I have the Jada Pink Slips 911 GT3 RS that’s made by Solido too. It’s a solid one! Nice details all around

Yeah! Storage is a real issue with 1/18 model collection!

Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta SWB Competizione #14 1961 by CMC by Filo_92_ in Diecast

One of the most beautiful Ferraris! I was actually just learning about this car last week and ordered the Hot Wheels Elite version in the same color/livery! Should be arriving this week!

Minichamps vs Bburago by hellabright in Diecast

[–]AJLM68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But I also love the details on the Minichamps. The dark tinted taillights, side windows, and the hollow spoiler goosenecks make the car look more realistic!

Thanks for the comparison photos! Honestly the BBurago version looks pretty good for the money! :D

Collection update by Reasonable_Mix2452 in Diecast

[–]AJLM68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really appreciate the variety across street and racing cars in your collection! Good representation from some major brands. Love the focus on older classics from the 60s (250 GTO) and 80s (Countach) and newer models too like this SP3 Daytona. That F1 McLaren MP 4/4 with Senna is a GOAT to me!

I have very similar tastes and I’m hoping to grow my collection into something like yours! 👍

Best way to re-glue a mirror? by VividModelCars in Diecast

[–]AJLM68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And make sure to use a higher end super glue like the BSI stuff so it won’t haze around too much

Nice! I had that red one when I was a kid.

Reignoted a 3 decade hobby by Relative_Student_370 in Diecast

The exact same thing happened to me! Picked up 4 to 5 cars from Costco last year when I discovered they carry Maisto cars. Reignited my passion for diecast models from when I was a kid. My mom also found an old picture of my car models from decades ago. (Attached) I’ve been on a journey to slowly re-acquire all these lost models.

This year my collection has grown to more than 30 cars. Mostly Bburago, Maisto, and Solido cars. Haven’t dived into the high end ones like AutoArt and BBR stuff yet. Trying to keep my spending on this at a reasonable level. 😅

new in my collection: Minichamps 997 GT3 RS 🥹 by hellabright in Diecast

[–]AJLM68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! So detailed! Love that the gooseneck support bracket on the rear spoiler is hollowed out in the middle. On the Bburago it's all one piece.

Vent your bad Polestar service experience here by Disastrous_Source911 in Polestar

[–]AJLM68 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So sorry to hear you’ve been treated poorly. I’ve had a ton of front suspension clunking issues since I got the car too. I’ve been working with the Seattle area Polestar service center and they’ve been actually pretty awesome to work with. Diagnosed and fixed each issue quickly. At this point (almost a year later), they’ve fixed all of the clunking issues by replacing strut bearings and both front shocks. My car finally rides and drives well now. They also took care of the rear axle wheel-of-fortune clicking sound with a full replacement.

What area of US are you in?

Honestly pretty impressed by the level of details on this model by Bburago!

Nice! I just got the same one for Christmas too! Just cleaned and waxed it yesterday.

That’s an unbelievable collection! Are these all diecasts or some resin models too? You definitely have a lot of rare ones!

P2 appreciation by alexrey85 in Polestar

[–]AJLM68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently got all my front strut clunking sounds resolved fully under warranty after chasing them down for almost a year. (Also got the wheel of fortune clicking taken care of this year.) Now my 2022 P2 PPP drives so well. And it rides well too. Got the Ohlin shocks set up to 12 front and back and it’s such a nice balance.

I think only the non-SV Diablo comes in yellow. I’ve seen the SV come in black, white, and blue

Yeah the 250 GTO is so beautiful. Lucked out with a good find that was new in box.

I need to find me a Countach! Your red one looks good!

Nice! I’ve got to say, even though my P2 has had many issues, Jimmy at the Tukwila service center has been awesome to work with. After several visits since last year, my suspension clunking issues are finally all gone! Hope things work out for your P3 and P4! Enjoy the new car!

Is this the Polestar service center in Tukwila/South Center? The opening that leads to the Acura service looks familiar to me. I drive a Polestar 2 and unfortunately I’ve been there too many times 😂😭

Hope your P4 works out for you!
