What's so funny?

I have been buying more Hot Wheels than capsule toys lately, mostly because I can more easily find new ones. And I love cars, so there's that.

I especially love funny cars. My Hot Wheels collecting niche is models with movable parts. Hoods that open, parts that come off (purposely or not), and funny cars. They are the best because the whole body lifts up revealing the chassis below. And even this pint size version conjures up the smell of burning rubber and gasoline. Mmmmm.

Drag racing is also amazing, and if you have never experienced it, I highly recommend it. If you are a local, the NHRA (National Hot Rod Association) sponsors national Dragster Challenges and you can see one at Indianapolis Raceway Park on May 25th.

And if you have never seen a funny car in action, here is a little treat from me to you:



John Force is my favorite drag racer. I had the pleasure of meeting him once, and he is the nicest guy, and seems to love his job. And why shouldn't he?!?
