The folks over at Borla must be grinning from ear to ear over their licensing deal with Mattel and Hot Wheels. Their brand was placed on the one of the hottest castings in the #’83 Silverado, in the hottest adult collector line: #Car Culture. And, just before that […]
After 14 months of waiting, the 2017 #RLC #sELECTIONs #’66 Chevy Super Nova is here! For folks to think that is an absurd amount of time to wait for a Hot Wheels car that you ordered, hear me out. The RLC sELECTIONs are made to order — yes, […]
