than 5 figures, but then again if it's going towards a full scale fun car it's a good way to absorb some of the cost. Can't wait to see what you picked up!
9,800 seems pretty low, I would've paid that lol but if it's something you are happy with that's all that matters. Can't wait to see the 1:1 scale you choose.
You have got to be kidding. You only got $9800 for your collection?!? This coming from the person who focuses on how much everything is worth. You sold everything for 1/3 of your collections real value?!? This makes no sense. So either HWs aren't really worth that much... or your wife told you to sell everything ASAP... or she was leaving. And all this coming from the guy who has a channel whose sole focus was on the "value" of his collection. Very ironic.
Definitely not getting top of market pricing, but as with any lot sale there has to be incentive to buying. So gotta take that into account… On top of that…Life happens and I addressed that. This wasn’t the ideal situation but was what works out the best 👍 Also this is closer to 2/3 the value of my collection ($10k/$15k)
It’s exactly because diecast cars, especially hotwheels, aren’t worth as much as these walnuts think. There’s no investment. There’s no portfolio. It’s toy cars that are made in the hundreds of thousands and millions. This whole channel has been nothing but a circle jerk of “iTs jDm BrO” acting like the little $1 car they got is going to pay dividends. Yes, there are pieces that command prices, but this dude had a whole box of mainline 22bs thinking it’s gonna be worth anything. With any market, this is considered a straight loss. Even if they for 1/1 the price of their collection it’s still breaking even, and that didn’t even happen. This channel really had dipheads going to the store thinking they’re gonna win the lottery lmfao
They really don't change in price with cardboard only worth what you'll pay like that why I will open some mine time to time and just display I don't think I ever sell em I leave that for my daughter
Ouch! Congrats on the great life wins. I stopped hunting for sometime and didn’t purge.I should have but glad I didn’t. The value is insane now. Hope to see a few post every once and a while. I’ll make sure to collect a few JDM for you when you are ready to get back into it
You built up one awesome collection man! I wish I could've done the same but I understand where things change to where you have to let go of things. I remember loosing my itch in 2021 after having a rough year and then got back in the swing in 2022 and beyond and I'm having the most fun I've ever had in the hobby but congrats on your new job title.
Happy for the successful changes coming soon for you and family. Good luck. Sad to see all these great cars go. Looking forward to your next video soon. 😢😊
I've been collecting since the early 2000s and have sold my collections a few times already, but doing the "real car" hobby is the true "money pit" and $$$$ goes by quick with real cars, I've been building Ae86 corollas since the early 2000s too and i usually pick up the HW collecting on and off to give myself a break from the Ae86 life, cuz it takes your money, time and patience lol...but good luck bro, do what make you happy 👍
I always tell those who question my hobby (especially my kids and wife): Hot Wheels is money in the bank. I'm not saying necessarily profit. I am saying that, in the end, you can get as minimum, as much as you invested in the hobby, if you maintain a careful balance of subjects (curating), mint quality, packaging and continuity (amount of years collecting). Money that you didn't spend on Hot Wheels, you could have end up wasting it on whatnot (booze, partying, useless stuff and gadgets that you can't resell, etc.). Now that money is in your collecting room waiting for you to convert it to cash whenever you need it, as you now, and many others have proven. So, congrats on your sale, enjoy life and always discover new hobbies that excite you and your family.
I met this collector who's cousin collected as well, he hit a low & sold his lot for 15k. That's what I was told, I can't account for the story but if that's true, that's crazy. & I think you were definitely fair overall. You could've asked for more but I think it was good. Then again I'm new to this so what do I know lol
I feel like I need a reboot I’m collecting but at the same time I might not be able to part away with certain things such as supers, convention cars, or RLC that I’ve gotten for a killer price. But I’ve been purging like crazy
According to my numbers setting away the money wall you're getting approximately $1.45 per car on all the others...in my opinion not a good deal...but sometimes we have to take tough decisions, I've been in that position also... good luck and enjoy your new ride!!!
I know 😭 Lot deals are always heavily discounted. And I’m sure the buyer will be twice as appreciative of this collection knowing he got a great deal 👍
If you're happy with the price and he's happy with what he got then it's all good. It doesn't matter what anyone else says, it's your stuff and you do with it as you please, congratulations on your sale.
Well I have to ask 2 questions. What is your 1:1 car? Also. I saw a couple of dodge vipers carded, are they in the group you are selling? If not would you be interested in selling them?
