Lamborghini Jota

1:18 scale diecast 1970 Lamborghini Jota SVR by Kyosho. Everything about this car epitomizes the "supercar" - wide, low, powerful, and super cool. I'm picturing a mustached swinger in a leisure suit, open silk shirt and gold chain with a mini-skirted chick in big blonde hair reaching 205mph - yea, baby.

Gurney Eagle

1:18 scale diecast 1967 Indy AAR Eagle #36 LE by Carousel1. No downforce. No safety belts. No protection. All skill. This is the highest quality model I own and the detail is awesome. I wanted to show the Westlake F1 V12 Dan Gurney racer in a technical theme 'cause that seems to express the manner in which you would want to drive it.

Ferrari 550

1:18 scale diecast 1996 Ferrari 550 Barchetta by Hot Wheels. This is a big car, man. It even looks huge in this picture. All the reviews I've read say it's brilliant in every way, but why is it so damn big? It makes the Testarossa look small. Diggin' the swwweeeet cockpit, though.

Shelby Cobra

1:18 scale diecast 1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe by Signature. I used a gritty filtering process and a lot of contrast to portray the sense of grit you get looking at this model -- the smell of gasoline, greasy hand rags, grimy tools and business as usual.

Ferrari 456

1:18 scale diecast 1992 Ferrari 456 GT by Bburago. A truly sublime design in my opinion. It may not be the ultimate performer but what a great commute. Unfortunately, the trunk lid doesn't sit flush (so the rear lines are broken) and you can't see it but the driver side door had to be glued shut. Quality control on this model was seriously lacking.
