    I live in China and I checked the price of this 1:18 Chevy Monza.It costs CN¥353(it's about $51).
    So you spend more money on shipping than on the car itself

    Yeah, thats gotta be my favorite thing. The sunroof opens, and it has a slider for the sunroof on the inside.the seats are even made from rubber and the trunk is lined with a carpet. Really authentic:D

    Yeah, considering i live in the U.S, it makes the shipping really expensive. Its coming from Someplace in China to the U.S. thats about 10,000 miles i think (possibly more)

    Went to a toy swap meet today and scored some nice models including two custom Chevy gassers based on Hot Wheels, a Hot Wheels Elite Chaser and a RLC Hakosuka Skyline (still ripped them out of the blister, I know, value ruined, but eh) :)

    Found these golden boys in my local Morrisons.
    Already have a Lucid but in silver, and I've never seen the Seville before.

    That's the only angle I've seen the Seville from that makes it look right. Sweet cars!

    I was today years old when I found out that GMC made an El Camino. Not surprising, but quite interesting. Sweet model!

    Recently I have finished the Lego Mustang GT (set 42138), as I got it for my birthday, and it was really fun. The entire time I was binge-watching Failrace's Survive the Hunt series :D.
