The Dodge FREAKIN’ Viper! Oooh yes. This is the car I wanted as a child, and still want to this day. Back in 1992, when the Dodge Viper hit showrooms across the US, I used to make my parents drive past a certain Dodge dealership any chance we […]
Its no secret that I love the Hot Wheels #Mini Cooper casting as I always feature the new ones here at OTD. Yes, I know I still call it by its previous name as its been the Morris Mini for years now, but its the one I prefer […]
