"Let me tell you just some cool little side stories about some of these matchbox cars. There are so many interesting facts, aside from the fact that these matchbox cars collectors are freaks. They come in all the time, their all ages, and here's these grown men these big guys, Do you happen to have a nineteen fifty seven t-bird? It's very interesting to watch these people. And like I told you I think their trying to get over their, mother issues because mom threw them all away. But back to this, what I wanted to mention was that they also had an addition called a sizzler ok. The original matchbox cars where on the track, the orange tracks remember you would set them, oh you don't remember probably unless your my age, Expert Villagers, you would remember the little tracks that go around, they would wound all together. It was so cool because you would take your little woosh, wasn't that cool? And that's what they do, that's what they where made for, running on tracks. Then they came up with a car, I don't think I have one, but we'll pretend this is a sizzler, and the sizzler's where made I think seventy seven where the sizzler's and I think the sizzler's actually you didn't have to go like this. You couldn't use your imagination. The seventies was over for imaginations so they had electrified tracks and they would go on there and you didn't even have to go like this. They'd do their own thing. And those where the sizzler's. So they're kind of collectible. They got, they had juice gas engines with electric charges, and those are the sizzler's. You know what, I find them boring because you didn't even push them. What do you think of that? So, I'm a matchbox red liner myself and I recommend that to you to."

on 2/14/2009 I have a massive collection of die-cast cars. I started collecting them 13 years ago. I have them in various sizes and keep them in protective cases.
