    I've only been actively collecting for a few years now - most of my 
valuable cars are the ones Mom put away for me as I grew up.  I got the box 
with all the Hot Wheels - mine, AND those of my two brothers!  
    I've recently collected a few of the Johnny Lightening cars, as well as 
some of the re-issued Hot Wheels classics.  My biggest problem is that I'm 
not an avid collector - I only collect the cars I like, not EVERY model.
    Guess that makes me just about average.