I do believe $9800 is a bit too low. I felt like $15000 should've been a fair offer considering the condition and how long it would take to collect all your pieces. If the buyers don't add the value to all the gas and time you spent then you need to add it.
That must’ve been a hard decision to make, but gotta do what’s best for you and the family! Congrats on the new car too. Also, is the Mosaic Brady card numbered & what SB is it? Looks like 51 or 53? Huge Patriots fan here! Let me know if you wanna sell that too 😅 10:01
It been enjoy to watch your channel, can i ask a question, did u plan to collect brands other than hotwheels ? Maybe diecast miniscale 1/64, inno or tarmac ?
I would sell off just about all Post 1985, & likely for pennies on the dollar. The rest would be easy to manage. Collecting was much more fun when the cars left the blister & could be rolled around... & much easier to store too!
Yea my first 1:1 scale was so fun my Honda 2001 civic EX coupe I loved that car wish I had get back 😢 best days of life with my girlfriend driving round town whipping car like real hot wheels so happy just pure joy 🎉❤
Man I have been enjoying your content & your journey. Sorry to see you sell them but I understand life have other priorities. Looking forward to your latest pick up!
Think you made a deal that was reasonable for both parties. When you look back on it you’ll have a chance to find some more neat model cars in the future but sometimes catching the right opportunity/deal on a certain 1:1 car is much more seldom and something you’ll remember for a lifetime. Now you don’t have to worry about running out of space to display your diecast (at least for the time-being).
What you did was sell you’re collection to get you a brand new car .. on top that.. customized for you and only you … you smart .. you can’t drive toys … love the video ..
Congrats on the sale…better off getting rid of the whole lot at the same time. Trying to sell off in lil bits could be a bit time consuming and stressful etc.
I don't see myself ever and I mean EVER getting a collection this big maybe Max 20 cars and that's it maybe even less I'm already at 7 and extremely satisfied but I'll look around and see what I find. I feel with every hobby I never over did it like even trading cards its just a small collection.
Well brother, the way that I see it is yes you could of gotten more. However that means piecing it out, now it is all going at one time and it is a lot easier. Like you said this is a hobby and life come first. Trust me I do not want to give anything up, it has to be tough. Good luck with your new position and we will be here.
He could've made more without piecing it out. If he was smart he would've advertised his collection for sale on various die cast forums and it would go quick.
Look, I have been collecting since I was a punk kid in the late 70's. I never left the hobby, nor sold my "entire" collection. During military service abroad, I didn't collect, but while in the states, regardless of what city I was stationed, I made certain I hit the stores, shops and flea markets. When i get tired of the hobby, I simply take a break. Again, I have never sold my "entire" collection, why? Because I collect "WHAT I LIKE!" I don't chase "chase pieces"(Super Treasure Hunts, Treasures Hunts, White Lightning, Ultra Reds and so on)! I have cars that cost me a dime from '78, '79 and '80 and I have cars that cost me $200 that i have also. I said all that to simply say this: Super Treasure Hunts, Treasure Hunts, White Lightning, Ultra Reds and RLC are nice to have, but some of my favorite cars cost me less than a dollar! I collect the '55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser, '67-'69 Camaro, '68 Mercury Cougar, '83 Chevy Silverado, Surfin' School Bus, Drag Bus and a few more casting and I try to collect any new releases that come about. That's another thing, collect from "NOW", meaning if you start to collect your favorite casting and it is released twice or more this year, then collect it from that point forward, while trying to collect the older castings. If you awake daily and how well your day went is determined by how many Supers or chase pieces you found or didn't find, then this hobby isn't for you. Sorry to be so blunt, but trust me, in the long run, you will end up being miserable and dumping your collection, why? Because you were collecting for the wrong reasons! COLLECT WHAT YOU LIKE AND BE HAPPY!
Selling one entire collection is insanely hard to do...But as you get a certain age Its sell or leave it all behind for others to tangle with them when you re gone..
That’s way too low man. Could’ve gotten much more especially if you separate it. But 1:1 car is exciting, in a different way. Hopefully it’s a sought after one that’s only going to increase in value. I predict a 1:1 Nissan skyline or a civic type R in the works!
Gonna miss the content man, always looked forward to your level headed approach to things. Some of the other HW youtubers are to extra for me. Cant wait to see that 1:1 scale.
I’m not going anywhere…just less frequent. With a name like “TRD” I’m sure you’ll appreciate my new 1:1 😉
Got a gr86? Anniversary 4runner?
I've sold my entire collection numerous times and then a few years later i get that itch back and begin recollecting some of my faves. If it's in your heart you will be back.

