Nice little collection you've got there. I've probably got somewhere around 125 or so, around 90% Mopar.
They're in the living room, kitchen/dining room, bedrooms, tv room.
I think I have over a dozen Challengers.
I was even customizing a Dodge Baja racer. Sometime when I'm at home I'll post some pictures.

X-Files? You watch that show Waye? I like the redhead chick! They never show her scantily clad though, and the dude in there sucks! Space 1999, now that was Sci-Fi! It was also UK made in the mid 70's to compete with Star Trek. It was a much better show I thought. Spock was Gay.

My little collection is nothing. On a diecast board I mainly lurk at, there are a couple of guys with over 2000 cars. One guy, a bachelor, has his whole house filled with them.
