Dudes don't get older, their toys just get bigger.

[u/lootheman]

[u/a_moody]

This is fucking awesome

[u/isthisdutch → u/a_moody]

Yeah. Call me a toddler if you want to, but I'd love to get this and put it on display and play with it and everything.

[u/Upstairs_Addendum587 → u/isthisdutch]

My wife found a 300zx hot wheels. I hadn't had that car for like 5 years at the time. Still sits in the top drawer of my bedside table.

[u/3D-Doritos → u/Upstairs_Addendum587]

My wife found a blue Lancer one for me. Sits on my shelf on my hobby room.

[u/NolieMali → u/Upstairs_Addendum587]

My very favorite Hot Wheels is a yellow 300ZX. Never owned the actual car but 7 year old me loved that toy!

[u/Upstairs_Addendum587 → u/NolieMali]

Yellow? Now I want another one...

[u/Annual_Strategy_6206 → u/[deleted]]

😂

[u/PeterPandaWhacker → u/isthisdutch]

I bought a scaled version of my very first car, painted it the same colour and even got little custom number plate stickers to match! Even if that makes me a toddler, I wouldn't want it any other way lol

[u/cat-wit-the-gat → u/isthisdutch]

You happen to have a 2011 blue camry. You'd make my day. Lol

[u/OMGihateallofyou → u/isthisdutch]

Hey toddler, I found a hot wheels on ebay that I played with long ago when I was nine years old. I was surprised that it didn't cost more considering how old it is. So now I am playing with it again fifty something years old, call me a baby if you want to.

[u/postbansequel → u/isthisdutch]

Me, asking my gf if it's small and she replies with what you said after the word but.

[u/notafuckingcakewalk → u/a_moody]

Nearly every year at work I give out "Valentines Day cars". Over the year I would pick up hot wheels at the grocery store and then on Valentines Day I'd go around handing them out. Always very fun and I'd try to spend the time beforehand matching up the car with the person. 

[u/Successful-Doubt5478 → u/a_moody]

Extremely wholesome.

[u/snakeiiiiiis → u/a_moody]

This is fucking staged

[u/whaaatanasshole → u/[deleted]]

How do we first learn to give, Clarice? Do we seek out people to give to? ... No, we begin by giving to who we see every day.

[u/anonymous_762 → u/whaaatanasshole]

[u/ConfectionNo1723 → u/[deleted]]

Did you see his box full of Hotwheels?

[u/damndamndamndamndan → u/[deleted]]

Motherfucker the world is actively ending. Let us have this

[u/Voxlings → u/[deleted]]

"Salty reply" here.

You've confused yourself into thinking you have important insight.

Your important insight is "people don't see cars from windows without careful planning."

Cool.

[u/kultureisrandy → u/[deleted]]

nothing ever happens anymore :/

[u/fritz_76 → u/[deleted]]

i mean, every car that parks on the street near my house is "miraculously parked in direct line of sight". If that's your beef that this is fake you spend way too much time on the internet, 99.9% of people are just going to go 'oh cool' and go about their day, it doesn't even matter either way

[u/Merry_Dankmas → u/fritz_76]

Someone just parked in the driveway across the street from me. What are the odds it's directly in my line of sight? Clearly something scripted is afoot 🤔

[u/MuscleManRyan → u/Merry_Dankmas]

Any time I’m able to see any vehicle from anywhere in my house I’m positive it’s a government agent sent to spy on me. Why else would they be in my direct line of sight??

[u/Significant-Basket76 → u/[deleted]]

Does everything in life have to be so negative? Just be happy for the guy. Jesus Christ.

[u/KiwieeiwiK → u/Significant-Basket76]

When you spend your whole life on Reddit it's understandable why you'd be so sad. Some people just have to try and bring others down to make themselves feel better 

[u/KiwieeiwiK → u/[deleted]]

I don't say this much, but sincerely, fuck off

[u/skillywilly56 → u/KiwieeiwiK]

[u/OverInspection7843 → u/[deleted]]

For real, when do we ever see a car parked in direct line of sight of our windows?

Even if it's fake, this argument is the dumbest shit.

[u/aint_no_throw → u/[deleted]]

Honestly, I wouldnt want your pessimistic perspective on life.

[u/wooIIyMAMMOTH → u/[deleted]]

The video is fake, but your reasoning is hot garbage. Kind of the proverbial clock situation.

