In this post, Peter Chen writes about his shared love for collecting Hot Wheels with his son, Simon.
Q: How long have you been collecting?
A: We attended the Hot Wheels 40th Anniversary Road Tour at the Indy MotorSpeedway in 2008, and have been hooked on Hot Wheels ever since!
Q: What is the most prized piece in your collection?
A: The 40th Anniversary Otto from the Indy 40th Anniversary Road Tour—it's my son's first Hot Wheels!
Q: Why is your collection unique?
A: We collect cars that have family meaning— we have a collection of state cars that represent all of the places my family has visited. We also have a collection of Honda cars because we drive a Honda.
Q: Why do you like collecting?
A: We like collecting because it's something we do together, as a family. Whether it's attending a special Hot Wheels event or an Indy Hot Wheels Club meeting, or finding a new car to add to our collection, the joy we get from collecting creates family memories.
