I have always suspected him of "cherry picking" the good stuff

Aw c'mon, they don't do that !!!

I collected all that **** for years ... and did like most other collectors, put a few pieces out on display - for nobody's enjoyment but my own - and shoved all the rest in boxes, seldom to see the light of day. Then I realized what a stupid waste of time and money all that **** is. There is very little enjoyment in the possession of the items, don't take it out of the package - it'll lose its value, don't touch it in case you drop it. Nope, its all about the "hunt", nothing more.

To a certain extent I agree with that. I have thousands of them in cartons which only get seen when I shuffle the crates around.
They are not much more than dust collectors.

for nobody's enjoyment but my own

I have a similar opinion about drag racing nowadays. I have spent so much time and money doing it for the pleasure of others.....and realised that none of them contribute to the actual breakages and repairs & maintenance. So I don't do it anymore.

Still no SuperBee after looking last night, but I did find these. I kind of like them but I just can’t find myself buying one

Yeah, thats the set I would have bought except for the coke decal on the car.
Edit: I just noticed they label that car as a "Hemi", tho it's clearly an A12 440 6bbl coupe. Oops.

The first Challenger above hit the shelves this week in Savannah, Georgia. I didn't see the limited edition Challenger of course.
