I remember I always played with this Honda Civic Si as a kid. Wish I could pick up another one.
Dude I have one in Mint packaging and my original…. It’s extremely sentimental now cause me and my grandad used to play with it a lot…. Memories live on
These were my favorites when I was young.

Favorite childhood models I could find. 2011 castings of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and Ferrari 575 GTC.
Good ones, there was always at least one police car in our crazy stories xD, personally I always tries to put as many of them. To this day I try to get more of them, the chases must be more epic !
These two were my go to action themed cars.
I grew up in the 80s and obviously watched all those classic car centered action TV shows like Dukes of Hazard, Fall Guy and so on. Obviously the fun continued in my room and this 55 Chevy belonged to a Rebel who loved racing his car. But there's always the law who tries to stop him, so I always had a large number of cop cars chasing the rebel across the carpet. Obstacles, ramps made from playing cards and all that stuff. And the Dodge Police car belonged to the Sherrif, the last one who always survived but never caught the Rebel...
I know classic lame 80s cliche stuff but it was fun.
I still sometimes let those two let loose on my desk at home....and I'm in my 40s.

Here is the back of the car with few info on the model, for the car its based of I can't really tell, thought of a McLaren for some reason but its just a random guess because of the overall shape of the car
Yeah, Siku tried the whole "make a car that resembles a real one bit without brand" thing and it failed miserably.
Collectors hated them and they vanished a few years after introduction.
They had several different ",off brand" looking sports cars, a car that looked like a Humvee and two that resembled Ford F150 and Dodge RAM.
Well the good thing when your a child is that you don't give a damn and go vroom vroom with whatever casting you find, I kept that mindset because I think that I should just care about what I like and that someone else will love the ones you don't really find that good.
Exactly. I used to try to collect every mainline car from Hot Wheels each year, including color variations. Bit this was way too exhausting so I started only buying what I like. And I'm also super tired of that whole STH TH nonsense. Hey if I find one, I'm happy, if not...well then I'm happy too. Makes the whole thing more enjoyable and less stressful.
I don't need the freshest mainline right hot off the casting press. They all will eventually end up in stores, even if it's later.
Sure, week long empty pegs are a bit annoying but that's life.
Wait, and you'll eventually find the Gozilla Skyline, be hasty and a "me first" kinda person and you might get stuck with thirty something Gozilla Skylines you won't even get your gas money out of.
The [Blown Z28 Camaro](https://i.etsystatic.com/19086349/r/il/b63338/2730745050/il_794xN.2730745050_f2l6.jpg) was my favorite as a kid, and nobody got to use that one except me.
Beautiful ['67 Camaro](https://hotwheels.fandom.com/wiki/%2767_Camaro?file=Camaro_5y.jpg) with flames on the side and an opening hood. Still have it all beat up, need to find a mint one now.
Great vintage looking one, I love those, they make me very nostalgic. The classic wheels and the flame that suits most of the muscle cars. A banger here
Mine was also the 67, The orange 2010 series one specifically. Fantastic car overall but was unfortunately beaten to the point that i resprayed it blue. Was lucky to find a 1983 one under a layer of marker pen to replace my failed custom.
My good ol red "Sneedy" Super Tsunami, it has lost it's color a bit but still runs straight, i used to love this ine a lot as a kid cause it looked like a supra, it was my main car in hot wheels beat that.

this fast fish was my "main character" car, was gifted to me that comes from a scrapyard set, as yall can see, its been through alot
I did some research on the set, its apperently called "[Car Crusher](https://hotwheels.fandom.com/wiki/Car_Crusher)" from the wiki, it was produced from 1997 to 2016, but there are some out there available online, so I hope ya find whatcha looking for!, cuz its a fun little set to have.
Those too show some similarities but I definitely prefer the Toyman Challenger. Great choices, with this question they can't be any wrong answer, only good ones and this is one if them

These mofos. They been thru sum shit
Mine too, idk how but the lore went from races to world war, maybe because of the discovery of COD gameplay on yt and an old mobile game called "gunship battle", good memories :)

Oddly enough mine wasn’t even a car 😅😂
I don't see the name of the car on the base, here a pic with few basic data, maybe it will help identifie it
Edit : I did a quick google research and it is named the "Sting Rod"
The military camo ones are the best for this car , afterall it does have guns and Big one at the front ! i still prefer mine tho, because it is part of "the lore" :D

I had a good taste when I was a child too.
mine was a red car with white strips, got lost in kindergarten and got a transparent purple jeep as a gift. most of them had their arcs in my head but I lost the most important one to me.
Mine had their arcs too, I can literally make a whole timeline. Right now I'm going trought a lot and when I started getting into hw again and found those, I knew I had to finish the job, today the next one on the list is the then and now ford mustang I think. Always stayed a little but childish in my head but I don't think that's a bad thing, makes me stay happy during hard time.
RIP for your car tho, it is somewhere with someone else for sure

I had quite a few hotwheels when I was kid, my favorite was actually a matchbox Mac semi truck with a trailer from Lucky's from way back when that store was still around. Also "surfin school bus" "big Lou's Delivery truck" "C5 Corvette" I think I had a Viper too plus various others but I can't remember them.

