I had a few Hot Wheels cars, but had more fun with a Tyco slot car set I had. The cars were pretty interesting. I remember I had Richard Petty's Charger, but there was a Lola T70 and a Porsche 917.
I want to play with Hot Wheels

Makes me feel there should have been a Dukes Of Hazard/Scooby Doo crossover at some point.
I have the first set of wacky packages somewhere around here. I think they’re from 1978? I’m gonna check. LolRemember Wacky Packages?
I was just digging through some stuff and found this lone survivor.

I stand corrected! That one you have there is from the first set, I have it too

Haven't seen any wacky package stickers in years. Back in the day I had a whole line stuck to the wall of my bedroom.
Here's a fun Hot Wheels channel, this restoration shows the book of some values these cars have (around 4min in) ... Custom Shop level pricing.

Aw ya. My buddy had a slot car track, and we all would go to his place with our cars and race.

I think this is the one I had here. As far as the extra Lola and Porsche, that definitely sounds like my father was firmly in charge of spare car purchases.

Dad bought us Matchbox, then Hot Wheels. He ended up keeping them long after we moved on. He had a master plan for them. In his retirement he eventually did model railroad club and used them for his track-scapes.

Any Hot Wheels i had were subject to extreme modification using a candle, wood-burning tool and paint.
This is the only one i have left:

Hot Wheel Blues - Festering Ear Willie
My baby left me
Took my Hot Wheels
My baby left me
Oh the sadness I feel
My baby left me
She took the orange track
My baby left me
She ain't never comin' back!
I got the Hot Wheel Blues....
While other colors were also produced, the pink one was the rarest of the bunch. It's now owned by collector Bruce Pascal who boasts the most expensive Hot Wheels car in the world and its value keeps going up. Currently, you can expect to pay $175k for one of these toys.

The only one of those they make is the Bluesmobile.
Can I impress you with
the Karate Kid
Family Vacation
or Ferris Beuler?
Name some more.
My friends on Facebook didn’t seem to care when I posted these there. Maybe the group here will have some appreciation for them.

Moms in our neighborhood used to tear our asses up with those orange track segments when we'd done something egregious. You'd run, boy!

I loved those things. We always called them Wacky Packs or Wacky Pack stickers. Now, who still has any old Mad Magazines. “What, me worry?”

Yes can confirm that should me or my siblings should step out of line ,the orange track across the back or legs would restore appropriate behavior right quick!

Oh, Since we are being children:
A Crockwork Lemon and The Poop-Side-Down Adventure were in that one as well. It's refreshing to see grown adults behave like children sometimes!!
