SAY HI TO Christine (& Micah)
SIGNIN NAME? christine
BIO?
I am a graphic designer and a stay-at-home mom. I have a 3 yr. old boy who loves to play with cars and legos. We started buying cars as special prizes when we were potty training him. Needless to say… it worked like a charm. I found this site when I was looking for all the cars with their numbers listed. Now I enjoy driving around car hunting and trading cars with people from all around the world. Thank you Met for this wonderful website.
WHEN DID YOU START?
May 2008
WHAT WAS THE FIRST CAR YOU GOT?
Lightening McQueen
HOW LONG BEFORE YOU HAD CAR #2?
A day or two I think… can’t remember.
WHEN DID YOU DECIDE/REALIZE YOU NEEDED MORE THAN ONE?
When I saw the back of the card. Gotta collect them all!
WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU HAD TO GO BIG INTO THIS THING?
When I entered a cool contest and won an awesome book and some fabulous prizes… including the SDCC LSM.
WHAT WAS THE CRAZIEST THING YOU’VE HEARD ABOUT COLLECTING THESE CARS? (NEVER YOU, SOME OTHER PERSON’S CRAZY STORY
That some people would wake up at 4:30 am and stood in the crazy long line on Black Friday just to get Mack with Bumper Save… but only to find out that she could’ve slept 8 more hours and still get that car for the same price… plus find all the new cars and OS.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE CAR?
Mater, DJ, Red… too many.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION?
The new cars from Mater’s Tall Tales… esp. the cars from Mater the Greater and Tokyo Mater. Can’t wait for the modified cars.

I’ve colleced diecasts for a while, but none have had or do have anywhere near the detail and quality these do. I do sell some on eBay, but those are extras, and I ALWAYS offer them here on Take5 first. I live in San Diego, CA.

Lightning McQueen
HOW LONG BEFORE YOU HAD CAR #2?
I got Lightning and Mater together, then had to wait 2 months because I couldn’t find any more.
WHEN DID YOU DECIDE/REALIZE YOU NEEDED MORE THAN ONE?
Two reasons. I saw the back of the card 🙂 and the amazing detail.

These people that constantly drive into foreign countries to find cars… 😉
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE CAR?
I bought a Dustin Mellows off of eBay as trade material, and briefly looked at it before I sent it out, and he is such an awesome car. I want to thank Martin for the quality of all the cars. They’re AWESOME!
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION?
All 12 Piston Cup Racers I don’t have. I’m hoping the launchers,wheelers, and super-detailed variants on Matty will appear soon.