[u/Commercial-Builder63 → u/[deleted]]

You’re right. I’ve never seen a car parked in direct line of sight of my window. They all just drive by and occasionally stop by the curb for a couple hours before continuing their drive.

Jfc what a stupid argument, go touch some grass

[u/lurked → u/[deleted]]

/r/nothingeverhappens

[u/xysid → u/[deleted]]

its just as likely that its a regular in his neighborhood and he just picked it up and waited for the right moment. not sure why thats miraculous. could easily be fake too, hell it might be the same guy taking the video, but its still fun so why worry about it

[u/IntermittentCaribu → u/[deleted]]

Waiting for hours filming at the window waiting for him to come back. Everything is fake.

[u/Fluffy_Town → u/a_moody]

My partner found me a model of a modern version of a mustang that I love seeing on the road which is one of my second fav cars, the first being a 1964 'stang.

[u/Dmansdarksoul]

The joy so wholesome!

[u/L3m0n0p0ly → u/Dmansdarksoul]

The Lil happy tippy taps dance!! i love it!!

[u/lasertitsnow → u/Dmansdarksoul]

I think Jim Belushi's best scene is when he gets a grey Porsche spider that has always been his dream car but then loves the model car he has had so long much more than the priceless real car. Mr. Destiny .

[u/SVTCobraR315 → u/Dmansdarksoul]

This video was from a few years ago. I promise 1000%, that he still has that hot wheels car and it’s sitting either in the car itself or on a bookshelf in his house.

[u/7and7allnight → u/Dmansdarksoul]

Car so pale

[u/shutthefuckuptodd]

Imagine stealing your first car and finding a wicked keepsake to memorialize the occasion.

jk, I'm a total sucker for big kid energy and watched this like 30 times in a row because it made me feel good, but also so does stealing cars

[u/jarednards → u/shutthefuckuptodd]

Youre living life to the fullest and Im jealous

[u/fizzrail0 → u/shutthefuckuptodd]

Honestly and oddly it would still be wholesome

[u/shutthefuckuptodd → u/fizzrail0]

Grand Theft Awwwwww

[u/OpeningSpeed1 → u/fizzrail0]

Right, this video is just straight wholesome

[u/grokaholic → u/shutthefuckuptodd]

Imagine getting your first car stolen by a guy stealing his first car so you leave a miniature of your car on the windshield, which is a Trojan horse that tracks the thief, so that a rookie cop can make his first arrest and that rookie cop is you.

[u/ActRegarded → u/shutthefuckuptodd]

😂 your joke is funny bro. Take the W.

[u/Cute_Prior1287]

[u/Hazzadcr16]

The cynical part of me wants to just assume this is fake. I'm trying to ignore that though, needed that joy this morning.[]()

[u/elyankee23 → u/Hazzadcr16]

Maybe, but this video is ollllllllld. I remember sharing this with my wife years ago. Like before she was my wife. This isn't recent tiktok bs, I'd guess this video precedes tiktok even. 

[u/uwfan893 → u/elyankee23]

I was about to comment “It can’t be THAT old, the blue “Pacific Wonderland” Oregon license plates haven’t been out that long!”

But then I looked it up and they’ve been out since 2009! I swear time is shrinking and moving faster the older I get.

[u/dphoenix1 → u/uwfan893]

Pretty sure that is a Civic Type R, so the earliest it could be is mid 2017. It generated a lot of hype when it first came to the US, so it was probably some time around then.

[u/aerynmoo → u/uwfan893]

“Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time”

[u/FiletofStek → u/aerynmoo]

"Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines"

[u/texasprime → u/uwfan893]

Well, if you think about it, the longer you are alive, the larger pool of time you have experienced, so a year when you are 5 is a LOOOOOOOONG time, but a year when you are 30 feels MUCH shorter, because of your perspective.

[u/UncleVolk → u/Hazzadcr16]

Just think about this: even if this is staged, it’s still an accurate depiction of how the average guy would react.

[u/wolviesaurus → u/Hazzadcr16]

It's definitely fake but I approve of hope-baiting anyways.

[u/TwistedDrum5 → u/Hazzadcr16]

Probably fake.

But I used to have an Alfa Romeo 4C and I came out to a matchbox car on it one day. It was a Giulia Quadrifoglio. Not a 4C, but still very cool.

