Default Die cast dork

I know some of you will think I'm pretty dorky but I've been collecting diecast cars for a while now and was wondering if anyone else does. My g/f and I live together and in "MY" room I have all of my die cast stuff. Most of them are camaros but I'm starting to add a few stangs to the collection.

Favorite pieces: ertl 1/18 Unrestored 1969 camaro 1 of 599. (top right)

John Deere 4 wheel drive center pivoting tractor. (its about 14 inches long and I used to play with it constantly when I was a little kid. It is in pretty good shape and my brother has one to match.)

That's only about half of it, I have been wanting to get an Auto Art brand 1/18 mach 1 but the cheapest one I have found on ebay is 55 bucks. Thats a little much for a diecast that is relatively new and not very rare.

I have a collection of game consoles and Halo figures but I dont keep the Halo stuff in the boxes plan on putting them up around the game room. I know that the boxes add to the value but not doing it as an investment but enjoyment. Here is a pic of a couple of them.

Thats cool. I wish I had a gameroom. I just like having a room in the house that feels "manly" (minus throw pillows and pictures of each other.) I keep all of my crap in that room, die cast, starting lineup figs, simpsons figs, guitars, and my piece of crap sleepin couch. We usually watch movies in there. It is set up pretty nice for a small room, its even complete with a microwave in the entertainmaent center. I hate getting up to cook anything while I'm watching a movie.

Take a look at the plastic sleeve in the solenoid and make sure its not dirty or broken causing it to not move. Too many to count Im my family's blockbuster.
