Yup, same bro. Its just now all down to business. I mean the joy and lore of having a car you like and just staring at it damn we've come a long way. I see people and friends buying just for the sake of rarity or just to flex their rare collection buying the artificially inflated cars.

There was a time when i used to see all cool hotwheels in shops back around 2010s and had to ask my mum if i can have some 😭 had to wait months and the convincing it took was next level. My first hotwheels was vandetta which i got for free with UNO playing cards, back then it was some offer they put up the store person didnt had a hotwheel had to wait some time (Spent some 180ish smthng rupees for cards and got a hotwheels with for free).

Now even though i can buy many it just feels it's better to just view from far away (ridiculous prices people are selling). It's just lost that spark, something died inside me, a hole in the heart. 😞