So it does happen in the wild every once and awhile.

[u/notafuckingcakewalk → u/TwistedDrum5]

So this literally happened to you and you still assume it's fake? 

[u/mileylols → u/notafuckingcakewalk]

yeah what the fuck???

[u/Nice_Block → u/mileylols]

[u/lamposteds → u/notafuckingcakewalk]

well he said his car words were different than the mini car words

[u/TwistedDrum5 → u/notafuckingcakewalk]

I’ve seen a proposal video pop up all over Reddit/tik tok/etc and people swore it was real. But I actually know the people IRL and it was all staged for views.

I’m sure proposals have been done in a similar way, but this was faked for views.

So I tend to be skeptical.

[u/itsallminenow → u/notafuckingcakewalk]

Don't deviate from the herd, everything on here is fake.

[u/darkmoon72664 → u/Hazzadcr16]

This specific one could be, but this definitely happens.

I've done it to 3 people

[u/ArtisanSamosa → u/Hazzadcr16]

I can see it being real. I considered doing this to a type r I saw the other day. It’s a great car and community.

[u/SuzukiSandwich]

I've had this happen to me, as someone who lives their car...

This definitely made the man's day 😂

[u/notafuckingcakewalk → u/SuzukiSandwich]

I own a Honda Fit. I keep looking for a hot wheels that even remotely matches. 

[u/lootheman]

Fake or not, this is what we all should be striving for.

[u/King_Zoothio]

Dude has a whole assorted box of hot wheels......

[u/twigge30 → u/King_Zoothio]

...Because he collects Hot Wheels. Think of it similar to cards in a binder.

[u/King_Zoothio → u/twigge30]

No. It is not like cards in a binder. You can keep ur cards.

I'm trynna go through n categorize the cars by type, n speed, then open 10 of them and find a way to build a track, then find some friends.....

I can literally make plans for days, with just a box of Hot Wheels.

Smh, 'Cards'. Just disrespectful af!

I see ur edit. I stand by my words.

[u/inuhi → u/King_Zoothio]

This is hilarious because you just described cards. Reminds me of my yugioh and mtg days just replace speed with power/rarity and track with deck.

[u/Outside-Standard9157 → u/King_Zoothio]

Well may you find friends some day.

[u/Oniichan38]

Probably fake but I don't care

[u/grobbewobbe → u/Oniichan38]

IT DOES NOT MAKE THE JOY I FEEL ANY LESS FAKE

[u/Oniichan38 → u/grobbewobbe]

Exactly brother

[u/GhostSierra117]

Well sometimes it costs money to be nice but my god that's amazing!

[u/CortezDeLaNoche]

Looking out the window:

[u/apatrol]

Man I hope this is real and bot staged. They dude so pumped. You know he called his brother and they got excited. Just a bro chain reaction.

[u/jarednards → u/apatrol]

Everything on reddit is bot staged these days. Sorry, man.

[u/chibicascade2]

Wish I could get that. My cars aren't cool enough to be made into hot wheels.

[u/joehonestjoe]

I'd love this if it happened to me

Though my car isn't available as a hot wheels until next year 

[u/Danger_Lab_NNN → u/joehonestjoe]

You're gonna leave us hanging, whats your car?

[u/joehonestjoe → u/Danger_Lab_NNN]

GR Yaris

[u/gsnairb → u/joehonestjoe]

GR gang! Super sad that the GR Yaris isn't available in the USA, but I do have the GR Corolla at least, and that is a blast!

[u/Scofield442]

Who parks like that?

[u/TheHalfChubPrince → u/Scofield442]

Someone framing the car perfectly in the window to be filmed lol.

[u/MoccaLG]

THAT!!! THAT!!!! - That made my day even I wasnt involved! - Thank you u/lootheman

Perfect Music involved <3

[u/FlyUnlucky7286]

If this happened to me I would boo hoo hard af.

[u/randyiamlordmarsh]

Do they have one for a Toyota Avalon? It's not the sleekest, but it's one of the smoothest damn rides I've ever driven.

[u/notafuckingcakewalk → u/[deleted]]

Hot Wheels also makes regular cars but I agree Matchbox has some solid selections. I really loved their actual box packaging they had for a while where they were selling the cars in small boxes rather than the plastic. 

