Any one play with slot cars? They come up in my searches. I still have all my model motoring and kind of wish I had the room to set it up again. I have alot I mean alot of track.

I was seriously into it growing up with my buddy Sandeep. We were not far from the Aurora factory and a woman that worked there used to get cars with stuff like defects, wrong color etc and we bought them $2 each and just played with them. Now they are 500 cars if like new! Who knew right?

Mom sold mine at a garage sale when I was in my 20's. I bought back into it after E bay started and I had a couple kids. I bought back an erector set, Getaway Chase Game, and a Kenner Girder and Panel Building set to name a few. It cost me hundreds. Mom probably got a few dollars each at the garage sale. :BangHead::BangHead::BangHead::lol:
 
I had a Kenner Girder and Panel Building set but no idea what happened to it. I have tons of HO and N gauge train stuff. I have been thinking of getting rid of all of this stuff.

We had none of that stuff, did not know anyone that did. But we had the woods and rifles!
 
I bought most of my stuff after I left home and I buy what I always wanted. I think that is why I have so many motorcycles.

Don't mean to laugh... Misery loves company so to speak. My Dad sold all my possessions when I went into the Army. Came back from training before my first duty station and all my stuff, furniture and car were GONE.
 
And I have the Eldon set that the Dodge dealers sold back in the 70's I think it was a Charger and maybe a Coronet. I forgot. So I need to look that set up

Ha....my Dad did it to me big time. I would buy a car and because I was a JR. He would sell it and sign the title. He did that to me at least 4 times. When I finally caught on I saw a 70 Cuda' at the local Dodge dealer so when I traded in an old jeep pickup that my Dad had me buy I signed the title with Jr. He couldn't sell my car now. He was furious and went running to the Dodge dealership to get it changed but they wouldn't.
 
I have more than a few sets of 1/32 scale sets. The 66 Stromberg set is my favorite. The 67 Charger set and some more. I have totes of track that could more than around the house
