Status: offline 		My first car was going to be a Big bear that I saved up all summer for, But when my 2 older brothers took me to the lhs I wound up walking out with a Clodbuster. I have kept it all of these years and kept doing things to it to just keep up with the times look at it now the only thing stock is the wheels and gear boxes. I don't think I will ever get rid of It I still to this day love it.

I even bought it with my own money!!! I am in a wheelchair and have very little leg strength and I got a motorized Jeep for Xmas one year and couldn't use it, so I sold it and my dad took the money to buy me the RC Car.

Status: offline 		My first real car was the Frog. I got it in 1984 when I was 12. I saw one on EBAY last year new in the box for $600 and it was bid on 13 times. That is a classic car for sure.

Status: offline 		About 15 years ago it started with a Marui Big Bear electric truck.
Still got it and works great. Since then I have added to my collection 2 more Big Bear trucks, a Big bRUTE, Kyosho Raider, Kyosho Ultima, RS4 Sport, Duratrax Axis which is almost completely converted to a Nitro Quake (need tires and rims if you got any I will trade good stuff for them), a .15 T-MAXX and recently a beautiful .25 T-MAXX I just got last week.

Everyone of these toys is in working condition by adding gas or batteries. I still have all of them. I have a problem gettin' rid of anything (except girlfriends) I have spent so much time with.