$9800 is crazyyy for your collection bro there’s no way 15k minimum
Gotta account for convenience of a bulk buy. The time he's saving by not having to piece it out, will account for the worth. 👍
Lmfao you guys are smoking something good cause no way this was $15k. I’m surprised at $9800.
Been a joy to watch this portion of your collecting journey, and I’ll stick around for whatever you do going forwards.

Life takes priority and its good you have the strength to do that. I would not be able to and I hope I will not be forced by circumstances in the future to sell my collection!

It'll be fun seeing you build from scratch. I'm sure that's content some newbies to this hobby are looking for.
Good luck with your future and look forward to you building your collection back up with all the exciting new castings that Hot Wheels bring out each year, I do hope I never have to go through this situation, but you never know what life brings from day to day and year by year, I to have a pretty large collection, around 4000 pieces, all stored in containers unfortunately as nowhere to display, but i hope to do it one day
Wow! Far out man. About to start your custom Skyline this week, so that’s one towards the “new” collection. God bless.
Ha…no need to send it back, I just want to see the outcome 👍
It pains us just as much to see this all go, I don’t judge your your choice, and I’m excited to see your collection grow again!
Crazy update! Wow! That'll be a big change, congratz!
The nice thing about collecting is you can always restart your collection thats the fun thing about being a collector
It’s sad for all of your cars to go but, it’s what we collectors will have to do some day. Love your channel, and will love even more for your collection to build back up.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😀👊
Appreciate it!
I've had to do the same, that's why I have opened alot of cars so when I do sell parts of collection I still have the doubles opened to keep
Im happy you're at least keeping some of your hard to find pieces. That is a lot of NICE JDM stuff to part ways with. That had to be a tough one.
Super tough but the 1:1 will help.
Yea I’m glad I can keep my 1:18 Ignition Models
I’ve only been collecting for like 3 months (started with my kid) but the story behind the Gold EK9 is so cool.

How do you keep track of all your collections, and what you paid for them???

@@nikoenciso01exactly man carded cars dont mean nothing to collector's anymore. If its rare its rare🤣👍
Who the fuck cares lol he has life changes, he did what he was ok with doing, why give him any shit for anything? Lol
You probably feel so free 😮
Good for you! 🎉
✊ thanks hoping I don’t regret it
I feel for you man....but you making the right choice...and you get to keep yer favs.
✊👍🙏
$9800 for the whole lot? You had like 2k worth of ek9 supers alone! I call that a fire sale🔥🔥 wow
Kinda sorta..but you have to weigh out the situation. I mean how often do you run into one person who has ~$10k to spend on hot wheels 😳
@@DieCashCars I hear that, and also the time, work and expense to ship out individual items to separate buyers. But lots of choice pieces in that lot!
Ouch! Congrats on the great life wins. I stopped hunting for sometime and didn’t purge.I should have but glad I didn’t. The value is insane now. Hope to see a few post every once and a while. I’ll make sure to collect a few JDM for you when you are ready to get back into it
3.50 a car!!!
Holy shit this is quite the twist.
where can you get cases.. seeing a fresh HW case lying in a store gets me excited 😅
You can buy them from DollarTree.com or aandjtoys.com. They are about retail cost but no guarantee of a super treasure hunt
@@DieCashCars are black boxes any good? I heard they also have THs sometimes.
You're the best Diecash. Your content on TH-cam is very good and helpful. I hope you do well with rebuilding your hot wheels collection again.
Appreciate it bruh!
So what’s going to happen to the investment portfolio cars? I was interested in seeing what would happen to the vaules.
I was able to keep that as it was a small fraction in the grand scheme of things. I still need to do June and July as well 👍
You built up one awesome collection man! I wish I could've done the same but I understand where things change to where you have to let go of things. I remember loosing my itch in 2021 after having a rough year and then got back in the swing in 2022 and beyond and I'm having the most fun I've ever had in the hobby but congrats on your new job title.
Happy for the successful changes coming soon for you and family. Good luck. Sad to see all these great cars go. Looking forward to your next video soon. 😢😊
well played sir
How could I buy your cars?
best of luck bro!!
I've been contemplating selling my "extras" collection off as well.. To get a Tesla.. 🤔🤫💯
Do you have a eBay because I'm kind of wanna look ay some jdm cars i might want to buy or look at or something?
