I just paid for five new cars, and already had two JDM machines at home. That means I'm missing three items for the complete line-up. I'm stuck in the same situation with two or three different Hot Wheels themes, too. But that's OK, as I still have two more weeks to prepare everything for September. That's when I start ...

He's been "out of the loop" for a few years with some personal problems. We went drifting together over a decade ago, and we've known each other for almost 20 years now. And yet somehow, I don't think he's aware of my Hot Wheels "problem". He'll probably visit me at some point next ye...

The seller wanted 12 or 13 of my Premium cars, and I found circa 20 Mainline items I wanted in exchange. I just didn't expect he'd set the prices so high, as it initially looked like he was going for $4 per car. Something didn't feel right to me so I just wished him good luck with the sale. If he was right and I… ## [8 Special Hot Wheels Most Collectors Will Soon Want to Have](https://www.autoevolution.com/news/8-special-hot-wheels-most-collectors-will-soon-want-to-have-274298.html) _2026-08-17 · autoevolution (Dragos Chitulescu) · autoevolution news (Diecast Model Cars)_ I'm currently negotiating swapping some of my loose premium Hot Wheels for some old, carded Mainlines. The guy who's selling them seems to be up for it, and he even wants the RLC Rockster I showed you recently. I'm happy to keep exploring instead of just amassing more and more tiny cars until I run out of room. I agree modern-era Hot Wheels are quite a bit more accurate compared to the real-world… ## [6 New Mini GT Collectibles for August of 2026](https://www.autoevolution.com/news/6-new-mini-gt-collectibles-for-august-of-2026-274286.html) _2026-08-17 · autoevolution (Dragos Chitulescu) · autoevolution news (Diecast Model Cars)_ A few days ago someone on my local collector's group posted a photo of a room filled with Hot Wheels. There were hundreds of pre-2000 items in there, but also many modern era releases. Sadly, he only wanted to sell everything as a package, asking about $5,000 for the whole thing. Meanwhile, one of the guys in his town went and got the nicest cars in there and is now selling them in batches: 25… ## [Exclusive: Inside the Mind That Shaped the Hennessey Blackbird](https://www.autoevolution.com/news/exclusive-inside-the-mind-that-shaped-the-hennessey-blackbird-274268.html) _2026-08-17 · autoevolution (Sergiu Tudose) · autoevolution news (Interviews)_ Designing a modern hypercar is like defusing a bomb. One tiny mistake and history will not look back on you kindly. Gone are the days when Jeremy Clarkson would drive something fast and exciting, but with several weaknesses, only to say that he loved it precisely because it wasn't perfect. This is 2026, and people expect a flawless experience behind the wheel, especially when the asking price is… ## [Hot Wheels Unboxing: 8 Red Line Club Collectibles for August of 2026](https://www.autoevolution.com/news/hot-wheels-unboxing-8-red-line-club-collectibles-for-august-of-2026-274096.html) _2026-08-16 · autoevolution (Dragos Chitulescu) · autoevolution news (Diecast Model Cars)_ I sometimes like to look at life like it's a video game. Often times, you can compare it to an RPG. Some people will focus on becoming wiser, other want to be stronger. You can keep learning new skills to help you on your quests, and you can "equip" various objects to your "inventory" as well. Of course, the "game" isn't exclusively about character building. Y...

It was available for $24.90 on the company's website, but is obviously sold out now. I might not keep it for my collection, as one of my colleague was amazed by how good the item looks and I decided to let him have it. I still have the ( continue reading... ) ## [Hot Wheels Unboxing: 10 Mainline Cars for August of 2026](https://www.autoevolution.com/news/hot-wheels-unboxing-10-mainline-cars-for-august-of-2026-273747.html) _2026-08-09 · autoevolution (Dragos Chitulescu) · autoevolution news (Diecast Model Cars)_ For the first time since I began writing (and taking photos for) these unboxing stories, I'm facing a major dilemma. I have no clue what my third theme for August will be. I still haven't taken delivery of my sELECTIONs Nissan Skyline, so an RLC-focused story won't be possible. I also don't have any more ( continue reading... ) ## [New Hot Wheels RLC Exclusive ’21 Ford Bronco Will Make 5,000 Collectors Happy](https://www.autoevolution.com/news/new-hot-wheels-rlc-exclusive-21-ford-bronco-will-make-5000-collectors-happy-273965.html) _2026-08-09 · autoevolution (Dragos Chitulescu) · autoevolution news (Diecast Model Cars)_ My imagination often runs wild with certain situations. It's how I end up overthinking various scenarios. For the past week I kept thinking that the guy who wanted to buy 150 Hot Wheels from me wasn't real. Today, I met up with him after a two-hour drive and the transaction went smoothly. Not only that, but apparently he recognized me from YouTube as he's a JDM enthusiast himself and he knows the… ## [Pirate.io on Google Play (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/MBPIp5zs7oan) _2026-08-09 · **Sponsored**_ Open the Pirate.io listing on Google Play to view the app’s details. ## [Hot Wheels Toyota Family Will Be Getting Two New Cars Soon](https://www.autoevolution.com/news/hot-wheels-toyota-family-will-be-getting-two-new-cars-soon-273755.html) _2026-08-03 · autoevolution (Dragos Chitulescu) · autoevolution news (Diecast Model Cars)_ I've been planning to purge my Hot Wheels collection for many months now and have only recently managed to stick to that plan. It all went smoother than I had anticipated, as I used a simple "rule" I learned many years ago. It starts with a question: "Do I want to keep this item in my collection?" If the answer is yes, I'll set it aside. If the answer is "No"...

