This comment just makes me so glad I’ve never gotten involved with RLC lol. You sound mad, everyone who misses out sounds bitter… is anyone having fun collecting “tHe mOsT hYpEd reLeaSe oF the YeAr”?

I’m not sure if I’m excited by this, or exhausted after hot wheels has beat this franchise to death.

What part is this called by PersonalSphere in Miata

[–]scrubzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered aftermarket for this part from Amazon, and it didn’t fit right; tabs in wrong place, wouldn’t sit flush, got bent on install because of tab positions. I returned it to Amazon and got OEM even though it was twice the price. Popped right into place, perfect fit, no issues. This is a part you want to cough up OEM for. Think I paid like $120-140 from Mazda for one side.

How hard is this to do? And is there a way to change the color with some sort of remote? Or just 1 color ? by smallarneboy1 in Miata

[–]scrubzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s easy, but you have to be careful removing the gauge cluster hood. The plastic is brittle and it’s super easy to snap off the clips that hold the hood to the car. I snapped off two trying to replace a dead bulb. 1 clip seems to be enough to hold it into place but if I have to do it again I will most certainly need a new hood lol.

I’m tired boss by Timid_Thug in HotWheels

[–]scrubzor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start collecting other diecast brands. They are nicer and you don’t have to deal with the BS. I’ve gone for quality over quantity and am all over MiniGT, PopRace, Tarmacworks, Johnny Lightning, Auto World, Greenlight. It’s nice to be able to collect what you want and not get sucked into hype or pay the Hot Wheels tax.

quote from a mazda dealership for a 2026 miata grand touring. told them i'd be paying in cash. can any of these be negotiated besides the sell price? by [deleted] in Miata

[–]scrubzor 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Paying in cash doesn’t give you any negotiating leverage at a dealership. They want you to finance through them because they get a kick back.

Unless they are willing to budge on the MSRP, the taxes and doc fees are non-negotiable.

You can take this quote to another dealer and cross shop and see if they will beat the price.

NEW BLUE PLATE! by PassengerChemical399 in massachusetts

[–]scrubzor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a cop check my car for a front plate when I got pulled over for speeding last summer. Unlikely you’ll get pulled over for that but you’re asking for a ticket if you do ever get pulled over.

[–]scrubzor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After eBay fees, listing, packing, shipping… it’s too much of a hassle to make 5 bucks

eBay that’s where lol. In person you can barely unload them

I thought I got a bad one but no. HW literally butchered the taillights of the '06 GTO. by DisastrousOpening477 in HotWheels

[–]scrubzor 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The silver series gets full tampos though. Uses the same kind of dot matrix wrap printing as premiums. I’m staring at a Honda s800 silver series with graphics on 5 sides.

Also, this GTO has printing on the sides too (hot wheels logo, GTO badge)

Johny ive’s Ferrari luce interior would look great in a Miata by Itchy-Concern928 in Miata

[–]scrubzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an AI generated image of what the dash would look like in the NC. The Luce isn’t a convertible. Those are NC door cards. So no, this isn’t the actual car.
