Used to Buy These for My Son
In 1966, Elliot Handler, one of the cofounders of Mattel, was also the inventor of Hot Wheels". The innovative gravity-powered car had special low-friction styrene wheels. Tiny Hot Wheels’ vehicles have been clocked at speeds of up to 300 miles per hour.

When I was a kid we had many debates over which was better - Matchbox or Hot Wheels. I preferred Matchbox.
XOXOXOXOXO
I think he might have had more Matchbox cars than Hot Wheels. I'll ask him which he preferred since I got him whichever kind he wanted.
I liked Matchbox better; they looked like real cars. My favorite was a gray Lincoln Continetal and the doors actually worked!!
I was a Hote Wheels kid.... they didn't have a many styles as matchbox, but they went faster on their little plastic track!
I had both, neither one went over 300 miles in my neighborhood.
I asked Brian, and he said Matchbox for him. Those were neat little cars. I remember the doors and hood opened. Good details!
Technology truly has become one with our daily lives, and I am fairly certain that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as memory becomes less expensive, the possibility of uploading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could encounter in my lifetime.