It was the age before 1000-hp builds. Most drivers were still using Japanese cars, with BMWs and American machines player a smaller role in the scene. I'm talking about the "Drift Mechaniks Don't Stop" period, about the same time Barack Obama was sworn into office. Chris Forsberg won his first FD title that… ## [Ansible Motion’s Simulators Feel Like a Page Out of the Future](https://www.autoevolution.com/news/ansible-motions-simulators-feel-like-a-page-out-of-the-future-267783.html) _2026-03-29 · autoevolution (Dragos Chitulescu) · autoevolution news (Interviews)_ People have often told me I have an "elephant's memory". I like to think of it as my superpower. It's what helped me learn phrases in over a dozen languages among other things. But I have an anti-superpower that balances things out. Sometimes, I can be a professional "postponer" if that's even a thing. I can postpone things for days, weeks, months or even years and I&a...

No, I'm not turning 20, but 38. I am talking about how long it's been since I got my driver's license. I guess people who just use cars to go from A to B don't typically care about anniversaries like that. But driving has been a big part of my life, even before I had a license. I've probably driven over 500 cars, racking up almost...

I've tried to distance myself from this type of person. Or at the very least, I've stopped sharing my ideas with them. We all dream differently. It's sad to see that some people just don't want to dream at all. So, surround yourself with people that believe in you and will support your dreams. Or just act in silence and let the results speak for themselve...

Most of the major championships have already entered the off-season. There are several changes underway, and it's always interesting to see how they will impact the outcome next year. Even though my world typically revolves around cars, there's still a biker side to me. I've spent several years working with riders across various classes, and… ## [The Horizon Cavorite X7 Isn't Your Average eVTOL, It Could Replace Helicopters](https://www.autoevolution.com/news/the-horizon-cavorite-x7-isn-t-your-average-evtol-it-could-replace-helicopters-258845.html) _2025-10-08 · autoevolution (Benny Kirk) · autoevolution news (Interviews)_ You might be tempted to think all eVTOLs are the same, that they all look like oversized RC drones, designed by tech bros who've never so much as sniffed an aeronautics laboratory. Maybe that is how lots of eVTOL concepts begin, the ones that never get off the ground, at least. But one ex-RCAF pilot started a company promising something so much more. Meet Brandon Robinson, CEO and co-founder of… ## [Charlie Brings Joy to the World, One Hot Wheels at a Time](https://www.autoevolution.com/news/charlie-brings-joy-to-the-world-one-hot-wheels-at-a-time-257788.html) _2025-09-20 · autoevolution (Dragos Chitulescu) · autoevolution news (Interviews)_ My buddy Mike sent me an unexpected message this morning. He went out and bought another Mazda RX-8. I think this is his eighth one, I've lost track. Meanwhile, I'm on the verge of buying the red RHD model he still has in his garage. I don't plan on praising the Hiroshima Screamers again today, but bear with me for a moment. I had a very exciting interview recently, but couldn't find the time to… ## [Can't Stand Stinky Diesel Trucks? Meet the Electric ZM Trucks Changing Everything](https://www.autoevolution.com/news/can-t-stand-stinky-diesel-trucks-meet-the-electric-zm-trucks-changing-everything-257694.html) _2025-09-18 · autoevolution (Benny Kirk) · autoevolution news (Interviews)_ Is there any automotive medium as detested as box trucks? They stink like diesel, double park on city streets, and get so covered in graffiti, you'd figure there's no way there's not something illicit in the back. But what can you do if you're trying to change the narrative on what's likely the most hated vehicle on America's roads? You ask an Amsterdammer, of course. Meet Joost de Vries, former… ## [Meet Claude, an AI assistant (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/heSp2nkouoa5) _2025-09-18 · **Sponsored**_ Chat with Claude at claude.ai — a conversational AI assistant. ## [The Flat-Four 'Hemi' You Never Knew: The Ominous Race Motor That Costs North of $250K](https://www.autoevolution.com/news/the-flat-four-hemi-you-never-knew-the-ominous-race-motor-that-costs-north-of-250k-256134.html) _2025-08-22 · autoevolution (Razvan Calin) · autoevolution news (Interviews)_ In Porsche's long and storied history, few mechanical creations have reached the mythical status of the four-cam flat-four engine. Born in the crucible of motorsport in the early 1950s, it was a purpose-built weapon for speed, precision, and endurance. The Fuhrmann engine-named after its developer, Ernst Fuhrmann-powered icons like the 550 Spyder, the 356 Carrera, and the 904 Carrera GTS, machines…
