Top Gear

I'm a big fan of the British television show Top Gear, which tends to focus on extravagant and high priced European sports cars. As a complete contrast, I've also been known to glance at the pegs full of Hot Wheels when visiting my local grocery store, that tend to feature American muscle cars, and a wide variety of fantasy inspired vehicles.



It was a nice surprise to see that Hot Wheels is putting out a great selection of world class sports cars this year. Maybe it was just a coincidence that I'd found all four of these Top Gear worthy cars hanging near each other, but I couldn't resist picking them up to run around the imaginary test track on my desk.





Of the Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Aston Martin, I'm most fond of the Hot Wheels Ferrari, though I'd probably go for the Aston Martin if I could choose one to actually drive.

But I can't afford any of these cars in real life, which is what makes collecting Hot Wheels so great, as it gives me a chance to own all four, and I don't have to worry about insuring them.
