Re: "Diecast Collecting"
I agree it would be awesome to have one!
Did a wheel swap with a Mini Countryman.'
It looks mean with those mags on it.
I want to get down to Cleveland to get a few different paints.
Have a 70 Roadrunner that needs dark red metallic and I think the Impala needs dark blue.....

I do most of my auto parts shopping at Advance Auto Parts as they're closest, but in terms of small stores, O'Reilly can't be beat in their diecast selection. Dollar General seems to have dropped Matchbox and cut back on Hot Wheels here locally after most of the stores remodeled, so looks like O'Reilly may be becoming a regular haunt for me--but I haven't been in my nearest one once.
