Infested

When I was just a wee young lad, I had quite a few Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars.

(Actually, I still have them...somewhere in mom's attic.)

I don't remember how exactly it came about that I now only collect one particular style of car, or why I decided that I was going to go with the Volkswagen beetle - but ever since my pre-teen years I've only collected that particular car, and only in the Johnny Lightning/Hot Wheels/Ertl/Matchbox size.

This was actually a good idea as far as collecting goes. It kept the interest going and it kept the cost down. And even though it's more difficult to find just one type of car, I've still managed to piece together a sizable collection. I have one that's a clock, two that transform into robots, several that have working lights and sirens, one that lifts off the frame, and some with opening hoods and some that change colors depending on the temperature.

Many of them are still in their original packaging.


I have most of them displayed at the Granite Falls Public Library in the display case they have. I had to build 3 additional shelves and still couldn't fit the entire collection in...but it was colorful and looked sweet!

(Val - the one that's actually yours is in there. If you can identify it I'll give it back.) :)

I then added a can of Raid and a can of Hot Shot bug fogger, and placed a sign inside the display with what info I felt like including about myself. (My name and city.)

On the sign, I also added the title for the display - Infested
(Hopefully a few people make the connection.) :)

I should have David swing down and take a picture.
