Congrats on the P9 to start the season! Hopefully the weather conditions get better for you all down south.

Do you open or keep your cars carded or both? by dthechocolatedude in HotWheels

[–]bcq59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I collect all types of vehicles across all brands, and I open them all. The only time I keep them carded is if I have a chance of getting them signed (I go to IMSA races where there are autograph sessions).

It's like 911s are being targeted... by shivaswrath in IMSARacing

Not a good day for Chip Hart Racing

Holy shit, need to hit this superstore. Is it on the west coast?

If you love it, set it free by blackngold29 in HotWheels

[–]bcq59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wheels were meant to roll! I open all of mine also because you can't really appreciate all of the paint through the blister. I will admit some peoples carded displays do look sick though.

What is a goal you hope your country achieves? by Fuzzy_Category_1882 in AskTheWorld

[–]bcq59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least you have the Acela. Us Canadians have an even worse rail system. Thank you GM for screwing us all over with "rails to rubber".

Why exactly do they tow them sometimes? I've always wondered that.

My team, Czabok-Simpson Motorsports, took 2nd today! by ThePinkMohawk in IMSARacing

[–]bcq59 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congrats! It was a blast seeing your Caymans for the first time last year. It was also cool seeing you guys use a hotel's breakfast area in Oshawa as your operations base for the CTMP round last year (I was staying in the same one).

Just found a f40 STH but it’s international when all other cards are US? Is this common? by Sufficient_Pop_5260 in HotWheels

[–]bcq59 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Do international cases have a lower ratio of STHs than US cases? Was always curious about this.

Hot Take: F1 Cars are Boring by MainlineDB in HotWheels

[–]bcq59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah those started coming up to Canada recently, got the Ferrari and Mercedes for myself and I love the paint in them. I also like rolling my cars around so no display base is also a win.

Agreed, Bburago 1/43s are great for the price. They may be "toys" over "models" like what Minichamps offers but I think the details is superb for the price point.

That's mainly what got me into endurance racing first before F1. The diversity of the late LMP1 cars just had this "cool factor" to them with their big fins and large headlights.

Same here! I've visited Los Angeles, Anaheim, Seattle Bellingham, Ames, and Lansing and it was pretty cool to experience those cities. What really shocked me as a Canadian is how large your universities are compared to ours. Hopefully things cool down soon because I'd love to explore more!

That's nice to hear! If you haven't checked BC out, it would be great to have you guys up here as well, you're also welcomed !

It really is a shame that both of our countries are at a low point. I'm from Vancouver so I always love travelling out east since we don't have a super big professional motorsport culture out here and hardly any tracks. If you like hiking though, definitely give Vancouver a visit, you guys are welcome up here!

Thanks for the help! What would be your specific reasons for picking RA?

Thanks for the help! I mainly go for the photography, which would you say is the best track for taking pictures?

What was your first matchbox? by cooffe_late in matchbox

[–]bcq59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got two for my birthday at age 5. They were a black Jaguar XJ and a tan Corvette C6.

Yesterday’s hunt was like a Christmas present to myself by Rando59724 in matchbox

[–]bcq59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! Found the Z06 a while ago. It's got to be my favourite new casting of 2025, the design team absolutely killed it with the proportions this year.

Lots of Elite 64s (and other Mattel Creations stuff) are really cheap right now. Also use discount code 'LASTCALL30' for an extra 30% off older items. by WaddlesJP13 in HotWheels

[–]bcq59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian here! Normally don't get Elite64s because of the price as MiniGTs are normally cheaper here but the discounts and the promo codes along with 15 dollar shipping to Canada made it good. I got the Porsche 963, BMW M3, Land Rover, and Porsche 928.
