Thursday would be the day, two days before the event. The app mentioned it was in … Continue reading UPS lost my GameStop case.
I figured there would be a lot of Ford/Ferrari content this week, considering the movie will be here this weekend. I decided I wanted to join the fray as well. I could race them, but I have one track and why start now? What I can do is list my favorites, in true #lamleyhype fashion. … Continue reading Here are my Five Favorite Hot Wheels Fords & Ferraris.

I say this because many times I will hear comments about how I … Continue reading Preview: There is more to the Hot Wheels R34 Skyline & ‘62 Chevy Pickup Convention Exclusives than you might think.

The Fast & Furious Off-Road might be the raddest.