No eBay store sorry
I've been collecting since the early 2000s and have sold my collections a few times already, but doing the "real car" hobby is the true "money pit" and $$$$ goes by quick with real cars, I've been building Ae86 corollas since the early 2000s too and i usually pick up the HW collecting on and off to give myself a break from the Ae86 life, cuz it takes your money, time and patience lol...but good luck bro, do what make you happy 👍
You got what you thought was fair and your buyer got a great deal.
👍👍
i think they got a "really" good deal, imho...
How much do sell for all them
Seems like that box full of 22bs didn’t work out.
I’d say too soon to tell
😎
I would keep one of each casting of my vintage redlines and blackwalls and sell most everything else
Brother take your time sell them slowly when you can you will get double that
I always tell those who question my hobby (especially my kids and wife): Hot Wheels is money in the bank. I'm not saying necessarily profit. I am saying that, in the end, you can get as minimum, as much as you invested in the hobby, if you maintain a careful balance of subjects (curating), mint quality, packaging and continuity (amount of years collecting).

So, congrats on your sale, enjoy life and always discover new hobbies that excite you and your family.
Your collection is worth more than that you have beautiful cards and their in mint condition
I agree but this definitely had a large lot discount…all part of the deal 👍
Dang bruh…..who’s your buyer? I got a bunch to offload too 😅
What would you have done differently knowing what you know now?
Nothing, would have played it all the same 👍
@@DieCashCars , perfect answer
I met this collector who's cousin collected as well, he hit a low & sold his lot for 15k.
That's what I was told, I can't account for the story but if that's true, that's crazy. & I think you were definitely fair overall. You could've asked for more but I think it was good. Then again I'm new to this so what do I know lol
It’s subjective…I could have asked for more but like you said it was fair 👍
Thanks!
I'm the opposite. I got me a fun 1:1 scale car and then got into collecting Hot Wheels and stuff after 😂
I feel like I need a reboot I’m collecting but at the same time I might not be able to part away with certain things such as supers, convention cars, or RLC that I’ve gotten for a killer price. But I’ve been purging like crazy
Fresh perspective helps sometimes…
According to my numbers setting away the money wall you're getting approximately $1.45 per car on all the others...in my opinion not a good deal...but sometimes we have to take tough decisions, I've been in that position also... good luck and enjoy your new ride!!!
I know 😭
Lot deals are always heavily discounted. And I’m sure the buyer will be twice as appreciative of this collection knowing he got a great deal 👍
Yeah same happened to me with my 1:18 scale collection...
Have done this before as well was buying sports car for real & needed money for insurance , things you just have too get with a new car 🤫😎
Ha I’m am relearning all the needs of a real car now…93 premium 😑
If you're happy with the price and he's happy with what he got then it's all good. It doesn't matter what anyone else says, it's your stuff and you do with it as you please, congratulations on your sale.
I got about the same collection you have, but 85% are shorties. NO WAY, I sell it for less then 10K
Well I have to ask 2 questions. What is your 1:1 car? Also. I saw a couple of dodge vipers carded, are they in the group you are selling? If not would you be interested in selling them?
I do believe $9800 is a bit too low. I felt like $15000 should've been a fair offer considering the condition and how long it would take to collect all your pieces. If the buyers don't add the value to all the gas and time you spent then you need to add it.
Good insight
Offer was not for $15000.
Mad respect man i was even gonna ask u once if u would sell the collection should of ask 👍🤙
Good for you bro!
I got an rare hot wheels collectible! It’s a hot wheels car called High Voltage from Acceleracers in black and orange color scheme
Collectors and RC car people never understand the value of 1 to 1 scale. You actually get to ride in it.
I like your channel a lot. Get your things in order and you can always start again. Keep hunting buddy we all support you 🌜👍
That must’ve been a hard decision to make, but gotta do what’s best for you and the family! Congrats on the new car too. Also, is the Mosaic Brady card numbered & what SB is it? Looks like 51 or 53? Huge Patriots fan here! Let me know if you wanna sell that too 😅 10:01

Yea my first 1:1 scale was so fun my Honda 2001 civic EX coupe I loved that car wish I had get back 😢 best days of life with my girlfriend driving round town whipping car like real hot wheels so happy just pure joy 🎉❤
Hotwheels car's comes and Hotwheels go but you remain 😊
Man I have been enjoying your content & your journey.
Sorry to see you sell them but I understand life have other priorities.
Looking forward to your latest pick up!
ONLY 9800? Atleast your happy hope to see more things in the future and it’s sad too we it go I just know it will be bigger and better
Think you made a deal that was reasonable for both parties. When you look back on it you’ll have a chance to find some more neat model cars in the future but sometimes catching the right opportunity/deal on a certain 1:1 car is much more seldom and something you’ll remember for a lifetime.
