Some nice ones posted on here -- I especially love that late-50's Ford truck with the flame paint job!
I've spent more than my fair share of time looking for cool Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars -- how can you go wrong at 99-cents apiece?
A co-worker of mine is a big collector of 1/64 NASCAR cars and he has them lined up on a shelf in his office like their coming down the main straight away for the start of a race. When I wander by his office and see he's not around, I like to sneak in and create "massive car wreck scenarios" where the cars are skidding around and toppling end-for-end!
If he ever catches me in the act, he'll probably go "postal" on me......

its actually the same truck as the one next to it, with a little "paint work" i did as a kid, AKA white out, so you probably dont want it
tint the windows and paint the front bumper and you've got a deal! lol

Do you have them in anyway secured? I can see myself bumping into the desk, and having them all roll off. :o

I still can, the white out wont damage the paint, plus its really old i could probably just flake it all off with my finger nail

Problem...what problem? That's brand loyalty! 
I've got a few more boxes full of unopened Mustang Matchbox/Hot Wheels/Johnny Lightning cars still in storage in Indiana. Here I've just got a few 1:18 scale cars, some other Mustang stuff, and even Mustang cologne from Walmart.
Disclaimer: The purse with the lady on it in the first pic is something that my fiance inherited from her Grandma. And the monkey hat and silly string in the 2nd pic are to distract my nephew when he says, "Uncle Jon...I want open...play with cars!".
