My first car was by Mattell and it came with a hotwheels track.  :D
I could never get it to loop the loop though.   :-\

Mattell's hometown was Hawthorne, CA.  Where I grew as a little kid.  On weekends me and my friends would go look in the trash cans at Mattells.  I remember when we found the Hot Wheels before they weree even on the market.We found pieces of the cars.  I remember the first bottom piece I found had Dereo (something like that)  When they finally came out I had everything they made.  There was a testing building and they used the kids in the neighborhood to test all the toys they made.  I test out some cars and other stuff but nothing big like Hot Wheels or Barbie shit or whatever.  It was neat though

My first car was a 84 T-bird, 2 door coupe with the 5.0L.  That car lasted 3 months before I blew the motor.  Then I got an 89 Mazda B2200 that lasted about 5 years.

i had a piece of shit 91 rs camaro with a v6 2 months later i put a 468 bigblock v8,turbo 400 trans , a 12 point roll cage,and took out all the interior sanded the paint off and painted it primer black.the car would run low 10 second 1/4 mile on street tires but i could only use 110 octane gas or higher and thats over $4 a gallon and it only got 5 miles to a gallon, could not drive it in the rain and no way would it pass the inspection test so my dad eventually made me sell it.

When we were little kiddies we used to ride our bikes to the Tonka factory and we would find all sorts of neat things there as well. We'd get great stickers to decorate our bikes with. We had real pimped out rides back then. Stickers on the banana seats, streamers from the handlebars, baskets in front, ...and hockey cards in the spokes. Sweet rides.  :P