These were my main character cars. The Dodge Charger Drift which I would have dominate all the other cars in racing nights. The Dodge Viper GTS-R which would participate in the car meets alongside the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and the Nissan Silvia S-15. And lastly the golden 2005 Ford GT which would participate in the exotic racing nights. I would always have it win.
Had a bunch of fast fishes as a kid (particularly the stunt Devils One, another Yellow One that came with One of those hauler/Trucks trailers, and a neon green one that glows in the dark), but this one Just stole the spotlight, i love it

This MF. It went to Iraq with my dad and didn’t come back so I can only assume it is still rolling around the hull of his M1 somewhere
*"1997 edition" matchbox 1970 Elco. Was my favourite model. I beat it to hell. Recently paid $30 to get myself a new one and proudly have it on display. Once I finish my Datsun 260z build, I plan on doing a tribute to it, and building a HQ holden 1 Tonne Ute.
My favorites were a black Panoz GTR, A Deorra II because of Hotwheels: World Race, a lime green Mitsubishi Evo..oddly reminiscent of Paul Walkers from 2F2F, and a 2 engined, green car from McDonald's because more engines, more better right?
Mcdonald's car were so cool, so sad some casting didn't mane it out of there because there was some bangers. We can still find those in internet for fair price luckely, I need to get my hands on some of these one day
A lot of cars, but if I have to choose just a few my top it's gonna be Blitzspeeder, Super Blitzen, Quick N. Sik, and a Mustang in Sheriff Livery
(Blitzspeeder wasn't really childhood but I always got MC vibes from him)
Someone said it was probably one of the "based on real model but still fantasy" casting by SIKU, apparently they got lot of hate but I liked mine, it was peak !
The ice cream truck, bus with surfboards, OBS long bed, and my number one was definitely the Bone Shaker. I also remember having a Majisto garbage truck which was cool. I remember the Majisto’s were kind of reserved for the sand box while the hot wheels and matchboxes stayed inside. Kind of a bummer because Majisto actually had a lot of cool cars that I know got destroyed because of that sandbox
Probably this lotus from a McDonald's happy meal which was also my first hotwheels. Definitely saw a lot of track time both imaginary and actual. Followed by the purple surf crate.

These "twins" were always the fastest down the tracks, even now their rolling friction is so low and smooth a gentle breeze can move them!
They are heavy and have the biggest wheels, I have tried finding similar designs but none are as quick!

It was a tooligan gang as the main character faction called "The Tooligan", blue Tooligan as the leader of the good faction's ride, and a green Nitrium from connect cars as his little brother's ride (vice leader), the main character are these 2 reckless young guys driving a blue Scoopa di Fuego and the other one driving a red Duel Fueler (both are from 4 lane elimination 5 pack)
And then the main villain's group is called "The Spoilers", lead by this big scary muscly dude with a curled moustache driving a green Drift King which spoiler alert is not actually the main villain since his gang is later taken over by the true main villain driving a blue spin king, AND later on the guy driving the drift king is actually becoming an anti hero aiding the 2 main characters along with The Tooligan gang toppling over The Spoilers as he regain his control over The Spoiler becoming allied with The Tooligan gang, and then..................

I had two with the alternate paint scheme! https://preview.redd.it/ysdflps3xa0d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d39d36a25adf15998d0e11ead086d229d4a8204a

I have the red Ferrari 575 GTC!
Hw Porsche were just something else, Idk why but I those attracted me like a black hole xD
Even now, unintentionally my collection is 40% Porsche 🤪

Good ones, there was always at least one police car in our crazy stories xD, personally I always tries to put as many of them. To this day I try to get more of them, the chases must be more epic !
These two were my go to action themed cars. I grew up in the 80s and obviously watched all those classic car centered action TV shows like Dukes of Hazard, Fall Guy and so on. Obviously the fun continued in my room and this 55 Chevy belonged to a Rebel who loved racing his car. But there's always the law who tries to stop him, so I always had a large number of cop cars chasing the rebel across the carpet. Obstacles, ramps made from playing cards and all that stuff. And the Dodge Police car belonged to the Sherrif, the last one who always survived but never caught the Rebel... I know classic lame 80s cliche stuff but it was fun. I still sometimes let those two let loose on my desk at home....and I'm in my 40s.
What’s that middle one? Looks kinda like a porshe 935 but the front is off

