Y’all are probably sick of seeing these posts by now, but I’ve changed my philosophy of my future large HAWL. Previously I was wanting to get the best diecast 1/18 for the money I have, but that’s not quite right. To quote Enginerrrrrr’s comment:
Personally, if that Aventador is your dream car.... you need to get it. It will make you happy every time you see it and you won’t ever regret it.
With this I realized something: It’s not how good the car is, it’s to get one that tugs at your heartstrings or has a special memory for you. So with that, I come back with these choices. You can look at the cars and decide what you guys like best, but I’ll also say why they’re special to me.
Porsche 918 Spyder. I’ve seen 6 of them and they never fail to impress. My favorite of the “holy trinity” of hypercars. I’ve also seen it in this silver color, so it makes it even closer to my heart. To be combined with...
BMW M3 DTM. My favorite gen. M3, other than that no real relevance. It just looks cool. Together $195 shipped.
Lamborghini Aventador Roadster. I loooove the Lambo Aventador, especially the Roadster and the 50th Anniversary. This is the best color combo out there. White with black accents and red brakes. Amazing. $190 shipped.
Lamborghini Aventador 50th Anniversary. Remember what I just said about the Aventador? This is the best color for the 50th Anniversary. Sold by our friend Patrick/Model Citizen Diecast for approx. $190 shipped.
Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB. The standout. The misfit. Or is it? My collection consists of luxury cars or sports/super cars. I’m a fan of these big luxury cars, and this is the biggest, most luxurious of them all. This model is 13 inches of value as well. These usually cost upwards of $250 but this is a steal at $194 shipped.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe. See the above reasons. This one isn’t as big but has a great color combo of dk. grey and brown. Also has a split tailgait, so that’s something.
