Dream Car

by Tom Shillue on November 23, 2011

I remember when Hot Wheels® came on the scene. They seemed flashy and ostentatious. I was strictly a Matchbox® kid, being more traditional and not interested in hype. I didn’t need Camaros and Cougars with mag wheels and Spectraflame® paint. But everyone began to switch to Hot Wheels®. I still wasn’t taken in. Until the Splittin’ Image®. It was the coolest car I ever saw. With twin pontoons and bucket seats. I actually traded several Matchbox cars to get it. After that, it was only Hot Wheels®. Or rather, only Splittin’ Image®. I used to picture myself driving around the neighborhood alone, with only room for one more-who would I pick up?
Look at this car. I still want one!
