What is the Favorite Car of Children? [Daily Discussion]

I know many of you are too young to have kids interested in Hot Wheels, but even if you are 16 you probably KNOW OF a child or two. What's their favorite casting? Or type of casting? What do they get excited about?

Me, being a grizzled, greying old man, has a son about to turn seven. He has grown up with diecasts. After his mother and I separated when he was two I would always buy a new diecast for him when he came to visit on my weekends. During those early days I purchased a lot of Matchbox for him (Citroen DS, Mazda2, Volvo P1800). In fact, so many so that, he now refers to all diecasts as Matchbox cars.

Anyway, his favorite "Matchbox" car of the moment is the 'Scion RACECAR'. Which is actually our Tomica Toyota 86

He also has really likes the Whip Creamer II and once tried to get me to buy 11 of the same model (What are these LaFerraris?). These fantasy cars have actually grown on me a bit, especially when I discovered you could slide back the roof.