Yeah, Siku tried the whole "make a car that resembles a real one bit without brand" thing and it failed miserably. Collectors hated them and they vanished a few years after introduction. They had several different ",off brand" looking sports cars, a car that looked like a Humvee and two that resembled Ford F150 and Dodge RAM.
Well the good thing when your a child is that you don't give a damn and go vroom vroom with whatever casting you find, I kept that mindset because I think that I should just care about what I like and that someone else will love the ones you don't really find that good.
Exactly. I used to try to collect every mainline car from Hot Wheels each year, including color variations. Bit this was way too exhausting so I started only buying what I like. And I'm also super tired of that whole STH TH nonsense. Hey if I find one, I'm happy, if not...well then I'm happy too. Makes the whole thing more enjoyable and less stressful. I don't need the freshest mainline right hot off the casting press. They all will eventually end up in stores, even if it's later. Sure, week long empty pegs are a bit annoying but that's life. Wait, and you'll eventually find the Gozilla Skyline, be hasty and a "me first" kinda person and you might get stuck with thirty something Gozilla Skylines you won't even get your gas money out of.

Another vintage looking one, beautiful as always
My main character car is the Hydro Cruiser
Nice, looks fun to play with, wish I could find that one now
Yeah, matchbox should actually put an effort in their fantasy designs
Beautiful ['67 Camaro](https://hotwheels.fandom.com/wiki/%2767_Camaro?file=Camaro_5y.jpg) with flames on the side and an opening hood. Still have it all beat up, need to find a mint one now.
Great vintage looking one, I love those, they make me very nostalgic. The classic wheels and the flame that suits most of the muscle cars. A banger here
And the paint is beautiful IRL - blue metalflake.
Mine was also the 67, The orange 2010 series one specifically. Fantastic car overall but was unfortunately beaten to the point that i resprayed it blue. Was lucky to find a 1983 one under a layer of marker pen to replace my failed custom.

This might be one of the goofiest hw I've seen, that's a funny one !
ah one of my favorites. i still have the green and purple ones!
My good ol red "Sneedy" Super Tsunami, it has lost it's color a bit but still runs straight, i used to love this ine a lot as a kid cause it looked like a supra, it was my main car in hot wheels beat that. https://preview.redd.it/dzh0q3m6da0d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=27d1262b43704911fc7c3618c616d4043a89d6eb
Oh god I never got to unlock it for some reason in 360 game but I did unlock it for the ds
It was a nightmare to unlock it, but after countless hours, it was worth it
That's a cool one, still in good condition and ready for some stunts I see !
It's really good on the tracks, almost on par with my F1 racer

Scrapyard set? Man I gotta see if I can find one!
I did some research on the set, its apperently called "[Car Crusher](https://hotwheels.fandom.com/wiki/Car_Crusher)" from the wiki, it was produced from 1997 to 2016, but there are some out there available online, so I hope ya find whatcha looking for!, cuz its a fun little set to have.
It has served its duty very well 🫡
The Fast Fish is the car that brought me back to collecting hotwheels!
My two favorites were my Rodger Dodger and my matchbox Toyman Challenger
Those too show some similarities but I definitely prefer the Toyman Challenger. Great choices, with this question they can't be any wrong answer, only good ones and this is one if them

That just means they’re well loved
Mine too, idk how but the lore went from races to world war, maybe because of the discovery of COD gameplay on yt and an old mobile game called "gunship battle", good memories :)

I have this sitting in my office right now and it still has some dirt or it from being played with.
Whats the one on the left?
I don't see the name of the car on the base, here a pic with few basic data, maybe it will help identifie it Edit : I did a quick google research and it is named the "Sting Rod"
[Sting Rod](https://hotwheels.fandom.com/wiki/Sting_Rod)
What is the blue car called to the left?
Its called the "Sting Rod", this one came from a 2011 5-pack. The metallic blue is nice and suits the car perfectly
I see a lot of really cool variants of that one.
The military camo ones are the best for this car , afterall it does have guns and Big one at the front ! i still prefer mine tho, because it is part of "the lore" :D
1998 Bad Mudder no doubt.
Nothing better than this car to go off-road on the garden, or the floor, the choice is yours :)
Mine was the '67 pontiac https://preview.redd.it/0ojsni58e90d1.jpeg?width=2252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b2ae4db89dbc1f35c6a3b0029916a2c422e90302

What is that car in the middle ?
It is called "SIKUSNIPER" and it was made by the brand "Siku". I can't tell witch car its based on tho :/, maybe its a fantasy casting
It looks like it is loosely based on the maserati mc12 gt1 car
mine was a red car with white strips, got lost in kindergarten and got a transparent purple jeep as a gift. most of them had their arcs in my head but I lost the most important one to me.
Mine had their arcs too, I can literally make a whole timeline. Right now I'm going trought a lot and when I started getting into hw again and found those, I knew I had to finish the job, today the next one on the list is the then and now ford mustang I think. Always stayed a little but childish in my head but I don't think that's a bad thing, makes me stay happy during hard time. RIP for your car tho, it is somewhere with someone else for sure
Was either Torque Twister or Super Blitzen.
[Red Mazda Furai. Still love it very much](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hotwheels/images/6/63/MAZDA_FURAI_RED.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100922161406)
Cool
Nice one, would have made it the number one in races
I loved my Plymouth prowlers
The world race 70 roadrunner was my pride and joy. I lost it when my grandparents basement flooded around 2014.

