  • Spotlight On..... Scavenger

    Up next in Spotlight On... Ladies and gentlecars, I present to you... Scavenger.


    2. Where are you from / where do you live now?
    Suburbs of Philly/Jersey Shore.

    3. When did you start collecting Cars?
    My son has had a few for awhile, we really didnt seriously start collecting till this past November 2012.

    4. Why did you start collecting Cars?
    My son cannot get enough of the Movies, we have a weekly movie night and he and my daughter alternate who gets to choose the movie. His choice is always Cars 1, Cars 2 or Cars Toons!

    5. How many cars (roughly) do have currently have?
    About 125 Loose ,225 Packaged and 50 Extras.

    6. Which diecast car is your favourite (only one allowed)?
    Alex Hugo w/Party Hat, just fits my personality!

    7. Which car (from the movie) is your favourite, and why?
    Gotta be Guido, his expressions and personality is great!

    8. What has been your best ever find?
    I guess it has to be when I first started seriously hunting and me and my daughter went to Wal-Mart one day. I walked to the aisle with the cars and found a fresh case b minus Rip, but at the time I didn't care as I loaded up with a bunch of cars we never had. As I'm walking out of the toy section I notice a cars logo on a center aisle bin. Sure enough not just 1 but 2 dump bins, so then I was like a kid in a candy store as I rifled through the bins. Don't remember how many I bought but I know it was over $100. I have had plenty of other great finds including 2 Rips at one store, but this was the most memorable!

    9. What car(s) do you currently own?
    2012 Hyundai Elantra

    10. What is your dream car?
    Had my dream car but had to trade it in for fuel economy. Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 4x4 w/Off Road package!! That thing was nice, will have one again some day!!

    11. What do you do for a day job?
    Casino Management

    12. Other than Cars Collecting, do you have any hobbies?
    Fishing, Snowboarding and Computers.

    13. What is your greatest ever achievement?
    My 3 children of course (2 girls age 1 and 3, and my boy who's 6).

    14. What is your favourite ever TV show and favourite ever movie?
    TV show all time Family Guy(recently Game of Thrones) and Movie is Old School...funniest movie ever!

    15. If you won "Who want's to be a millionnaire", what would you do with the money?
    Well a million doesn't go very far any more so I would be boring and just pay off some bills and the mortgage and invest and save the rest for retirement/college.

    Great to learn more about you, Scavenger... Casino management - looking for new Cars is always a gamble - you're well prepared.

                Nice to find out more about you Scavenger. The early collecting days are some of the best - there's no such thing as peg warmers! You score something every time you go shopping. I miss those days.

                    Nice, I bet we have a lot of TV & movie interest in common.
                    I envy newwer collectors a little. Because there's so much out
                    there. But secondary market prices slap ya back to reality pretty
                    darn quick though... Well nice to have you in the Cars communities.
                    And learn more about you.

                        Yeah being a new collector was great for awhile...but now I am at the point where everything I need/want would require a second mortgage or possibly land me a divorce! So Im just gonna take it a little easy now and grab for the collection as they come along! If you saw my collection thread you would know I had those 4 big containers full of packaged cars...well thats up to 6 now and I just bought the seventh at Target today because im gonna need it soon!

                        Actually I can, but summer good rates at my place is still a nice hit to the wallet! Off season it would be a really sweet deal!

                          Missed this the other day. Great read from a great guy.

                          Or should that be 'wiseguy' given the Jersey/Casino/Alexander Hugo thing?

                            Saw that you are a Casino Manager. If your company buys out Charlestown, WV, Casino, let me know. I'll leave my job to become a pitboss. It will cut down on my commute.
