Toyshittification.
Detailflation.
Clearly, feminism’s fault.
“Wait, why is the middle car circled?”
Guys, I think I may be stupid
Alexa, set an eye exam appointment for Worx.
I went looking tirelessly and thought I was going colorblind. It’s the chassis that looks like a red marking.
Apparently, in order keep the “die cast” label, either the base or the top are die cast.
Some cars are plastic on top and metal on the bottom, and others are metal on top and plastic on the bottom.
As I recall, the wheels are also no longer 4 separate axel pins. They’re just two long pins. One in the front, one in the back.
Well now wait a minute, the Corvette on top may be correct. The car manufacturer puts so many covers on the bottom of cars now the hot wheels might be accurate.
Looks like it would be pretty much correct for a C8 but not the C7.
Making all my toy cars out of plastic not because I’m cheap but because I’m authentic.
For anyone looking for a fun way to play with your toy cars, I highly recommend the free tabletop game GASLANDS. Glue some guns to them and blow them up with your friends!
This seems accurate to what modern car underbodies look like, a smooth underbody is very important for aerodynamics and therefore fuel efficiency. For race cars it is often even more important not only for fuel efficiency but for downforce.
Also rust protection. Northern cars just having the floor fall out is less of a thing.
why northern? I thought the Southeast was more prone to rusting as the Mexico Gulf is right there?
Probably salt on roads. Sea air kinda rots everything, salty roads just the bottom.
Cheaper and cheaper as time goes on. My Tonka dump truck was made from steel and it would hurt me more than I could hurt it.
