Chicago - born and raised here and still living here
3. When did you start collecting Cars?
3 months ago - back in June 2012
4. Why did you start collecting Cars?
My wife was buying them earlier this year to help my twin boys potty train. It worked for awhile then lost its effect. But I found that I was drawn to these little toys and thought they were very nicely made. So I took over the buying and then you could say I went kinda crazy with the collecting.
5. How many cars (roughly) do have currently have?
I've amassed about 350 cars that are loose that my boys play with. And I have about another 400 hundred that are sealed. All this in 3 months. Packages arrive daily at my house - many times 4 or more per day. It's gotten a little out of hand whereby my wife asked me to cool it a bit.
6. Which diecast car is your favourite (only one allowed)?
Popemobile - hence my name.
7. Which car (from the movie) is your favourite, and why?
Apple Car because he's got only one little scene in the moview and that's it
8. What has been your best ever find?
I focus on rare cars for my sealed collection. I bought a 'van with stickers' (that actually had the nice butte sticker on it) for $10. I also bought a rare 12 carded Filmore for $15.
9. What car(s) do you currently own?
Toyota 4Runner (black)
10. What is your dream car?
Yellow Pontiac Solstice
11. What do you do for a day job?
Tech guy for an insurance company
12. Other than Cars Collecting, do you have any hobbies?
I play 4 instruments (guitar, bass guitar, bass clarinet, and piano). I'm a huge KISS fan as well.
13. What is your greatest ever achievement?
My twin boys
14. What is your favourite ever TV show and favourite ever movie?
Three's Company (I own the entire DVD set). Favorite movie is 'The Godfather'
15. If you won "Who want's to be a millionnaire", what would you do with the money?
Pay my kids college tuition and pay off our house
