Hot Wheels: An obsession

So one of my quirks is that I'm a collector of Hot Wheels.  I don't collect all Hot Wheels that exist or go after the most sought after models.  I just collect what I like.  I've had Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars since I was only a few years old and I've waited an extremely long time to share these little cars with my son.  I like to think of my collection as my own personal "Jay Leno" garage of cars I would love to own.  Most recently Mattel has released the 2013 models and I was extremely pleased to see them continue to create cars from one of my favorite automobile manufacturers, BMW.   Not only have they recently produced latemodel M3s and the historic 2002, they've released one of my favorites which is the E30 M3.  I'm not 100% crazy on the wheel selection they've made, but it's still a casting that I love and have been seeking out heavily for the past month.  I've been able to locate several of them with one of my latest stops to Walmart.  In addition to that, I was also fortunate to find a new version of their E92 M3 in black which is also a 2013 release.  I'm thankful for whomever on the Hot Wheels staff has created this recent surge in Bavarian Motor Works patronage.  Bravo!

An introduction...

I was thinking today of starting a blog...  Not for any particular reason.  I guess I wanted to share the things in my life which I find interesting.  It would appear that I need an outlet to express my interests in hobbies and general life since a lot of the friends and acquaintances I have don't really have the same interests.  Whenever I'm in a social atmosphere I always find others discussing things such as college basketball or how they're doing on their fantasy football league.  Most of which I don't know anything about or have an interest in.  So I guess that's why I'm doing it.  You'll find I'm pretty much a thrifty techno geek nerd who is still a kid at heart and who loves his wife and kids dearly.  I'd like to think that this blog will cover my interests like cars, auto racing, music, movies, computers, tech, toys, and whatever else I find interesting.
