It's been a while since we've done these
First person up for "return of the spotlights" is Decepticog72283
2. Where are you from / where do you live now?
I was born in Quebec, Canada. Living in Ontario, Canada nowadays
3. When did you start collecting Cars?
Our first 2 cars (Cars 2 LMQ and Mater) came on my sons birthday cake in March. My mom bought them and put them on there as decoration. A month or so later we bought Finn for $3 on clearance. August is when we seriously got started.
4. Why did you start collecting Cars?
I have been collector of random things my entire life. Started off mostly with sports cards. Coins, stamps. Transformers, etc. I've seen the first movie and loved it but never thought about collecting. My mom kinda got the bug in me with the first 2 she purchased. But it wasn't until I saw the clearance Walmart 3 packs that I really got motivated.
5. How many cars (roughly) do have currently have?
We currently have 21 cars, all from the singles 1:55 scale. 20 from Cars 2 and the shiny LMQ from the Cars Encyclopedia.
6. Which diecast car is your favourite (only one allowed)?
That is a tough choice. Raoul CaRoule as I love drifting cars or Carla Veloso with all those sleek curves and fancy design. But...I'm gonna have to go with Carla. Mostly because she looks absolutely fantastic as a Silver Racer from the K Mart days
7. Which car (from the movie) is your favourite, and why?
Another tough question. Mater is the funny guy...so I think I'll go with him.
8. What has been your best ever find?
Nothing super special, but I was quite happy with picking up Shu Todoroki, Carla Veloso and Nigel Gearsly in a $10 clearance 3pack at Walmart
9. What car(s) do you currently own?
I currently own a 2012 Dodge Journey
10. What is your dream car?
Lamborghini Aventador hands down.
11. What do you do for a day job?
I unfortunately work at a call center working customer care for a cell phone company. Hard times have happened and I'm just happy to have job right now
12. Other than Cars Collecting, do you have any hobbies?
I have 3 major hobbies. Gaming (xbox 360), Reading and watching movies. Well...other then my playing with my kids of course
13. What is your greatest ever achievement?
I'm not sure how to answer this one. I have stopped looking at my life in terms of achievements a while ago. All I can see now are my kids' achievements in life. I guess creating and keeping a happy family would be the #1 spot
14. What is your favourite ever TV show and favourite ever movie?
TV show is Top Gear. The original UK version. My favourite movie is a trilogy...Lord of the Rings.
15. If you won "Who want's to be a millionnaire", what would you do with the money?
I would pay off my debts, buy a house and invest the $500 000 or so that would be left over. Might keep a couple of grand to myself to spend on my hobbies and cars

. That is far outside of my budget for good condition things. The only thing I have is a Japanese G1 Starscream reissue. The majority of what I have is from (gasp) the 2007 movie line. My favourite ones though are the 3" Titanium series. I just like the way they look. I've been thinking about selling most of it anyways and only keeping the ones my gf and I like. Or I could just pack them away and when my son is older...he can play with them.
