Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Kmart CARS Day Rubber Tire Checklist
In case you need to keep track of what has been released with rubber tires – and of course, Kmart CARS Day 4 commences it’s month-long celebration on Monday with the opening ceremony & ritual of today’s generation – rushing onto the internet, followed by much rejoicing, drinking of ale and non high frutose sodas, dances in the infield and weather permitting – nude hailing of the rubber tree plant – (singing of the “Rubber Tree Plant” song now optional after last year’s marathon session resulted in madness). As you can see, I’m still recovering. But on the bright side, I have found most of my clothes.

Ladies and Gents,
I have to ask…which cars on day 1?
I think I have answer….correct me if I am wrong at least don’t tear me a new one! A “DAH!” moment.
39 View Zeen, 63 Transberry Juice, 82 Shiny Wax, 92 Sputter Stop and 93 Sparemint…all with “hard” plastic tires.

P.S. I call it the “Quick – Hide it under the staircase, close the door and put the stuff back in front area”.
Great List Thanks MET!

Charlie Checker
Dinoco Chick Hicks

“Hidden from wife” Hilarious! Good think she doesn’t look under our bed very often, or in our storage closet, or in my trunk
🙂
Can you add the Cars that HAVEN’T been released with rubber tires to the grid? To make it easier to see what hasn’t been released and to speculate for future CARS days?
(MET: Next checklist 🙂 ).
I think this what you are looking for:

Here are the 12 — if I were a Las Vegas bookie, I’ve ordered them in decreasing order of what I think are their odds of release. I’m also making a guess at their dates of release:
Kmart Day 5 (October 2010)
25. Nitroade
26. Shiny Wax
27. View Zeen
28. Tank Coat
29. Tach-O-Mint
30. Sidewall Shine
Kmart Day 6 (June 2011)
31. Lightning McQueen
32. Chick Hicks
33. The King
34. Faux Wheel Drive
35. Gask-its
36. Apple iCar
(MET: Looks pretty accurate plus a couple more McQueen’s should just about round it out).
I will change Tach-O-Mint for Faux Wheel Drive….save the best ones for last 😉
I would too if Toys R Us would ever do another 5-for-1 promotion! 🙂
Out of that list, I’m only missing No Stall. Kmart Cars Day 2 was the best one so far. KCD3 was the worst one… 🙁 Can’t wait to KCD4
With all of the Kmart Cars out there I would think that No Stall would be a fairly common car
yeap. pretty common. Although the prices vary:

Any reason why Tow Cap is a purple 2?
Also, if anyone is intersted I’m creating an online database to keep track of your collection with pictures of each car and release history. I’ve been keeping mine in a Word document and thought it would be nicer to be online. This will be a free service.
The best card backs are still from Kmart Day 1, with each car having it’s own graphic of that racer, instead of the more “generic” offerings in the later events.
Hi Met, Vinyl Toupee #76 and Trunk Fresh #34 comes in the kmart 3 and not 2.
They have the clear window on the back card typical of Kmar 3.
(MET: Whoops, fixed).
Reminder: I will be getting some Kmart Cases for people overseas if they want them. I will not be buying any extras. Each case ordered I will donate 1.00 to Cars Cares Salazar Family Fund, and then 1.00 again when your case ships out to you overseas. You will recieve an email copy of the donations made in your name.
I will be closing the buyers list at 12 midnight May 16th, 2010

“Rubber Tree Plant” Song???
I wonder if thats a lost Led Zepplin or lost Beatles tune?
LOL!! Good one!
It’s actually a Frank Sinatra song called “High Hopes”. Here’s a part of the lyrics:
Next time your found, with your chin on the ground
There a lot to be learned, so look around
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he’ll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can’t
Move a rubber tree plant
But he’s got high hopes, he’s got high hopes
He’s got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time your gettin’ low
’stead of lettin’ go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant
pretty cute Met
People OPEN these?!?!?
pretty… and for the OCD …. alphabetical order too
Hidden from (Wife). Met I never knew you were sexist (just kidding). What about hidden from (Husband). Not that I have that problem. Since we are both collectors, we can’t complain when the other spends money on toys. Actually, we help each other out all the time 🙂
(MET: Sorry, didn’t have room to fit in all the designation so it’s in parens to indicate, you fill in. 🙂 ).
That last column makes we want to call my doctor and make an appoinment for a quick “ouch patient” procedure…haha.
Met, You know the categories of collecting all too well. –So funny and yet so true!
Secret storage? Really? 🙂
Really. Or maybe its more like “Dont ask Dont tell”