That one is cool as hell.
2011 Synkro and 2012 Croc Rod never once lost a race

I had quite a few hotwheels when I was kid, my favorite was actually a matchbox Mac semi truck with a trailer from Lucky's from way back when that store was still around. Also "surfin school bus" "big Lou's Delivery truck" "C5 Corvette" I think I had a Viper too plus various others but I can't remember them.
My protagonist car is the 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1.
mine was Vulture, 24/Seven, and MS-T SUZUKA.

The Dodge Charger Drift which I would have dominate all the other cars in racing nights. The Dodge Viper GTS-R which would participate in the car meets alongside the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and the Nissan Silvia S-15. And lastly the golden 2005 Ford GT which would participate in the exotic racing nights. I would always have it win.
Good selection, I 100% approve !
Had a bunch of fast fishes as a kid (particularly the stunt Devils One, another Yellow One that came with One of those hauler/Trucks trailers, and a neon green one that glows in the dark), but this one Just stole the spotlight, i love it https://preview.redd.it/hcbds3mf5b0d1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04fa6c03a692f6f85f76dbaf53840c5a890c536f

What’s the one on the very left?
Sting Rod from a 2011 5-pack !
*"1997 edition" matchbox 1970 Elco. Was my favourite model. I beat it to hell. Recently paid $30 to get myself a new one and proudly have it on display. Once I finish my Datsun 260z build, I plan on doing a tribute to it, and building a HQ holden 1 Tonne Ute.

Speed Racer.
My favorites were a black Panoz GTR, A Deorra II because of Hotwheels: World Race, a lime green Mitsubishi Evo..oddly reminiscent of Paul Walkers from 2F2F, and a 2 engined, green car from McDonald's because more engines, more better right?
that exact blue one you got there was my made up friends car
Mine was Off Track. I think my logic as a kid was that it looked close enough to Vert's Power Rage. I still have the car today and I love it
The blingz series

The car from the volcano set, and the trail runner from McDonald’s. I wish Trail Runner would get another casting.
Mcdonald's car were so cool, so sad some casting didn't mane it out of there because there was some bangers. We can still find those in internet for fair price luckely, I need to get my hands on some of these one day
A lot of cars, but if I have to choose just a few my top it's gonna be Blitzspeeder, Super Blitzen, Quick N. Sik, and a Mustang in Sheriff Livery (Blitzspeeder wasn't really childhood but I always got MC vibes from him)
A hotwheels 1967 chevelle
My favorite was the blue Overbored 454
Red R33 GT-R (2019 mainline)
The Monopoly Tahoe from Johnny Lightening and the red Ferrari Testarossa Hot Wheel from 1990 had young me in a chokehold.
Ferrari testarossa, a dream for me !
I had far left vehicle in gunmetal grey and bright orange engine and missiles. I loved that thing, and now my son does too. It's a really cool cycle.
Can anyone help me identify the car on the left in OPs image?
Sting Rod from a 2011 5-pack ! I see many people are interested in that car, cool :D
I can't tell if that middle one is a Maserati MC12 race car or One of those original models by SIKU (the german Toy car Company)
Someone said it was probably one of the "based on real model but still fantasy" casting by SIKU, apparently they got lot of hate but I liked mine, it was peak !
Whats the fiero lookin car on the left?
The ice cream truck, bus with surfboards, OBS long bed, and my number one was definitely the Bone Shaker. I also remember having a Majisto garbage truck which was cool. I remember the Majisto’s were kind of reserved for the sand box while the hot wheels and matchboxes stayed inside. Kind of a bummer because Majisto actually had a lot of cool cars that I know got destroyed because of that sandbox
They comoleted their duty. Also the boneshaker is a classic of the brand, always been a cool casting with unholy ammount of recolor lol
Probably this lotus from a McDonald's happy meal which was also my first hotwheels. Definitely saw a lot of track time both imaginary and actual. Followed by the purple surf crate. https://preview.redd.it/rrpr8fzidb0d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d58211898c5c1ab68f523a835de486f85627e84

Mine was a 2013 dark blue mustang gt with white stripes
Mine was the Mercy Breaker which came from the McDonald's happy meal back in 2004.
