These are so sick Leo. They blow me away. Like I said in the email, it's funny that your ideas are so ludicrous that they had put it on a Hotwheels instead of a real car! Too cool!!! Check out this blog post I did of my old friend: http://michaelandann...gfolioblog.com/

By the way, Nate, Lydia, and Amrin... Thank you very much for the compliments! I wish I can upload other projects to share. But as noted, I can't reveal anything thats currently on our project board until its public release date (wich may be years from now), But I will tell you that we already have some cool stuff lined up for 2009-2015!!!

Well Tim, your In luck! you can buy one for as little as $1. Seriously! hahahaha... at your local target stores as a Hot Wheel version of it in Spring 2008. Thats as far as that project is going. To bad that cant be a real car! I'd be smashing in it too! Thanx for your comment!

Hello everyone! I got good news in regard to the Honda Race car project... It is officialy in stroes now! This is a collectible series Hot Wheels and are around for a limited time so they are a bit more expensive then the typical Hot Wheel. They run for $2.29 each at Toys "R" Us. This is so exciting for me and to all others who were also a part of this project so I had to share with the world! Check out the picture of the final product. Thank you to everyone!