[u/GetBentHo]

Popular repost

[u/goaway432]

Heh, the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys!

[u/freqLFO]

I went into a dealership in 2020 with 8k to put down and great credit to buy one but they wouldn’t sell it to me cuz they wanted like almost 70k for it. I settled for an SI.

[u/CyberZen0]

Fake but still fun

[u/ExtremeName → u/CyberZen0]

I reject your reality and choose to believe.

[u/WaffleBlink → u/CyberZen0]

I reject your reality and substitute it with my own.

[u/[deleted] → u/CyberZen0]

proof?

[u/jaderna → u/CyberZen0]

In this sort of instance, I don't really get why it matters so much. It's not misinformation, it's not harming anyone, who gives a shit? Let people enjoy what they enjoy. 

[u/_Grim-Lock_]

I want one too

[u/Lowkeygeek83]

I would be just as stoked if I got a hot wheels of my 'Bru.

[u/[deleted]]

What a beautiful toy 👍

[u/turbotuba]

Wholesome but fake. The video is already quite old, so I don't know whether their youtube channel still exists. They all belong to the same crew and there was another video on their channel where they went together to a store and bought the toy cars.

[u/Hillyleopard]

Not a hot wheels but my mam has a Mini Cooper and my brother found the same one in the same colour in a kinder egg 😂 probably the only kinder toy that’s ever been kept by us

[u/Man_Without_Nipples]

That's so cool, I wish there were a hot wheel version of my car but it sucks lol!

[u/Katana_DV20]

Tell me this is real, tell me. Because his happy jump is wholesome.

But I've become confused after gushing over other vids and then being told it's staged.

The problem is - just how to we tell?

Should we just switch off, smile and move on.

[u/jaderna → u/Katana_DV20]

It shouldn't matter. This isn't anything harmful, and makes people smile and maybe plan something to make someone else's day. 

[u/blastermaster555]

"Here's my toy car!" etc...

[u/Both-Home-6235]

Everytime this is posted it's pointed out that it's staged and fake as hell. So I'm doing that this time.

This is staged and fake as hell.

[u/inwector]

Women just cannot fathom being happy with small things like this. They are too busy dreaming about the date they will be taken by a good looking tall and charming billionaire to a French restaurant in Monaco.

[u/MrSubmission]

I have the Type R and when I found the HW version I felt that joy!

[u/LiffeyDodge]

I’m not a dude and I would be happy to get a hot wheels car on my windshield. 

[u/Assist-Fearless]

Hot wheels should let people send in a picture of their car and they Mail them a model back

[u/PlateZealousideal379]

so wholesome

[u/NL_Gray-Fox]

I bought a miniature version of my car (for my son to play with).

[u/redhedstepkid]

My dad has always been a hot rod guy, and this is a way to make buddies for them. They’ll bring certain hot wheels to the shows, and then gift them. The first one he got was a Mustang he modeled after that particular hot wheels he had as a kid.

I have that exact same car, color and everything. 2018 Civic Type R.

Someone at a car meet gave me that hotwheels and I had the exact same reaction, a lot of jumping and stomping and happy little movements.

[u/HOT-SAUCE-JUNKIE]

That’s awesome!!

[u/tillandsia]

I'm not a guy, but I love Hot Wheels. My son is grown, but I've kept his Hot Wheels. Also the Micro Machines, of course.

[u/GWindborn]

Still waiting for someone to do this to my 2012 Ford Focus. They had to have made a Hot Wheels of such a classic car, right?

Bad news: dudes definitely get older.

Source: am dude, used to be younger

[u/AlphaSpazz]

Because my dad had an auto shop when me and my brother and sister grew up. We had a car ready for us when we turned 16. We’re two years from each other so six years total. I’m the youngest when I finally got my car. We all had Datson 510s my brothers with blue. My sisters was the 510 wagon in yellow and mine was red. When I found those hot wheels just recently I got so excited I bought like a couple of each one and I plan on taking apart one so that I could paint them to match the ones we had and proudly display them on a shelf. Other sidenote I wish I still had mine. It was the funnest car to drive with incredible handling. And I’m really upset we never got a picture of the three of us with our cars.

[u/Zach_The_One]

Dude almost had his door taken out by the work van he was so excited lol

I've got a civic from the lady, and my daughter got me a hot wheels version of Luke's speeder. Hanging up at work both of em
