What about these? Came in gumball machines.

Buy one of these, put safety glasses on and close yourself and a few friends in a windowless room with hard floors. Enjoy a smoke. Remove supplies. Turn lights off and let the show and enjoyment begin. We did it on shrooms. But crazy cheap fun for my crowd.z5d8usnor1101.jpgshopping.jpg

Had to post 1 more lol.
Hotwheels Sizzlers where fun as a kid.
The pics below are the Mustang Boss 302.
I had a mint condition rainbow of all the colors of the Mustang Boss 302
I collected years ago as an adult. I ended up reselling them all but a very rare one.
The rare one that I still own is a solid black Mustang Boss 302. The reason for the
rarity is they did not come in black like the one I have. I had two but I sold one and kept
the better one that is in absolute mint condition. The reason for the black underneath
the paint is the Sizzlers came in a factory molded beige colored plastic (such as the one pictured below) and
then the factory colored paint pink, green, brown etc..was added to the cars. So after seeing many
scratched, banged up one's noticing only beige underneath the paint, I seen a pic of a certain one that
seemed to have a just a bit of black underneath the factory paint so I purchased it and took off the
paint and low and behold it was black underneath the factory paint. The black car had a few small scratches
so I wanted to see if I can find a mint so I Ebay searched, searched and searched until I found a green
colored one that had a couple paint scratches so I enlarged the picture and seen what looked to be black
underneath so I bought it stripped the paint and it was mint black underneath the paint. I was excited so
I sold the near mint one I had for a couple hundred dollars on Ebay and kept the mint which I still have.
I would post a pic but all my rare collectibles, Redline Hotwheels, that Black Hotwheels Sizzler, meteorites,
Titanic boarding passenger cabin ticket etc...are at my best friends house. When I moved from my last place of 20 years
I ended up at my best friends house for 9 months then I found the right place for me (house) moved in but
didn't bring my collectibles with me so they are still at me best friends house. Eventually I will bring my collectibles
home. For now, they are safe and sound so all is good. Once I bring my collectibles home I will post the very rare
Hotwheels Sizzlers Black Mustang Boss 302. Only 2 known to exist and only
the 1 in mint that I have.

This Googled pic is of a common plastic factory molded beige Mustang Boss 302 with the paint worn or taken off.
No factory paint on it, red, green, pink, brown etc.. just the bare plastic.

This one below is a random Mustang Boss 302's. Looks nice but the very rare solid all black one I have looks
helluva lot better imo. Sorry for the long read once again. The pic don't do the car justice. Anyone here have any Sizzlers?
Try and picture the brown one below solid black with better back rims, black windows, bumper, louvers and spoiler.
Mint black on black and mean as hell.

Was Mom's talons digging into the soft flesh of the inner side of the upper arm. I still have scars almost 5 decades later. And shall never repeat the behavior that provoked.
I feel ya buddy, when I was about 10 or 11 my mom cracked me in the head
with one of those old school metal ice trays with solid ice and some of the ice cubes
flew out and also left a big dent on the bottom of the metal tray.

Kinda makes me happy for cheap and engineered to fail. Made in the USA just keeps giving a beating.
