Hot Wheels Car Culture "Door Slammers" Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA/'70 Ford Escort RS1600/BMW 2002

I got weak today.  Swung by Hot Wheels at Target while there to pick up oven mitts.  These weren't new releases, but it was the first time I saw Alfa Giulia on the pegs & I've had a crush on this real life car for long time.

I also really liked three other (real life)cars like the Alfa Romeo above:  BMW 2002, Mk I Escort & Datsun 510, and imagine that, those four cars are in this set, also Porsche 911.



I didn't buy this 2002 though.  Not a fan of this casting.  Always looked awkward & ugly-ish to me.  Escort casting looks good, Alfa looks good & 510's popular for reason.  Beautiful casting that one.

This Escort is the one I kept on seeing at Target.  While it's done beautifully, I was able to fight it off until today.  It came home with me tonight, along with the Alfa.

I actually put the cars back on the pegs, because they didn't have the Datsun 510(a shocker).... but then, I was like, don't you already have one of those?  AND I like this one lot better anyway.  :p
