    Sorry for the poor quality, camera phone at work doesn't provide the best shots. On a side note, went to Freddy's on lunch for some pens and on an offv chance found another Phil's 288 GTO. I think I should stop "looking" for cars because I find more when I check the stock while I'm shopping for something else haha

    I grabbed one of these in blue the other day, and a blue one of the same brand in 1:43 at TRU. I also nabbed 3 of the Phil's 288 GTO's at Target (unsigned), and 2 gold DeLoreans.

    Keep an eye out for the Garage series 288 GTO about to land on the pegs.
    The 2nd variation is black.

    Every now and then I read you guys reply and I feel like I'm from another world...!!! Where on earth do you find all these 1:64 Hotwheels?? We got Target here, two of them. One Toys R Us, three Wal-Marts, and three K-Marts, one Walgreens, 50 Longs Drugs, and yes I mean 50 Drug Stores, one Glenn's Hotwheels Collectible Store, one Toys N Joys, one Navy Exchange, two AAFES, and one huge Stadium for Flea Market
    None of them has the Phils Garage 288 GTO! Sure they have other Phils Garage cars, there's tons of them, but the one thing I want they don't have. They also have Larrys Garage cars and there's a lot of those too. Regular 1:64 Hotwheels they ain't got nothing. Gold DeLorean What!!! I have yet to see the yellow 370Z, red Scuderia, matte red Veyron, & the Speed Machine orange Saleen S7 and red Ferrari 599XX.

    You folks are very lucky. Don't ever think of moving here in Hawaii. We got nothing but the ocean. And I mean nothing.!! Have a great day!

    Unfortunately I have yet to find the red Scuederia though I now have a couple other people looking for one for me. If i knew someone else wanted a 370Z I'd have picked another up, see tons at Walmart. As for the 599XX I don't think it's out yet but it should be out in the next wave

    Hey, I've got 3 Wallys, 2 Targets, K-Mart, various autoparts stores, Hot Wheels racks in every one of 6 grocery stores and I haven't seen half the Speed Machines I want, or ANY of the 2010 Garage series cars, let alone the GTO, and I live in Tennessee.

    All of them, they are a smaller company (formed by old KenMor guys in the beginning) but I run into them down at Rice University and other owners, they took some of our market, in the beginning....

    Show him the pic, and see what he says! LOL!

    Went to Wal-Mart & Target and didn't find a darn thing. The Targets around here seem to stop carrying the Phil's Garage cars.

    On my way home from work I stopped by our drug store. While waiting in line I noticed a small area in the corner that has Hotwheels cars. I was just curious so I checked it out. I was looking and looking.....umm nothing new!! But when I looked all the way on the bottom I found this...! TORQUE TWISTER. It is not a Ferrari or Lamborghini but it looked so cool so I picked it up because it was the only one. Hey for $1.09 not bad!

    Nice find! Looks a bit like the Giugiaro Mustang.

    Sometimes drug stores or a grocery are the best opportunity to see a "fresh box" opened up......

    Not always, but sometimes!!

    Since everyone else has tried a wheel swap on HW cars I thought I'd give it a try. Stole Apex's idea of the Tesla wheels though I wouldn't even begin to think about trying to paint a car. First shot is racking up the Tesla to remove the wheels haha, 2nd shot is end result. Now that I see how it's done, I can explore the options with other cars
