I dare say this might be one of the toughest weeks in a while. Even the cars that I might not normally be into are ones that are at the top of their respective game. I'm not big into military diecast, but that HIMARS is impossibly cool and very well done. I'm not as into American cars like I know a lot of people are but the 100% Cadillac and Ertl Ford are both wonderfully done and deserving models. The BMW is a great representation of the High Speed brand and the Seat is just flat out cool. To me, it came down to two cars though, the AW Firebird and the Kyosho Alfa. The Firebird is probably the best representation of that car to date and looks great, but I had to go with the Alfa. I may be biased towards Kyosho, but that car is too beautiful to ignore, so for me the sword swallowing snake beats the golden eagle for this round.

Voted for the AW Firebird because that is the first time that year has ever been done to my knowledge and the body lines and the overall look is dead on. It is such a great looking casting. If the Firebird was not in the line up it would have been a hard decision to pick a favorite out of the rest.

Picked the Amercom HIMARS. Low price and extreme detail give it high marks in my opinion.

At $15, I've got to get one.

We're traveling in style this week as the Eldorado pulls away late to take the win away from the Firebird.
