Hi everyone. My name is Marty Johnson, and my drug of choice is diecast collecting. I need help.
The green F40 just talked to me. "Marty! Marty! Come! Come! Come get me. You know you want me! Resistance is futile." I succumbed.

Resistance is futile. Lol.

Great pick ups! That green F40 is totally unusual. I have them in 1/18th scale in yellow, red and black and, I think, silver. But this is the first I've seen it in green. SWEET!

Love your Smokey Yunick collection!

Is that green on beige F40 by Kyosho? Such an unusual, somewhat luxurious color combo for that car, but the F40 is so fantastic, it looks good in every color.

"HI MARTY!"
It's nice to meet you, but we can't help ...... in fact, we'll only make things worse. If you're serious about quitting cold turkey, may I suggest these sites, they can help you:
- Estate Auctions
- Charitable Organizations
- The Betty Ford (not Henry Ford! ) Clinic
- eBay
Good luck, stay strong! Never forget that the Devil is out there, he will lure you, he will taunt you: "Proceed to checkout, Pay now, Complete your purchase, and (the most dangerous ) Buy Now." 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬

LOL! TOO funny!
You KNOW Marty's not about to stop growing his collection any time soon. And it's a dandy one at that!

Marty, I'm afraid you're talking with the wrong people. Remember, misery loves company.

You KNOW Marty's not about to stop growing his collection
Many years ago, one of the first things Marty ever told me was, "Chris, I've actually downsized my collection; I'm focusing more now on quality rather than quantity." To which I replied, "Sounds like a plan, go for it."
Thinking of course, that going forward he'd make specific choices of select releases, a few here & there. ....... that was about 40 models ago! 😬 😆 😬 😆

@paul-rouffa Did you say Smokey Yunick?
Smokey Yunick Tribute Tractor Trailer with two 1967 Camaro's & Smokey Yunick Ramp Truck & Tribute 1957 Chevrolet Race Car.
Smokey Yunick Ramp Truck 1969 Boss 302 Mustang Number 11 & Smokey Yunick Ramp Truck 1967 Camaro.
Smokey Yunick Pickup Truck & Trailer 1969 Boss 302 Mustang un-numbered & Smokey Yunick Ramp Truck 1962 Watson Roadster with wing. This was the first wing ever run on an indy car. Smokey did not run the wing in the race, only in practice.
1960 Watson Roadster indy 500 winner Smokey Yunick was the crew chief. Interesting fact, the 1962 Watson Roadster with wing is the same 1960 Watson Roadster Smokey Yunick was the crew chief on in 1960, Smokey bought the car and ran it in 1962 and with the help of Bruce Crower put the wing on the car.