Now you don’t have to worry about running out of space to display your diecast (at least for the time-being).
100% agreed 👍
Damn! You haven’t opened a single card?! 😮
Someone got a killer deal.
Your friend forgot to tell you he doesn't like all those 240z fair ladies, especially that 1/18 scale. Luckily, I would be willing to take them.
What you did was sell you’re collection to get you a brand new car .. on top that.. customized for you and only you … you smart .. you can’t drive toys … love the video ..
🤜🤛
Very cool castings diecash cars
Where are you from I'm in Bismarck North Dakota
The midwest
Are you in California
I hope the guy that you sold it to isn't from Mandan North Dakota
Nice! Started this year and I’m already going to take a break from it
I will miss you my friend. I can't wait to see you again.
im thinking of selling my collection soon, bought a 5th gen 4runner
Very cool
If I sold my collection, there would be a few that I just couldnt part with. With that said, money does talk. Lol
It does…not everyday someone will pay up to 5 figures for a collection
💥💯💥👌😉👌 awesome journey 👏
Great content 👌 👏 👍
Congrats on the sale…better off getting rid of the whole lot at the same time. Trying to sell off in lil bits could be a bit time consuming and stressful etc.
RIP! It’s a sad day. 😢
$200 shy of $10k. I would have closed it at $10,000 even. Are you gonna sell that 1:18 AUTOART GTR?
I can feel the pain in your voice!
Ha…that obvious huh?!
No worries…better days are on the way with the 1:1
This is just a reboot guys he’s coming back stronger
Absolutely 💯
How much bro?
I put it in the video 😉
I don't see myself ever and I mean EVER getting a collection this big maybe Max 20 cars and that's it maybe even less I'm already at 7 and extremely satisfied but I'll look around and see what I find. I feel with every hobby I never over did it like even trading cards its just a small collection.
Wish id known. I would've given way more. Still could
Well brother, the way that I see it is yes you could of gotten more. However that means piecing it out, now it is all going at one time and it is a lot easier. Like you said this is a hobby and life come first. Trust me I do not want to give anything up, it has to be tough. Good luck with your new position and we will be here.
He could've made more without piecing it out. If he was smart he would've advertised his collection for sale on various die cast forums and it would go quick.
@@lobotomyscam1051 good point
Look, I have been collecting since I was a punk kid in the late 70's. I never left the hobby, nor sold my "entire" collection. During military service abroad, I didn't collect, but while in the states, regardless of what city I was stationed, I made certain I hit the stores, shops and flea markets.
When i get tired of the hobby, I simply take a break.
Again, I have never sold my "entire" collection, why?
Because I collect "WHAT I LIKE!"
I don't chase "chase pieces"(Super Treasure Hunts, Treasures Hunts, White Lightning, Ultra Reds and so on)!
I have cars that cost me a dime from '78, '79 and '80 and I have cars that cost me $200 that i have also.
I said all that to simply say this: Super Treasure Hunts, Treasure Hunts, White Lightning, Ultra Reds and RLC are nice to have, but some of my favorite cars cost me less than a dollar!
I collect the '55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser, '67-'69 Camaro, '68 Mercury Cougar, '83 Chevy Silverado, Surfin' School Bus, Drag Bus and a few more casting and I try to collect any new releases that come about.
That's another thing, collect from "NOW", meaning if you start to collect your favorite casting and it is released twice or more this year, then collect it from that point forward, while trying to collect the older castings.
If you awake daily and how well your day went is determined by how many Supers or chase pieces you found or didn't find, then this hobby isn't for you.
Sorry to be so blunt, but trust me, in the long run, you will end up being miserable and dumping your collection, why?
Because you were collecting for the wrong reasons!
COLLECT WHAT YOU LIKE AND BE HAPPY!
R.I.P DieCash Cars
I’m still alive and kickin 😅👍
Just a bit lighter
@@DieCashCars this was my favorite hot wheels channel. I'm gonna miss it 😭
Selling one entire collection is insanely hard to do...But as you get a certain age Its sell or leave it all behind for others to tangle with them when you re gone..
That’s way too low man. Could’ve gotten much more especially if you separate it. But 1:1 car is exciting, in a different way. Hopefully it’s a sought after one that’s only going to increase in value. I predict a 1:1 Nissan skyline or a civic type R in the works!
This hurts my soul. I can't imagine how you feel.😢
Ha I’ve made peace with it…it was time 🤜🤛
